About Gensler
At Gensler, we design for people. We leverage our global perspective and local presence to innovate at every scale. We’re not just designers. We’re tinkerers, craftspeople, visionaries, innovators, and thought leaders. Fueled by passion and entrepreneurial spirit, our people bring new ideas to solve challenging problems.
Whether you’re into sketching new ideas, hacking a building, or growing client relationships in global markets, there’s something here for everyone. Our depth of expertise spans disciplines—from mixed-use to hospitality to retail, workplace, and more. Whether we’re refreshing a retailer’s brand, planning a new urban district, or designing a super tall building, we strive to make the everyday places people occupy more inspiring, more resilient, and more impactful.
Your Role
As a Gensler Technical Designer, you will collaborate with our Design Directors and Technical Directors to develop design solutions as well as coordinate the design through the construction documentation phase of a project. You will be successful because you already know how to translate an architect's sketches and documents into realized 2D/3D models and images and can research artistic and/or technical issues when they arise. Your work ethic, combined with your commitment to collaboration and mentoring, makes Gensler the perfect place to nurture your career.
What You Will Do
- Participate in all project phases, including conceptual designs, presentations, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and production.
- Collaborate with design team, clients, consultants, contractors, fabricators, regulatory agencies, and other vendors to meet overall project objectives.
- Produce graphic presentations, 3D renderings, and construction drawings.
- Utilize hand rendering techniques to communicate design concepts.
- Champion Gensler’s diversity and inclusion goals with respect to staff, partners, and consultants.
Your Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Architecture from an accredited program.
- 0-5 years of related project experience.
- Proficiency in modeling using 2D/3D software, such as CAD, Revit, Octane, 3dViz, 3ds MAX, and/or Rhino utilizing V-Ray.
- Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and/or SketchUp.
- Knowledge of relevant building codes and accessibility requirements.
- Licensed / Registered Architect and/or LEED accreditation are a plus.
- Knowledge of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and parametric design software, including Grasshopper is a plus.
For consideration, please submit your resume and portfolio. This role is not remote or hybrid; we look forward to working with our new team member in our incredible Atlanta office.
