Full Time
Portland Office
Mid Level

Ready to bring structural engineering projects to life through precise, high-quality BIM documentation?
 

We're looking for a talented Revit Specialist to join our team. This role sits at the intersection of technical craft and collaborative delivery - translating ideas from sketches and verbal direction into accurate, coordinated drawings that project teams depend on. If you take pride in clean models, sharp details, and getting it right, we want to hear from you!



Who We Are

We're Holmes US - a structural engineering firm that's anything but boring! With offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and Boulder, and roots in New Zealand, we're known for taking on projects that make other firms say, "Wait, how did they do that?" We're growing our BIM capabilities and need someone who genuinely cares about the craft to join our team.

Your Impact

  • Provide BIM support across project teams, producing drawings from sketches, verbal instructions, and notes
  • Analyse input materials to determine the best approach for developing deliverables, working with minimal supervision
  • Create and manage Revit families that improve project efficiency and consistency
  • Manage submittal production for medium-sized projects and assist on medium/large projects
  • Collaborate with project leaders to coordinate consultant work and keep things moving
  • Contribute to the organisation of plans, sections, details, and elevations
  • Uphold office standards for design quality, production, and accuracy - including reviewing your own work
  • Manage distribution and filing of incoming and outgoing project documentation
  • Apply project research and understand and implement relevant software and operating systems
 

You'll Thrive Here If You Have

  • An A.A. degree in Architecture, Engineering, or equivalent
  • 4+ years of structural drafting experience or related experience
  • Intermediate to advanced Revit, AutoCAD, and Bluebeam skills, including the ability to create and manage Revit families
  • Strong verbal communication skills, including listening and questioning
  • Good analytical skills - you can assess risks and obstacles and offer practical solutions
  • Solid time management and a track record of meeting deadlines
  • Additional MS Office proficiency (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • A collaborative, detail-oriented mindset with a genuine commitment to supporting your project team
