Revit Application Developer - CO

The Prescient Companies would like to find a developer with experience with the Revit API to help them with a project. They need someone with experience managing content and interacting between all three versions of Revit. They aren't committed to a specific programming language at this point so your skills and ability to help them determine the best one to use will be important.

The project is a contract position but the right person might find a permanent home. The project could be completed off-site for the most part but a visit to Denver, Colorado might be necessary to get things started.


If you are interested and want to learn more please contact Michael via EMAIL.

You will routinely deliver training. Some travel will be required from time to time in support of offices other than your own.

Creative, innovative thinking within the bounds of Firmwide standards is often necessary to address the diversity of project types, team structures and project goals you will encounter at Perkins+Will. To keep your skills sharp, the firm will invest in your continuous professional development. Among the professional development challenges we may place before you will be LEED accreditation, professional licensure (if applicable) and acquisition of a Certified Document Technician (CDT) credentials.

  • Experience with Navisworks, Ecotect, 3D Studio MAX/VIZ, Mental Ray, VRay, animation, and advanced rendering techniques is highly desirable.
  • Other non‐Autodesk systems experience and knowledge (e.g. SketchUp, Rhino, FormZ, ArchiCAD, Triforma & Generative Components) is a plus.
  • Experience with Project Information Management Tools such as Newforma is highly desirable. Familiarity with similar solutions such a Projectdox and Buzzsaw is a plus.
  • In certain instances/locations, you must have basic hardware and networking diagnostic skills or at least a demonstrable aptitude for so doing.
  • You will be expected to provide at least light support for the Microsoft Windows/Office desktop and Adobe Creative Suite products, with particular emphasis on PowerPoint, Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, In Design and Illustrator out of your experience using those applications.
