You will work closely with architects, engineers, project managers, and leadership as part of a multidisciplinary team to produce coordinated BIM models and drawing sets. This includes applying architectural standards, interpreting specifications, adapting general and project‑specific details as needed, and supporting the development of code‑compliant documentation by incorporating applicable building codes and standards as directed. This position is well suited for a BIM/CADD professional who is comfortable working with minimal supervision, managing multiple tasks, and contributing independently within a collaborative team environment.

Why Join Jacobs Cities & Places?

• Work on meaningful projects that help shape communities across the region
• Collaborate with architects, planners, engineers, and project leaders across diverse sectors
