MINIMUM SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
Create fabrication level mass timber modeling and shop drawing content for CNC and install while partnering with senior DC staff and project teams.
Job Description:
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES:
- Execute design development and contract drawing review for mass timber and other structural systems; manage resolution logs, request for information (RFIs), and other documentation during design development process
- Manage document control, quality control, submittals, MEP integration, and meeting minutes
- Lead and/or assist with shop drawing creation for submission to AE, internal team, Fabrication team, and site team
- Interact with parametric models/families (Autodesk Revit); use these families as basis for creating high-quality, error-free fabrication models, with assistance from inner DC team as needed
- Support CNC exports for machine language, develop proficiency in CNC machine modeling (tooling, cut sequence/path, performance, tolerance)
- Assist with model transfer and process to Fabrication team
- Partner with internal project team regarding project constructability, including feedback for design advancement and inner-team goals
- Perform CNC cut testing review and quality control as it relates to machine time and quality
- Continuously track, manage, and advocate for design issues (RFIs or otherwise) through initial submission to closeout and implementation
- Advocate ownership goals, architectural visual intent, and Timberlab fab/install
- Stay abreast to standards and continuously thrive to develop and improve our design/detailing standards
- Mentor and support Digital Drafting staff. Review Drafter-produced content (2D, 3D) for quality and baseline Timberlab DC standards. Provide meaningful and immediate feedback upon review.
- Support inner-team training for new DC staff and/or other Timberlab departments.
- Assist with developing internal and external technical marketing materials
- Develop knowledge in 2D/3D model review via Navisworks, Revit Schedules, and review current global/shared parameters
- Develop understanding of schedule process within DC team and its broader impact on early pre-con efforts, manufacturing, fabrication sequence, and install
- Develop CNC coding and translation skillset, movement of fab-level 3d content to CNC/Fabrication team
- Develop QC expertise in coordination with dissimilar trades (Clash resolution and tracking)
- Develop understanding of material behavior (through manufacturing, fabrication, install, in-place) of mass timber, steel, concrete, etc. to aid in review and design-assist for connections and layout of mass timber buildings
- Other responsibilities as assigned
MINIMUM SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
- Engineering, Construction Management, or Architectural degree, or completion of Construction Management Certificate Program, or equivalent 3-5 years of construction-related work experience
- Architect experience is a plus
- Strong understanding of general construction building systems
- Fundamental understanding of contract plans through all disciplines
- Ability to read and interpret structural details, steel vendor shop drawings, non-structural shop drawings, product data, etc. - for consistency and risk mitigation
- Capable of managing and leading others in a technical production environment.
- Structural detailing and/or mass timber-specific detailing background preferred
- CNC fabrication experience (detailing, operation, etc.) a plus
- Basic computer skills
- Effective organizational skills
- Effective written and verbal English language communication skills
- Ability to use independent judgment, self-starter
- Ability to drive to approved production schedules - proactive risk tracking as it relates to overall DC project schedule.
- Extensive knowledge with Revit (or similar software) - proficiency in both 3D geometric modeling and 2D documentation/plan sets.
