About this job

Are you a detail-oriented Residential Architect Modeler with strong 3D modeling skills and experience in custom residential design? Our California-based client is looking for a Residential Architect Modeler to support custom single-family residential projects during the Schematic Design phase, with a strong focus on producing accurate 3D models that support high-quality renderings, along with clear and well-organized SD drawing sets. If you have solid experience with U.S. residential projects, strong proficiency in Rhino, AutoCAD, and SketchUp, and enjoy working in a collaborative remote environment, we’d love to hear from you. This is a full-time, fully remote opportunity, and you must be available to work in Pacific Time (PT). Apply now!

  • Develop accurate and detailed 3D models in Rhino and SketchUp to support renderings produced by the team’s visualization specialist.

  • Prepare SD drawing sets, including floor plans, sections, and elevations.
  • Incorporate and resolve design redlines and markups accurately and on time.
  • Keep 3D models and 2D drawings consistent and coordinated as the design evolves.
  • Review models and drawings for accuracy, consistency, and alignment with project standards.
  • Identify inconsistencies or potential issues early and communicate questions to the project lead.
  • Translate design concepts into clear, well-organized models and drawings.
  • Produce and revise 2D drawings in AutoCAD, while using Rhino and SketchUp for 3D modeling and design studies.
  • Follow the firm’s modeling and documentation standards, templates, file organization, and workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with the project lead and team, becoming increasingly autonomous after onboarding.
  • Work primarily on custom single-family residential projects.
