- Utilize BIM and IFC, coordinate, and document building models (walls, slabs, structures, etc.).
- Import, export, and validate IFC data to ensure seamless interoperability with other CAD/BIM platforms.
- Develop and manage constrained sketches, parametric model trees, and building components throughout project lifecycles.
- Prepare detailed documentation sets, including technical drawings and model exports (STEP, STL, DXF, IFC).
- Articulate your modeling strategies, BIM structuring choices, and interoperability considerations clearly in both written documentation and verbal recordings.
- Collaborate with technical teams to capture and convey the rationale behind your workflow, supporting AI learning objectives.
Key Skills:
- Expert-level proficiency in FreeCAD, with a strong portfolio of complex, completed projects.
- Proven track record managing full parametric 3D CAD workflows using FreeCAD from concept to production.
- Deep practical knowledge of BIM methodologies and IFC standards, including relevant FreeCAD workbenches.
- Hands-on experience with building elements, model structuring, and data management for interoperability.
- Solid skills in AutoCAD, CAM, and other 3D CAD software environments.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, with attention to detail in documentation.
- Ability to self-direct in a remote, collaborative environment, meeting high standards of professionalism and technical rigor.
