What are the responsibilities and job description for the Revit Designer position at Crow Engineering, Inc.?
Revit Designer III – Industrial & Mass Timber StructuresAbout the role
Crow Engineering is hiring a Designer III to lead Revit modeling across two kinds of work: heavy industrial facilities, and heavy timber and mass timber structures. One week you may be laying out equipment, platforms, and steel in a mill; the next you may be detailing panels and connections for a timber building. You'll own the model from concept through construction documents, working with our engineers and project managers to turn client goals into buildable, well-coordinated designs.
For more than 40 years, Crow Engineering has provided engineering design and consulting to clients in the wood products, industrial, and heavy commercial industries. We value proven design standards and the people who know how to push them forward. In this role you'll help carry that experience into the next generation of BIM tools and workflows.
What you'll do
- Lead Revit modeling for timber mill and other heavy industrial projects, and for heavy timber and mass plywood buildings, from early layouts through construction documents
- Model and detail mill facilities: equipment layouts, structural steel, platforms, foundations, and building structures
- Coordinate with other trades including process, mechanical, electrical and others
- Model and detail timber structural systems: columns, beams, panels, connections, and penetrations, coordinated with steel, concrete, and MEP trades
- Produce plans, sections, assembly drawings, steel/wood/concrete details, connection details, and panel layouts that fabricators and installers can build from
- Check designs for constructability, manufacturability, ease of installation, and overall quality
- Act as lead designer on client requests: understand the client's objectives, then take open-ended tasks to completion with little supervision
- Work closely with engineers and project managers on scope, schedule, and budget; delegate to other designers and drafters as needed
- Speak up when a design choice affects safety, reliability, or quality
- Keep revision control tight and manage model coordination and clash detection
- Help build and maintain Revit/BIM standards, templates, families, and training materials for the team
- Communicate directly with clients and vendors on project updates, issues, and tasks
What you bring
- 7 years of relevant design experience
- Advanced Revit skills, including model setup, family creation, sheet production, and multi-discipline coordination
- Design experience on industrial or large scale commercial facilities
- Design experience in timber or mass timber construction
- Working knowledge of timber connections, panel layout, and the fabrication and erection sequence for wood structures
- Steel and concrete drafting experience
- AutoCAD or similar 2D CAD experience
- Experience with engineering change orders and revision/version control
- Strong written and verbal English; comfortable presenting to clients, vendors, and colleagues one-on-one or in groups
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage your own priorities under deadline pressure
Nice to have
- Ability to perform moderately complex structural engineering design tasks
- Autodesk Inventor experience
- Technical or engineering degree
- Experience with model handoff to CNC fabricators
- Experience developing BIM standards, templates, or a standards manual
- Experience with material handling systems and process flows in continuous manufacturing
- Experience supporting architectural deliverables (plans, code reviews, renderings) alongside a licensed engineer or architect
Work environment
- Office-based, with some travel to client sites within the US
- On site, you'll follow client safety procedures, including PPE, lockout/tagout, and emergency response
- Site visits may require climbing, crawling, or entering areas off normal walkways (safely)
- Occasional lifting up to 25 lb; extended periods at a workstation
Reasonable accommodations can be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role.
