About the Position The Designer III is an entry-level role focused on supporting modeling strategy, strengthening discipline execution, and owning coordination and documentation quality across projects within a defined discipline focus. You’ll apply TEECOM’s workflows, tools, and BIM standards with a high level of independence, serving as a key technical contributor who helps project teams deliver coordinated construction documents. You’ll contribute to project delivery through advanced modeling, drawing development, coordination leadership, documentation, and early engineering support within your primary discipline (Telecom/ICT, Audiovisual, Security, Acoustics, Network, Wi-Fi, etc). As your technical expertise deepens, you’ll take on more complex responsibilities, including supporting system layouts, calculations, research, and design development with limited oversight. Working closely with engineering mentors, project leads, and production staff, you’ll help maintain model health, guide coordination workflows, and reinforce TEECOM’s BIM and documentation standards.You’ll support fast-paced coordination cycles, identify risks early, and help teams maintain clarity and alignment across models, markups, and deliverables. You’ll also contribute to TEECOM’s documentation system by refining workflows, improving modeling standards, and supporting updates in GitHub based on lessons learned from project experience.
