Collaboration is typically facilitated through regular virtual meetings, screen-sharing sessions, and iterative feedback cycles to ensure the model aligns with the project vision and technical requirements. Effective communication and adaptability are key, as priorities and design specifications may change throughout the project. This collaborative environment provides opportunities to learn from experienced design professionals and gain exposure to a variety of architectural styles and workflows.

To thrive as an Hourly SketchUp Designer, you need proficiency in 3D modeling, a strong understanding of architectural or product design principles, and relevant educational background or experience. Expertise in SketchUp software, plus familiarity with related tools like LayOut, V-Ray, or AutoCAD, is typically required. Strong attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to interpret client requirements are crucial soft skills. These abilities ensure accurate, visually compelling models that meet client expectations and project deadlines.

SketchUp & 3D Rendering Specialist (Freelance)

KSI

Des Moines, IA

$100/hr

Contractor

Posted 8 days ago

Job description

Freelance / Contract SketchUp & 3D Rendering Specialist - Immediate Need

Location: Remote in the United States - Iowa or Midwest preferred

Type: Freelance / 1099 Contract - immediate start, ongoing engagement

Compensation: $100/hour, DOE (billed by project/hours)


About the Opportunity

A well-established Midwest manufacturer of strength-training and fitness equipment - serving colleges, universities, and high schools nationwide - needs a freelance SketchUp / 3D rendering specialist to support its sales and visualization team. This is an immediate need with the potential to grow into an ongoing fractional relationship. Posted on behalf of a confidential client by Katalyst Systems Impact; company details are shared once we've connected.


What You'll Do (Immediate Priorities)

  • Convert 2D architectural drawings (.dwg, PDF, etc.) into accurate SketchUp models so the sales team can design within the space
  • Turn completed SketchUp room layouts into high-resolution renderings, animations, and presentation-ready materials
  • Build accurate room shells with architectural details, materials, and lighting
  • Create photorealistic renderings for customer presentations, including customer logos and individual equipment renderings
  • Produce 3D walkthroughs and animated videos (day/night scenes, visual effects)


This Role May Grow To Include

  • Website and marketing renderings
  • Converting engineering models (SolidWorks) into SketchUp
  • Advanced rendering / post-processing for larger projects
  • Exploring emerging visualization technology - VR and immersive customer experiences


What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience with SketchUp and photorealistic rendering (V-Ray, Enscape, Lumion, Twinmotion, or similar)
  • 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


Schedule & Workload

  • Fully remote; no fixed hours required, but fast turnaround is essential (prior contractor typically turned work around in 5-6 hours same-day, 12 hours overnight)
  • Workload is cyclical - busiest October-December, lighter in summer - and has grown year over year
  • 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.


To Apply

Submit a portfolio/reel of relevant SketchUp and rendering work along with your hourly rate.
