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 brings electrical systems and modular skid solutions to life through detailed drawings, 3D models, and cross-functional coordination, transforming concepts into accurate, buildable designs that bridge engineering, manufacturing, and field operations. The designer develops fabrication-ready designs, supports production teams, and improves design standards using real-world feedback. The position involves creating and maintaining 3D models and 2D drawings with Revit and BIM/CAD tools; producing fabrication-ready shop drawings; reviewing specifications and electrical drawings; and managing documentation throughout the project lifecycle. The Virtual Designer collaborates with manufacturing, engineering, project management, procurement, and field teams to resolve design questions and conflicts, support production and installation, and keep stakeholders informed about design changes. The role also contributes to standardization and process improvement, manages multiple project deadlines, and maintains accurate, organized project records.
