3D Rendering / SketchUp Designer for Custom Sauna Company

Hours: Part-time, project-based to start. Likely 5 to 10 hours per week initially, with room to grow. About us: Swedberg Sauna Co. is a custom sauna design and construction company based in Atlanta, Georgia. We design premium indoor and outdoor saunas for residential and commercial clients. We are looking for a reliable 3D designer who can take measurements, photos, sketches, and written specifications from our client consultations and turn them into attractive, accurate renderings that help clients visualize their future sauna. This is not primarily an architecture or engineering role. These renderings will be used during the sales and design process, so accuracy, speed, and visual presentation are more important than producing construction documents. What you will do Build simple, accurate sauna models from dimensions and written instructions Create attractive exterior and interior renderings Create simple top-down or 2D layouts when requested Accurately represent: room dimensions doors windows glass walls benches heaters lighting roof shape interior and exterior wood finishes Make revisions based on feedback Eventually maintain a library of reusable Swedberg Sauna Co. components to make future projects faster Typical project You may receive something like: Outdoor sauna. 90 inches wide x 84 inches deep x 96 inches tall. Full glass front with door on right. Upper bench along rear and left wall. Lower bench below. Heater front left. Horizontal cypress exterior. Cypress interior. Black trim and black shed roof. Photos of the client's yard attached. You would turn that into a clean visualization that we can send to the customer with their proposal. Software Experience with SketchUp is strongly preferred. Rendering software could include: Enscape D5 Render Twinmotion Lumion V-Ray similar software Experience with AI rendering tools is a plus, but we do not want someone relying solely on generative AI. Dimensions and layout must remain accurate. What we're looking for The ideal person: follows detailed instructions carefully understands measurements and spatial relationships notices when something doesn't make sense communicates clearly in English can usually turn around a project within 24 hours is comfortable receiving revisions works independently has strong attention to detail Experience with saunas is not required. We can teach you our sauna design standards. Very important Accuracy matters more than artistic creativity. For example, if our instructions say: window is 6 feet wide door is on the right heater is on the left bench is 24 inches deep those elements cannot move or change simply because another arrangement looks better.
