Role Overview:
Due to a strong and growing order book, our client is seeking an experienced 3D Designer to join its in-house technical team. Working within a busy design office, you will develop detailed 3D models and fabrication-ready drawings for curtain walling, glazing and façade systems, taking projects from architectural concept through to manufacture and site installation. This is a key technical role suited to a designer who is genuinely proficient in the 3D environment and confident interpreting complex architectural intent into buildable systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Produce detailed 3D models and 2D fabrication / assembly drawings for curtain walling, windows, doors, cladding, brise soleil and structural glazing systems.
- Develop designs from architect's drawings, specifications and performance requirements through to fully detailed, manufacture-ready output.
- Prepare general arrangement drawings, sections, junction details and interface details with adjoining building elements.
- Work closely with the estimating, project management, production and site teams to ensure designs are accurate, compliant and buildable.
- Liaise with architects, main contractors and design teams on technical queries, RFIs and design coordination.
- Carry out material take-offs and generate cutting / fabrication schedules for the production lines.
- Ensure all designs comply with relevant standards, CWCT performance criteria and project-specific testing requirements.
- Maintain drawing registers and revision control throughout the project lifecycle.
Skills & Experience Required:
- Proven experience in a 3D design role, ideally within façade, curtain walling, glazing, fenestration, fabrication or a related construction-product environment.
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD / modelling software such as Inventor, SolidWorks, Revit, Rhino or AutoCAD 3D.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings and specifications.
- Sound understanding of aluminium systems, glazing, weatherproofing and the principles of façade performance (air, water, wind, thermal).
- Strong attention to detail and a methodical, quality-focused approach.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across technical, production and site teams.
Desirable:
- Experience with proprietary façade systems (e.g. Schüco, Reynaers, Kawneer, Wicona, Technal or similar).
- Knowledge of CWCT standards and façade testing processes.
- Qualification in mechanical / structural / architectural design, engineering or façade technology.
What's on Offer:
- Permanent role with an established, growing market leader in Irish façade engineering.
- Varied, high-profile project portfolio across commercial, educational, healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
- Strong in-house technical team and ongoing investment in design capability.
