You’ll play a hands-on role in delivering fabrication-ready models and coordinating data across disciplines and stakeholders. You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to advanced tools and workflowsAPI integrations, and visualization work in Unreal Engine for rendering, AR/VR, and presentation materials.

This is a role for someone who understands how buildings go together — and enjoys making that process smoother, smarter, and more visual.

  • 2+ Years in Structural modelling and drafting
  • Familiarity with BIM workflows and construction coordination
  • Understanding of concrete structures, rebar detailing, and shop drawing development
  • Experience communicating with engineers, drafters, and fabricators to resolve technical issues
  • Proficiency with Tekla Structures is considered an asset
  • Experience with C#, Python, or Tekla API is considered an asset
  • Experience with Unreal Engine, 3D rendering and visualization, or VR/AR tools is considered and asset
