  • Advanced rendering / post-processing for larger projects
  • Exploring emerging visualization technology VR and immersive customer experiences

  • Ability to convert .dwg/PDF architectural drawings into clean SketchUp models
  • A strong portfolio of renderings, animations, and walkthroughs
  • Fast, reliable turnaround and clear communication the single biggest factor in this role's success
  • Based in Iowa or the Midwest strongly preferred (Central/Eastern Iowa a plus) for time-zone and communication ease, and to allow for the occasional in-person visit as responsibilities grow; open to other U.S. locations for the right candidate
  • Your own SketchUp/rendering software and license

  • Immediate start; ongoing contract with room to grow


Location Requirement

Candidates must be currently located in the United States and perform the work from within the U.S. Iowa or Midwest-based candidates are strongly preferred, with Central/Eastern Iowa a plus, due to time-zone alignment, ease of communication, and the potential for occasional in-person collaboration as the relationship grows.
