Your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude.

This position is an opportunity to become a vital part of a growing team focused primarily on Federal delivery while expanding into private sector client space. Design your career with a company that inspires and empowers you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow, and succeed – today and into tomorrow.

• Highly focused on quality, ensuring conformance with established structural standards, project standards, and project delivery processes.
• Provide quality reviews of models and documents prepared by others to assure design and project standards are met.
• Actively support the maintenance of standards of practice and techniques for BIM/CAD.
• Work collaboratively in a team environment with other BIM/CAD Designers and Engineers.
• Experienced designers will need to delegate to junior designers when appropriate, plus mentor junior designers by assisting with finding answers to technical questions and concerns.
