Industrial Revit Designer - Infrastructure

BlastOne•Columbus, OH

About The Position

BlastOne is a global leader in abrasive blasting, industrial painting and surface-preparation solutions. Our Infrastructure division designs and delivers complex blast, paint and industrial processing facilities for some of the world's leading shipyards, defense contractors, manufacturers and heavy-industrial operators. Our work goes well beyond supplying equipment. We design and integrate complete industrial systems—including ventilation, dust collection, material handling, blasting, coating, electrical and controls systems—into highly complex operating environments. In the United States, a significant part of our growth is connected to the expansion and modernization of the maritime industrial base and U.S. shipbuilding infrastructure. We are looking for an exceptional Industrial Revit Designer to become a permanent member of our Infrastructure design team and help us deliver these facilities.
