## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain conceptual and schematic BIM models for large-scale industrial and MEP-intensive facilities.
- Coordinate BIM models across Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, and Structural disciplines.
- Create and maintain federated models used for design reviews, spatial coordination, constructability analysis, and clash detection.
- Model major building systems including equipment layouts, utility corridors, electrical rooms, mechanical rooms, structural framing, site infrastructure, and architectural constraints.
- Coordinate equipment clearances, maintenance access, routing zones, shafts, risers, utility entrances, and major MEP pathways.
- Translate engineering sketches, basis-of-design documents, equipment lists, one-line diagrams, and planning documentation into coordinated BIM models.
- Support early design activities including test-fit studies, routing evaluations, phasing plans, utility coordination, and design option analysis.
- Maintain BIM standards including model organization, file naming conventions, worksets, shared coordinates, view templates, and model health.
- Support multidisciplinary coordination using Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Revizto, or similar collaboration platforms.
- Prepare model views, coordination packages, exports, and documentation for design reviews and stakeholder meetings.
- Support model-based quantity takeoffs, equipment tracking, asset information, room data, and design progress reporting.
- Review consultant and contractor BIM deliverables for quality, coordination, completeness, and compliance with project BIM standards.
- Help maintain digital design assets that support planning, design development, construction coordination, and operational handoff.

## Discipline Focus Areas
**Civil BIM Designer**
- Develop site models including grading concepts, access roads, utility corridors, stormwater systems, underground duct banks, and civil infrastructure.
- Coordinate civil infrastructure with building footprints, substations, generators, cooling equipment, underground utilities, and site constraints.
- Experience with Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Revit Site, and utility modeling is preferred.

**Electrical BIM Designer**
- Develop conceptual and schematic models for substations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, cable tray, busway, duct banks, grounding systems, and major power distribution infrastructure.
- Coordinate electrical equipment clearances, cable routing, service entrances, and access requirements with architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil disciplines.
- Experience with Revit Electrical, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and interpreting one-line diagrams is preferred.

**Mechanical BIM Designer**
- Develop models for mechanical equipment, chilled water systems, hydronic piping, airside systems, ductwork, pumps, chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, heat exchangers, tanks, and central utility plants.
- Coordinate mechanical routing, maintenance access, pipe racks, structural supports, overhead zones, and major penetrations.
- Experience with Revit Mechanical, Navisworks, and industrial piping and duct coordination is preferred.

**Architectural / Structural BIM Designer**
- Develop architectural and structural models including building shells, floor plans, slabs, structural steel, foundations, equipment pads, platforms, stairs, and access areas.
- Coordinate architectural and structural constraints with MEP systems, utility entrances, equipment placement, and code-required clearances.
- Experience with Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, AutoCAD, and Navisworks is preferred.

## Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of BIM modeling, BIM coordination, drafting, or design technology experience.
- Experience developing 3D models using Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Inventor, SolidWorks, or comparable BIM/CAD platforms.
- Experience supporting multidisciplinary coordination for complex industrial, infrastructure, or building projects.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, equipment layouts, design narratives, diagrams, and consultant deliverables.
- Strong understanding of BIM standards, model organization, file management, and coordination workflows.

## Preferred Skills
- Experience supporting large-scale industrial, data center, manufacturing, utility, or other mission-critical infrastructure projects.
- Experience developing conceptual and schematic design models in addition to construction documentation.
- Strong understanding of multidisciplinary MEP coordination, equipment clearances, routing zones, and constructability considerations.
- Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Navisworks, Revizto, Bluebeam, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Dynamo, Python, or Autodesk Platform Services.
- Experience supporting model automation, asset management, data extraction, quantity takeoffs, and design reporting.
- Experience coordinating with internal engineering organizations, external consultants, contractors, and owner representatives.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, and Structural engineering teams.
