Building Designer II

As part of a small, passionate and accomplished team, you will design, evaluate, and deliver world-class high-performance wall systems, enclosures, and buildings using ICON’s technology set. As an ICONIC, you will be a leader and direct contributor to the development of entirely novel approaches to high-performance buildings and you will have the opportunity to work with your team to advance humankind’s ability to provide dignified, affordable, resilient, and sustainable shelter to the world.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Contribute to the development of ICON’s concrete 3D-printed (C3DP) wall system to maximize  human comfort, safety, experience, and sustainability.
• Develop construction documents, drawing sets, wall assembly drawings, schematic diagrams, and building envelope details with a focus on window and door systems, waterproofing, and weatherization.
• Develop construction diagrams to effectively communicate construction sequencing for successful integration of building envelope components and building systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) in the field.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and building & material science departments to determine best practices for achieving effective weatherization, resilient design, and high thermal performance of the printed wall system.
• Assist in the experimentation of innovative wall profiles and configurations for future application in projects.
• Evolve ICON’s drawing templates, organize ICON’s detail library, and assist in the development of ICON’s wall catalogue for application of wall systems in various climatic conditions.
• Produce drawings to communicate design intent for research and development.
• Coordinate with software engineers, print technicians, and construction operations to ensure successful implementation of wall construction in the field.
