AspectSenior 3D Visualization3D Artist
CredentialsBachelor's degree in Design, Architecture, or related field; extensive portfolioSimilar educational background; entry to mid-level experience

Your Opportunity
At Stantec, we believe that great design starts with great people. Our Design Visualization Services group blends design, data, and technology to craft meaningful visual stories that communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.
We are seeking a Senior 3D Visualization Specialist to join our growing team of creative professionals. In this role, you'll help shape how projects are experienced-transforming technical designs into compelling, photorealistic visuals that inform, engage, and inspire.
You will collaborate closely with engineers, architects, planners, and designers to develop high-quality renderings, animations, and interactive experiences for infrastructure, water, environmental services, energy, mining, community development, and architectural projects.
Your Key Responsibilities
  • Handle and manage extremely large 2D/3D datasets from CAD applications including Revit, MicroStation, OpenRoads, AutoCAD, Civil3D, ESRI, and Rhino.
  • Develop and implement GIS/ESRI workflows tailored for visualization projects and geospatial data integration.
  • Perform Civil3D conversions and apply advanced production methods to optimize data for visualization workflows.
  • Conduct research and development in cutting-edge technologies (Gaussian splat, AI automation, Digital Twin, etc.) to advance Stantec's visualization capabilities and deliver cutting-edge deliverables.
  • Design and maintain custom 3ds Max tools and scripts used across visualization teams to improve efficiency and consistency.
  • Collaborate with project teams to ensure visualization deliverables align with technical accuracy, design intent, and project timelines.

Qualifications
Technical Skills
  • Advanced proficiency in 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Strong understanding of CAD, GIS, and BIM workflows for visualization.
  • Strong understanding of real-time rendering software (Vantage, TwinMotion, Unreal Engine) and emerging visualization technologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage large and complex datasets across multiple software environments.
  • Experience with scripting and automation (MAXScript, Python, or similar).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Visualization, Architecture, Engineering, Digital Media, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 10 years of professional experience in 3D visualization, preferably in the AEC industry.
