About The Position

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated 3D Modeling Associate to support the development of high-quality 3D assets for building systems and equipment. This role focuses on creating accurate, consistent, and optimized models that integrate seamlessly into BIM and visualization workflows.
This is an entry-level position ideal for candidates looking to grow their technical skills in 3D modeling, BIM, and mechanical systems design while working closely with experienced modelers and engineers.

Requirements

• Certificate, Associate’s, or Bachelor’s degree in 3D Modeling, Drafting, Industrial Design, Mechanical Design, or related field
• Equivalent practical experience may be considered
• 0–2 years of experience in 3D modeling, CAD drafting, or related work
• Internship or academic project experience acceptable
• Familiarity with 3D modeling tools (e.g., Autodesk Revit, 3ds Max, Blender, SketchUp, or similar)
• Basic understanding of materials, textures, and lighting for visualization
• Knowledge of file organization, model hierarchy, and naming conventions
• Willingness to learn BIM coordination principles and model optimization techniques

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to mechanical or building systems is a plus
• Experience with mechanical equipment or MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems preferred but not required

Responsibilities

• Build accurate and visually consistent 3D models of mechanical, electrical, and building systems equipment (e.g., air handlers, chillers, pumps, VAVs)
• Follow established asset templates to ensure consistency in layout, structure, and appearance
• Apply proper geometry, materials, and naming conventions to support BIM and visualization integration
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of a standardized 3D asset library
• Organize files, folders, and metadata for efficient access and reuse
• Participate in quality checks to ensure all assets meet visual and technical standards
• Work with senior modelers and engineers to understand equipment layouts and design requirements
• Revise models based on feedback from project teams
• Support integration of models into larger building and system environments
• Ensure all deliverables meet internal standards for scale, level of detail, and visual quality
• Maintain clean, lightweight models optimized for BIM performance and rendering
• Follow established workflows, templates, and modeling best practices
