About Sherwood

Sherwood is a civil and environmental engineering firm that is committed to investing in and embracing people, communities and the environment. 

Our team has delivered net zero energy and net zero carbon systems, net positive water systems, resilient coastlines, natural resource protection, green streets, living roofs and more for thousands of clients in the region and across the globe. We specialize in sustainable infrastructure, water management strategies, green building design, and systems based solutions for infrastructure and landscapes. Our focus is on the conservation and management of the consumption of all site resources — carbon, energy, water, and waste. We’ve worked on over thirty award-winning projects, and our work has been published locally and internationally.

Founded in 2003, our award-winning projects include Hudson Yards in New York (the largest private real estate development in U.S. history), San Francisco Better Streets Plan, Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan, revitalization of the iconic waterfront Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the 35 square-km Baietan Urban Area Plan in the heart of Guangzhou, China.

Our mission is to engineer an environmentally and socially regenerative planet. Will you join us?

Role Summary

Are you a BIM / Revit power user who's been itching to break the mold;  to design ecological systems and complex, integrated site work that most toolsets and project types rarely allow?
 

Sherwood is currently seeking a BIM / Computational Designer to support an evolving design and documentation workflow within our landscape architecture, planning, and engineering practice. The successful candidate will work as an integral part of the project team, collaborating across landscape architecture, urban design, structural engineering, and civil disciplines to support complex Rhino-to-Revit workflows, cloud based BIM environments, and ongoing design coordination through the CD process. This candidate will help translate evolving computational and geometric design systems into coordinated Revit documentation models suitable for consultant coordination, IFC exchange, and construction documentation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Urban Design, or closely related field
• Experience supporting construction documentation production and drafting within multidisciplinary project environments
• Proficiency in BIM,Rhino,Grasshopper, AutoCAD
• Working knowledge of Rhino and Rhino-to-Revit workflows, including geometry translation and model coordination strategies
• Understanding of model structure, geometry abstraction, metadata organization, and BIM data coordination
• Ability to troubleshoot model performance, geometry fragmentation, coordination conflicts, and export issues
• Understanding of geometry optimization strategies for model performance 
• Ability to read and interpret project drawings, consultant models, technical documentation, and coordination correspondence

Expected Outcomes

• Support the implementation of BIM standards, procedures and best practices.
• Support the translation of evolving Rhino and computational geometry into coordinated Revit documentation 
• Coordinate geometry, metadata, and BIM structure between computational design workflows and production documentation requirements
• Support consultant coordination, model exchange, IFC exports, and ACC publishing workflows
• Assist in troubleshooting model performance, export issues, and interoperability challenges
• Maintain model organization, view templates, worksets, and BIM standards across multidisciplinary project environments
• Implement quality assurance standards to meet LOD expectations
