NOTE: This post is very old; we are no longer seeking SketchUp trainers.
Want to try your hand at being a SketchUp trainer for a year? We have several full-time (but temporary) trainer positions open in the U.S. While working with Google under a year-long contract, you'll see the country, train folks on SketchUp, and get paid for doing it. Ideal candidates are folks who love to show off their SketchUp skills publicly and love helping others. If you're an expert in SketchUp and have a professional background or education using SketchUp, please forward your resume to training@sketchup.com.
Update Training positions are no longer listed on the Google jobs website, so here's some more information about them:
Responsibilities:
- Weekly travel to training locations around the US
- Lead training classes of up to 10 students
- Learn and employ SketchUp training content and methods
- Provide all required feedback and expense reporting
- Other duties as assigned
- BA/BS degree
- Experience with SketchUp or other complex 3D or DTP design software
- Ability to communicate complex issues/concepts clearly and effectively.

Google has some real problems in the one-to-one contact department. That's what's gonna sink them trying to get enterprises to take them seriously. Business needs real tech support with live humans - not vague e-mail addresses that bounce suddenly with no explanation. YOu'll notice nobody from Google is responding to any of the questions here... that runs counter to "Web 2.0". If it were Dell or even Microsoft, someone would have sent you a "Tweet" a couple minutes after you asked the question. At Google, you email into a black hole and are expected to accept that as 'customer support'. It isn't.
Thank you for inquiring about our SketchUp trainer position. We currently do not have any openings. If you would like to send your resume to sharag@google.com we will keep it on file and review it when a position becomes available.
Hi, I´m Aníbal, from Córdoba, Argentina.
I have been using SketchUp for about 3 years and during 2008 I teach the basic concepts of SketchUp to my partners in my Architecture School (Universidad Blas Pascal).
In 2009 my CAD teacher offers me the possibility to teach in depth SU to other students in this University.
Maybe if you are looking for people beyond US, I´ll be glad to have a job like this.
Saludos
Aníbal
I too would appreciate access to the "Canadian Contact Lead" please.
I am a Qualified Facilitator trained and certified by "Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing".
Furthermore, I have worked with SketchUp for around 6 years and SoftPlan (CAD) for 15 years. I also come from a family of Teachers.
Is this position still available
I'm a graduate student of architecture at the University of Oregon. Graduating in June 2010.
I use SketchUp constantly - and already help my fellow students with the program.
Might be a great fit - but how do I apply? The email you have listed no longer is valid.
Thanks,
Aiden Humphrey
I have a possible project to hire someone to import models which we have generated of a large residential project in Rhino to Sketch up. The Rhino files are approximately 400 mb. Please email me if interested.
Cheers, Winick Architecture + Design barry@winickarchitects.com
