3D Modeling Associate at divcon

United States

About the role: We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated 3D Modeling Associate to support the development of high-quality 3D assets for building systems and equipment. This role focuses on creating accurate, consistent, and optimized models that integrate seamlessly into BIM and visualization workflows. This is an entry-level position ideal for candidates looking to grow their technical skills in 3D modeling, BIM, and mechanical systems design while working closely with experienced modelers and engineers. Key Responsibilities: 3D Modeling & Asset Creation Build accurate and visually consistent 3D models of mechanical, electrical, and building systems equipment (e.g., air handlers, chillers, pumps, VAVs) Follow established asset templates to ensure consistency in layout, structure, and appearance Apply proper geometry, materials, and naming conventions to support BIM and visualization integration Asset Library & Data Management Contribute to the development and maintenance of a standardized 3D asset library Organize files, folders, and metadata for efficient access and reuse Participate in quality checks to ensure all assets meet visual and technical standards Collaboration & Production Support Work with senior modelers and engineers to understand equipment layouts and design requirements Revise models based on feedback from project teams Support integration of models into larger building and system environments Quality & Standards Compliance Ensure all deliverables meet internal standards for scale, level of detail, and visual quality Maintain clean, lightweight models optimized for BIM performance and rendering Follow established workflows, templates, and modeling best practices Qualifications: Certificate, Associate’s, or Bachelor’s degree in 3D Modeling, Drafting, Industrial Design, Mechanical Design, or related field Equivalent practical experience may be considered 0–2 years of experience in 3D modeling, CAD drafting, or related work Internship or academic project experience acceptable Exposure to mechanical or building systems is a plus Familiarity with 3D modeling tools (e.g., Autodesk Revit, 3ds Max, Blender, SketchUp, or similar) Basic understanding of materials, textures, and lighting for visualization Knowledge of file organization, model hierarchy, and naming conventions Willingness to learn BIM coordination principles and model optimization techniques Experience with mechanical equipment or MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems preferred but not required
