Architecture Design Jobs in Vermont (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: Senior Structural BIM Designer
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly capable Senior Structural BIM Designer to join our technical design team. In this role, you will transition from purely drafting-focused tasks into a position of high design ownership. You will act as a standalone design lead on smaller projects, coordinating directly with owners and engineers, or function as the lead designer for specific systems/levels on larger, complex capital projects.
The ideal candidate is an expert in Revit and Navisworks who understands not just how to model, but how those models impact project scope, schedule, and construction costs. You will oversee junior designers, conduct rigorous back-checks for high-accuracy deliverables, and provide the technical guidance necessary to move projects forward with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibilities
Design Leadership & Project Ownership
• Standalone Design: Take initiative on smaller project scopes; identify project goals, research relevant building codes, and translate verbal engineering direction into actionable design layouts.
• Systems Lead: Function as the primary designer for specific structural systems or building levels on larger projects; oversee intermediate/entry-level staff to ensure the accuracy and quality of their model and plan outputs.
• Multidisciplinary Coordination: Lead internal and external discipline meetings; resolve spatial conflicts between structural systems and other trades (MEP, Architectural, Civil) and existing field conditions.
Technical Delivery & Documentation
• Project Deliverables: Produce and coordinate high-quality construction documentation, including plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and structural details.
• Design Development: Participate in the design approach by proposing creative solutions to structural constraints, itemizing the pros/cons of various options, and presenting findings to project leads and clients.
• Quality & Compliance: Perform extensive back-checks on your own work and the work of junior staff to ensure 100% adherence to specifications, codes, and industry best practices.
• Field Integration: Perform field surveys of existing conditions to inform renovation or retrofit designs; process submittal documents and manage information requests (RFIs) with high technical precision.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Technical Mastery: Extensive modeling and drafting experience utilizing Revit and AutoCAD.
• Model Review: Advanced proficiency in Navisworks and Bluebeam for clash detection and coordination.
• Discipline Knowledge: Deep understanding of structural systems and a working familiarity with interfacing disciplines. Demonstrated ability to understand codes, standards, and their application to real-world design.
• Commercial Acumen: A solid grasp of how design decisions impact project scope, budget, and schedule. Must have the ability to identify "scope creep" early and elevate issues to project leadership.
• Task Management: Ability to break down projects into granular tasks, assign labor hours, and provide accurate work estimates to management.
• Communication: Ability to ask pertinent questions to clarify direction and move projects forward without needing to be "spoon-fed" every step.
Preferred Attributes
• Proven ability to act as a system or area lead designer.
• Strong leadership qualities; able to mentor junior staff while maintaining a positive, solution-oriented attitude.
