Virtual Designer - Modular

Gaylor Electric•Indianapolis, IN

About The Position

The Virtual Designer supports Gaylor Electric’s Production Innovation Center, which focuses on modular electric room skid production. The role transforms project concepts into accurate, buildable electrical and modular designs by developing detailed drawings and 3D models and coordinating across engineering, manufacturing, project, and field teams. The designer helps create fabrication-ready designs, supports production teams, and improves design standards using feedback from real-world production and field work. The position includes developing and maintaining 3D models and 2D drawings with Revit and BIM/CAD tools; producing shop drawings; reviewing project requirements; managing drawing revisions and project documentation; and supporting estimating, scheduling, production, and installation. The Virtual Designer also coordinates designs across electrical and other building systems, assists with constructability issues, and contributes to standardized templates, component libraries, and repeatable skid configurations. This is an entry-level to early-career opportunity for a detail-oriented, collaborative candidate who is eager to build technical skills in electrical design, BIM, and modular construction. Success is measured by drawing quality, timely delivery, effective cross-functional collaboration, continuous improvement, and positive stakeholder feedback.
