Responsibilities

Rapid Test Fits
• Test Fit Development: Produce high-velocity 2D test fit layouts to validate if a team or department can fit within a proposed footprint.
• Scenario Modeling: Quickly iterate on floor plan options (densification, restacks, or neighborhood planning) based on input from the Occupancy Planner.
• Feasibility Checks: Evaluate building constraints (columns, egress, core/she l) to ensure test fits are realistic and code-compliant.

CAFM & Drawing Management
• Audit Support: Update floor plans folowing site audits to reflect as-built conditions versus planned layouts.
• Database Integrity: Own the accuracy of the CAFM/IWMS platform (e.g., Tririga, Archibus, etc).
• Polylining & Attribution: Maintain master drawing files. Perform polylining for space alocation and ensure al metadata (space types, department codes, and seat IDs) is current.

Visual Storytelling & Programming
• From Data to Drawing: Assist the Occupancy Planner in creating "visual narratives," such as color-coded stacking plans, heat maps of utilization, and adjacency diagrams.
• Executive Presentations: Clean up raw CAD files into polished, presentation-ready graphics for leadership reviews.

What You Bring:
• Agility: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can turn around a test fit in hours, not days.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced skils in AutoCAD are mandatory. Experience with Revit or Adobe Creative Suite (I lustrator/InDesign) is a significant plus.
• CAFM Knowledge: 2+ years of experience working within an IWMS/CAFM system where you managed the link between drawings and occupancy data.
• Real Estate Literacy: You understand BOMA/IFMA space measurement standards and how corporate real estate functions.
• Detail Obsession: You understand that a 1% error in a polyline can lead to a 100-seat error in a massive portfolio.

Qualifications

Experience: 2-4 years of experience in Architecture, Interior Design, or Corporate Real Estate.
• Education: Degree in Architecture, Design, or a related technical field.
• Bonus: Portfolio demonstrating quick-turn test fits and space planning examples.
