Working Student: LCA & Sustainability in BIM (m/f/d)
Job Description
<p>neoBIM is a well-funded, fast-growing startup revolutionizing the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry. We build AI-powered Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that makes design smarter, faster, and more sustainable. Our platform covers the full building lifecycle — from early-stage design to handover and digital twin operation.</p>
<p>Sustainability and life cycle thinking are at the core of what we do. We are building the next generation of integrated LCA workflows directly inside BIM — and we need passionate people to help us get there. Join us and be part of something that matters.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<ul>
<li>Support and run Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for buildings, primarily for the German building and construction industry</li>
<li>Turn messy real-world data (materials, energy, emissions) into clear sustainability insights</li>
<li>Build scrappy, smart solutions to automate LCA workflows using AI and modern tools</li>
<li>Use LLMs and AI agents to speed up analysis, reporting, and internal processes</li>
<li>Ship quick prototypes using a vibe coding mindset — iterate fast, break things, and improve</li>
<li>Spot opportunities, challenge assumptions, and bring your own ideas to the table</li>
<li>Work closely with a small, driven team and have a real impact from day one</li>
<li>Communicate results clearly — whether it’s a quick dashboard or a sharp presentation</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>A master’s degree (or currently pursuing one) related to sustainable development of the built environment</li>
<li>Solid understanding of architectural design and LCA, and their impact on each other</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with AI / LLMs (prompting, APIs, and automations)</li>
<li>You can code (ideally Python) and like using it to solve real problems; without programming acumen, we cannot build anything</li>
<li>Comfortable with vibe coding — fast prototyping, AI-assisted development, figuring things out as you go</li>
<li>You’re independent: you don’t wait for instructions, you create direction</li>
<li>You think in systems, not tasks — and care about building scalable solutions</li>
<li>Bonus: experience with LCA tools (One Click LCA, GaBi, ecoinvent) or LCA of buildings</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<p>• Direct impact: your work shapes real product features used by architecture firms worldwide</p>
<p>• Steep learning curve — work alongside experienced engineers, sustainability experts, and product designers</p>
<p>• Flexible hours around your university schedule (up to 20 hrs/week)</p>
<p>• Fully remote — work from wherever you study and live</p>
<p>• Flat hierarchies and open culture — your ideas are heard and valued from day one</p>
<p>• Opportunity to grow with us — outstanding students may be offered a permanent position after graduation</p>
<p>• Fair compensation and a team that genuinely enjoys working together</p>
<p>Interested? We look forward to hearing from you!</p>
