Designer III

Leading Production Quality, Coordination, and Discipline Execution

• As a Designer III, your impact comes from owning production quality, applying stronger technical judgment, and leading coordination across disciplines. You contribute in three key ways:
Lead Project Execution and Apply Technical Judgment
• You advance project momentum by delivering modeling, documentation, and early engineering work with increasing independence and sound judgment.
• You improve design clarity by preparing coordinated views, calculations, research, and specifications that help engineers make informed design decisions.
• You strengthen cross-discipline accuracy by structuring models effectively, managing links, and resolving coordination issues in partnership with production teams.
• You elevate discipline execution by applying engineering principles to device layouts, routing strategies, and coordination decisions.
• You estimate effort, sequence work logically, and coordinate task distribution within your scope, demonstrating early project management judgment that supports team efficiency and delivery predictability.
• You operate at a trajectory-defining level, taking accountability for discipline-specific deliverables while building the depth required to intentionally transition into either the Associate (engineering) or Senior BIM Specialist (production) path.
Contribute to Team Learning and Collaboration
• You build your skills and support team learning through structured training journeys, mentorship, and hands-on project experience.
• You improve team performance by sharing lessons learned, surfacing risks early, and offering feedback that refines discipline processes and standards.
• You elevate consistency and quality by enhancing documentation, tools, and workflows used by Designer I and II team members.
• You advance team coordination by contributing to discussions on project challenges, coordination strategy, and system improvements that enhance delivery clarity and efficiency.
Improve the TEECOM System
• You reinforce firmwide consistency by applying TEECOM’s templates, standards, and workflows and contributing meaningful refinements through documented feedback and Pull Requests.
• You improve project clarity and reliability by maintaining accurate, well-structured models and documentation with minimal oversight.
• You reduce rework and inefficiency by identifying production and coordination gaps and proposing practical, scalable solutions.
• You elevate team capability by resolving modeling issues, design conflicts, and documentation risks—and guiding junior staff to do the same.

What Success in this Position Looks Like

• You deliver accurate, fully coordinated Revit models, drawings, and documentation with minimal oversight.
• You lead model health management, ensuring links, worksets, families, warnings, view templates, and model organization comply with TEECOM’s BIM standards.
• You run and interpret clash tests in Navisworks or ACC, communicate coordination risks early, and drive cross-discipline resolution.

• You support engineers by producing advanced calculations, specifications, product evaluations, and detailed coordination documentation.
• You manage multiple workstreams effectively—prioritizing tasks, communicating risks early, and meeting deadlines across several projects.
• You accurately estimate workload, sequence deliverables logically, and provide informed input on level of effort for assigned scope, demonstrating early project management judgment.
• You apply TEECOM standards consistently and contribute improvements through documented feedback and Pull Requests.
• You lead or support coordination meetings and produce clear, actionable notes that strengthen project alignment.
• You collaborate with production and engineers to identify and resolve coordination issues and maintain model accuracy.
• You maintain high-quality documentation in GitHub and contribute meaningful Pull Requests that improve tools, templates, or workflows.
• You meet utilization targets and complete daily time and expense entries accurately.
• You model TEECOM’s Core Values—Care, Trust, and Value—through leadership in communication, accountability, and technical execution.
