Job Description Summary: 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
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.
