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.
