Remote Motion Designer Jobs in New Mexico (NOW HIRING)

Senior Pre Fabricated (Pre Fab) Designer Job Description

The Senior Pre-Fab Designer at Improve Group (IG) is a highly experienced technical expert responsible for leading the design, integration, and execution of prefabricated building systems across DoD and commercial projects. This role serves as a subject matter expert (SME) in pre-fabricated construction methodologies-bringing deep expertise in systems such as DIRTT, Falkbuilt, and comparable solutions-and plays a critical role in advancing IG's OMEGA platform and prefabrication capabilities.

This position bridges design, manufacturing, and construction by translating complex client requirements into fully coordinated, constructible design solutions. The Senior Pre-Fab Designer not only delivers high-quality drawings and models, but also guides, mentors, and elevates the technical capabilities of the broader design team. This role does not have direct reports but operates as a subject matter expert, providing advanced technical insight, supporting team members in solving complex design problems, and optimizing workflows across the pre-fabrication design process.

For a highly qualified candidate meeting all experience requirements, this role offers the flexibility to be remotely based within the United States. Travel of up to 30% is expected and will include a mix of client and project site visits, as well as periodic travel to our Albuquerque, NM office to support team connection, collaboration, and ongoing learning. All travel will be company paid.

Priority consideration will be given to candidates located within one hour of a major airport with strong flight accessibility, particularly in Colorado, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico. Candidates outside these regions may be considered based on business needs and company discretion.
