BIM Modeller

We're excited to launch a new state-of-the-art robotic homebuilding plant in partnership with several large homebuilders within the Greater Calgary Region. Powered by Promise Robotics' transformative production lines for timber-based panelized construction, the new plant enables our group of homebuilding partners to significantly increase the capacity and speed of home production within the fast-growing region of Calgary, AB.

We're looking for a highly talented BIM Modeller to join our team and oversee the development of production drawings in line with production timelines and ensuring compliance with codes and guidelines. The BIM Modeller constitutes a link between production and design at Promise Robotics and connects with customers, vendors, software suppliers, machinery and technology suppliers to ensure the highest standard of drafting performance and to support effective operation of the Company.
