They oversee the integration of digital tools, workflows, and processes to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of design teams. Their responsibilities often include managing design systems, implementing new technologies, mentoring team members, and ensuring seamless collaboration between designers and developers. The role requires a blend of technical knowledge, leadership skills, and a deep understanding of design principles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Design Technology Lead?

To thrive as a Design Technology Lead, you need expertise in design principles, user experience (UX), project management, and a strong background in digital tools, typically backed by a degree in design, computer science, or a related field.

Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills help you inspire teams and bridge the gap between design and engineering. These skills are crucial for delivering cohesive digital products, driving innovation, and ensuring cross-functional teams work effectively toward shared goals.

How does a Design Technology Lead typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project?

A Design Technology Lead works closely with designers, engineers, product managers, and sometimes clients to bridge the gap between design and technical implementation. They facilitate communication by translating creative ideas into feasible technical solutions, ensuring both aesthetic and functional requirements are met. Collaboration often involves leading design system development, conducting technical feasibility assessments, and mentoring team members on design tools and workflows. This role requires proactive engagement in project planning and regular alignment meetings to keep all stakeholders informed and on track.

Job description

As our Design Technology Lead, you'll take a proactive role in advancing how architectural projects are planned, executed, and delivered through Building Information Modeling (BIM) and design technology. You'll guide teams on complex project needs, oversee standards and workflows, support software and content management, and contribute hands-on in BIM/VDC and reality capture efforts to improve quality, consistency, and efficiency.
What You'll Do
  • Lead and facilitate the CADD/BIM committee; partner with disciplines to develop, maintain, and improve standards.
  • Provide division-wide training on design technology tools; plan and lead recurring training sessions.
  • Serve as a go-to resource for project teams-troubleshoot issues, coach best practices, and help teams deliver on complex project requirements.
  • Maintain and coordinate updates to BIM libraries, templates, and related content.
  • Support software lifecycle activities including updates, installations, and deployments.
  • Administer design software licensing and support projects hosted on cloud-based collaboration platforms.
  • Provide reality capture, BIM, and VDC services as needed to support project delivery.
  • Promote adoption of standards across disciplines; document workflows, decisions, and key technical information.
  • Build collaborative relationships with architectural, engineering, and corporate partners.

  • 10+ years of related experience with demonstrated competence in BIM principles and practices on increasingly complex projects.
  • Strong working knowledge of BIM/CAD tools and workflows; proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Microsoft Office.
  • Demonstrated expertise with 3D scanning/reality capture and BIM-related assignments.
  • Ability to develop standards, train others, and provide effective technical support across teams.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and cross-discipline collaboration skills.

Education
  • Associate degree in Computer Aided Design (CAD) or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Professional license not required.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience developing and governing BIM standards, templates, and shared content libraries for multi-discipline teams.
  • Experience with cloud collaboration (e.g., model hosting, access control, and coordination workflows).
  • Comfort leading change, driving adoption, and coaching teams through new tools and processes.
  • Familiarity with established operating procedures and quality standards within an A/E firm environment.
