BIM Designer I-III
CA | GA | NY | CR
Role Summary
Are you a BIM / Revit power user who's been itching to break the mold; to design ecological systems and complex, integrated site work that most toolsets and project types rarely allow?
Sherwood is currently seeking a BIM / Computational Designer to support an evolving design and documentation workflow within our landscape architecture, planning, and engineering practice. The successful candidate will work as an integral part of the project team, collaborating across landscape architecture, urban design, structural engineering, and civil disciplines to support complex Rhino-to-Revit workflows, cloud based BIM environments, and ongoing design coordination through the CD process. This candidate will help translate evolving computational and geometric design systems into coordinated Revit documentation models suitable for consultant coordination, IFC exchange, and construction documentation.

- 2-3 years of work experience in Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Architecture, or architecture technology.
- Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Urban Design, or closely related field
- Experience supporting construction documentation production and drafting within multidisciplinary project environments
- Proficiency in BIM,Rhino,Grasshopper, AutoCAD
- Working knowledge of Rhino and Rhino-to-Revit workflows, including geometry translation and model coordination strategies
- Understanding of model structure, geometry abstraction, metadata organization, and BIM data coordination
- Ability to troubleshoot model performance, geometry fragmentation, coordination conflicts, and export issues
- Understanding of geometry optimization strategies for model performance
- Ability to read and interpret project drawings, consultant models, technical documentation, and coordination correspondence
Preferred Skills
- Familiarity with ACC or other cloud based work sharing environments
- Experience in middle to large scale project experience is preferred.
- Experience with Civil3D, Navis Works, Infrastructure Modeler or other software is a plus.
- ASLA, AIA, and/or LEED AP certification
- Experience preparing content and narrative for proposals and design competitions
- Master's or Advanced / multi-disciplinary degrees are encouraged to apply.
Expected Outcomes
- Support the implementation of BIM standards, procedures and best practices.
- Support the translation of evolving Rhino and computational geometry into coordinated Revit documentation
- Coordinate geometry, metadata, and BIM structure between computational design workflows and production documentation requirements
- Support consultant coordination, model exchange, IFC exports, and ACC publishing workflows
- Assist in troubleshooting model performance, export issues, and interoperability challenges
- Maintain model organization, view templates, worksets, and BIM standards across multidisciplinary project environments
- Implement quality assurance standards to meet LOD expectations
