Virtual Designer

Virtual Designer - Modular

The Virtual Designer plays a key role in bringing electrical systems and modular skid solutions to life through detailed drawings, 3D models, and cross-functional coordination. This position supports project teams by transforming concepts into accurate, buildable designs-bridging engineering, manufacturing, and field operations.

This role is part of Gaylor Electric's Production Innovation Center , focused on modular electric room skid production. The Virtual Designer is instrumental in developing fabrication-ready designs, supporting production teams, and continuously improving design standards through real-world feedback.

A successful candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, and eager to grow their technical capabilities in electrical design, BIM, and modular construction.
