This position works directly with Managing Architect, and design staff to design, draft, detail and assemble preliminary and construction documents in both AutoCAD and Revit. At times the position will use Revit, and Enscape to create 3D models, renderings, and perhaps animations to help visualize projects for our clients. This position will have the opportunity to take preliminary designs of a variety of building types, provide design and detailing input, and create documents for construction. This challenging position will require problem solving skills and will teach the student all facets of construction to properly design each unique project. The depth of tasks assigned will be dependent on the student's proficiency. Previous strong co-ops have been given full, independent, design of additions and new buildings of many project types with direction and supervision.
