About This Role
This role involves building clean, accurate white models in SketchUp for the earliest stage of spatial design, providing a solid foundation for the design team. It is a hands-on modeling position, translating briefs, sketches, or architectural files into organized 3D spaces, and is intended for a seasoned practitioner who can deliver clean models with minimal supervision.
Responsibilities
- Build pre-conceptual white models of interior and exterior spaces in SketchUp from project briefs, sketches, and reference material
- Convert and optimize Revit and AutoCAD files into clean, lightweight SketchUp models ready for design development
- Model existing conditions from architectural drawings, site plans, and field documentation
- Organize every file to Jack Porter's standards, including scale, tags, naming conventions, and component structure
- Turn revisions quickly as design direction evolves
Requirements
- 4+ years of professional SketchUp modeling experience in architecture, interiors, exhibit, retail, or environmental design
- A portfolio that shows white model or massing work, not just finished renderings
- Working proficiency with Revit and AutoCAD, including converting and cleaning up complex architectural files
- Read architectural drawings accurately and think spatially
- Build models that are disciplined and easy for others to work in
- Take a brief and run with it, ask sharp questions early, and turn in models that need refinement, not rebuilds
- Manage your own workload and deadlines, and provide your own hardware and software licenses
Nice to have:
- Experience modeling for sports venues, higher education, retail, or experiential projects
- Experience working with architects or design-build firms
- Quick sketching ability to confirm intent before modeling
- Familiarity with Twinmotion, Lumion, or similar rendering tools
Application Process
- Send your resume, portfolio, and a few sentences on why you'd like to work with us at Jack Porter
- Applications submitted without a portfolio will not be considered
- Finalists may be asked to complete a short, paid modeling assignment
