Architectural Designer – BIM (Mid-Level)
Our Affiliate, Urbanlion Consultancy | Pune, On-site | Full-Time | 2–4 Years Department: BIM / Architectural Design & Documentation | Reports To: Senior Project Designer / Project Manager

About the Company

We started Urbanlion with a simple idea: turning good design into practical, build-ready projects.
We bring a 360° view of the AEC process, connecting design, documentation, coordination, and approvals. Our work combines practical design strategies with a thorough understanding of applicable U.S. building codes and local requirements, along with seamless collaboration across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. We work closely with our clients, bringing clarity, reliability, and timely execution to every project.

About the Role
Read this part carefully, because it decides whether you should apply.
We are hiring an architect, not a modeler. At Urbanlion, BIM is a tool — it is not the job. We're looking for someone who can think through a design problem, develop a concept, work out how something should be built, and then use Revit to produce it.
You'll work on live U.S.-based residential, commercial, and industrial projects with real ownership of your packages from early on.
The scope here grows as fast as you do.

What You'll Own
Design thinking, first
Understand the design intent behind a project, not just the instruction attached to a task
Develop concepts and work through design problems rather than waiting for a resolved answer to model
Make sensible design and detailing calls within the brief, and be able to explain why you made them
Question a drawing that doesn't make sense instead of reproducing it faithfully
Your models and your drawing sets
Build and maintain Revit models and construction document sets you can stand behind — plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules
Translate design intent into drawings a contractor can actually build from
Develop architectural details that hold up against project requirements and standards
Keep model organization, views, sheets and annotations clean enough that someone else can pick them up without asking you
Coordination — proactively, not on request
Coordinate your architectural work against Structural, MEP and consultant information
Find clashes and inconsistencies before someone else finds them for you




Raise coordination issues early and in writing, with enough context that the reader can act on it
Bring in consultant updates and revisions accurately, first time
U.S. standards
Build a working understanding of U.S. construction practice and documentation standards
Apply IBC, ADA and project-specific requirements as you develop them
Learn U.S. materials, methods and detailing conventions — quickly, and largely on your own steam
Follow client-specific BIM standards without needing to be reminded what they are
Quality — yours to catch
Check your own work before it goes anywhere. The reviewer should be looking for design questions, not your typos
Find and fix your own modeling and documentation errors
Take feedback from seniors, PMs, and clients and make sure the same comment doesn't come back twice
Hit your deadlines, and flag early when something is going to slip
The team
Work alongside Senior BIM Designers, PMs, architects, engineers and consultants
Come to coordination and design reviews with a point of view
Communicate progress and technical issues clearly, without waiting to be asked
Help junior team members on Revit and documentation when they need it

Who Thrives Here
We care as much about how you work as what you know. The people who do well here:
Think like an architect and execute like a technician. You can work out what should be built and why , then produce it accurately. Both halves matter.
Move before being asked. You see the clash, the missing dimension, the consultant file that never arrived — and you chase it rather than noting it and waiting.
Own the outcome, not the task. "I modeled what I was given" isn't the standard. "I made sure the set was right" is.
Write clearly. A lot of coordination happens in writing, across time zones. If you can explain a problem in an email someone can act on without calling you, you'll go far.
Self-check obsessively. You'd rather catch it yourself than have a reviewer catch it.
Want to grow fast and stay.



We're looking for someone who becomes the go-to person on their packages over the next few years, not someone passing through.
Take technical feedback well. Not defensively, not passively. You ask what you missed, and it doesn't recur.
This probably isn't for you if:
Your experience is primarily production modeling or drafting to instruction, with no design involvement
You want a fully defined role with every standard documented and a reviewer checking everything before it ships

What You'll Need
Education: Bachelor's degree in Architecture. Civil Engineering or a related field considered where there's genuine design exposure.
Experience: 2–4 years in architectural design, BIM, or construction documentation — with real involvement in design development, not only production. Hands-on Revit on architectural projects. U.S. project experience is a plus, not a requirement; we'll take design judgment over familiarity.
Technical
Valuable to advanced Autodesk Revit
Working knowledge of AutoCAD
Solid understanding of architectural construction drawings and detailing
Understanding of building materials and construction methods
Basic multidisciplinary BIM coordination
Ability to read, interpret, and question architectural and construction documents
Nice to have
U.S. construction documentation experience
Working knowledge of IBC and ADA
Experience coordinating Architectural, Structural, and MEP drawings
Experience with international clients or project teams

What Good Looks Like
In the first year, we'd expect you to:
Deliver models and document sets that are accurate and coordinated the first time
Contribute design thinking to your packages, not just execution
Hit agreed project timelines, and raise a flag early when something won't land
Follow and help improve company and project BIM standards
Cut recurring errors to near zero through your own checking
Spot coordination issues and escalate them before they become rework
Show visible improvement in Revit, documentation, and U.S. standards quarter on quarter
Take on progressively larger and more complex packages without being asked to

We're growing, which means the ceiling moves — the people who take ownership early tend to find the next role opens up sooner than they expected.
