Your Role 
 
As a Technical Designer in Gensler’s dynamic Miami office, you will collaborate with our design teams 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.

• 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
