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

- Positive 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.
