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, residential, 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.

- 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
- 0-3 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
