Overview
Are you a motivated Architectural Designer who is passionate about BIM and eager to embrace the future of design? We're looking for a creative, driven professional who combines architectural expertise with innovative technology. If you're excited about using AI-enhanced design tools, the Autodesk Forma platform, and sustainable building practices to transform complex projects, we want to hear from you.
Our team is pushing boundaries by integrating advanced BIM workflows with sustainable design solutions. We need someone who is naturally curious, ready to learn, and thrives in a collaborative environment where innovation meets practical design. You will help shape the future of sustainable architecture for Amazon-owned Data Center facilities.
Key job responsibilities
Your primary focus will be designing Architectural and Structural BIM support for Data Center facilities, utilizing Revit to create and maintain BIM models in accordance with AWS BIM Standards. You will work collaboratively within a team environment, engaging with internal groups, external consultants, manufacturers, vendors, and contractors to ensure compliance with AWS BIM Standards and LOD requirements outlined in the Employer's Information Requirements (EIR).
Your Duties Will Include
* Working as a self-motivated contributor within the BIM Design group and across cross-functional teams
* Assisting in creating and maintaining Master Architectural model files while ensuring precise coordination and alignment with MEP, Structural, and other discipline models
* Preparing and developing detailed Architectural and Structural Revit models
* Assisting in creating and maintaining standard regional and global templates and family libraries
* Developing and publishing construction documentation for Architectural/Structural designs in a fast-paced environment to meet scheduled deliverables
* Updating and modifying existing models, studies, and construction documents as required
* Assisting with creating and maintaining BIM templates and enforcing BIM standards across all project deliverables
* Assisting in developing standardized architectural details and custom solutions that align with company standards and project requirements
* Participating in design coordination meetings with other trades for clash detection and resolution
* Working on concurrent projects across multiple geographical locations
* Assisting the project team with information exchange processes between internal and external customers
* Supporting internal teams and external partners on Common Data Environment (CDE) protocols and AWS workflows, ensuring seamless collaboration throughout the project lifecycle from design to construction
* Recording and reporting key metrics to management
* Travelling to Data Center sites for engineering evaluations and surveys as required
* Bringing a positive attitude and offering creative, out-of-the-box solutions
A day in the life
As a designer, you will collaborate across disciplines and teams to refine data center designs—creating detailed models, drawings, specifications, and prototypes while keeping managers and leadership informed of design evolution. A significant part of your role involves BIM coordination: participating in regular trade coordination meetings, performing clash detection and resolution across Architectural, Structural, and MEP models, and conducting BIM model audits to verify compliance with AWS BIM Standards and LOD requirements. You will review consultant models for data accuracy and consistency, ensuring all deliverables meet quality benchmarks before milestone submissions.
In this role, you'll receive coaching and guidance from experienced managers to develop your technical and professional skills, proactively seek feedback, participate in regular check-ins, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives while maintaining open communication with all stakeholders.
