We’re seeking an experienced BIM Modeler/Detailer to develop accurate, coordinated 3D electrical models and construction-ready drawings for commercial electrical projects. This role focuses on BIM/VDC coordination, clash detection, and prefabrication detailing to support efficient field installation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain detailed 3D models of electrical systems, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
- Produce shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages.
- Perform clash detection and coordinate electrical layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
- Review design documents and specifications to identify discrepancies, installation challenges, and missing information.
- Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and other trades to resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues.
- Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and field changes into project models.
- Coordinate with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and field crews to ensure models reflect actual site conditions.
- Develop models that support prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
- Provide updated drawings and technical modeling support throughout construction.
- Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
- Maintain drawing accuracy and ensure all deliverables meet project standards and specifications.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related field.
- Required: Hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
- Proven ability to develop electrical system models and construction-ready drawings.
- Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
- Knowledge of electrical installation practices, conduit routing, cable trays, equipment layouts, supports, and penetrations.
- Experience with clash detection, BIM/VDC coordination, and multidisciplinary construction models.
- Ability to interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
- Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and construction sequencing.
- Ability to produce accurate, coordinated models that crews can use directly for installation.
- Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience preferred.
- Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline preferred.
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Paid time off and company holidays.
- Professional training and advancement opportunities.
- Steady pipeline of commercial electrical projects.
- Access to advanced BIM/VDC and prefabrication technologies.
- Exposure to complex commercial construction projects.
- Collaborative team environment.
- Long-term career development opportunities.
