BIM Coordinator

BIM Coordinator - Electrical Contractor - On-site, Full-Time

Want to be part of a BIM team that’s actually busy? I’m partnering exclusively with a leading national electrical contractor to find a BIM Coordinator for their Chicago-area team.

The group is a tight-knit team of around seven, and they’re currently running roughly $500M in backlog across large-scale, mission critical and commercial work.

This is an on-site role for someone who wants to be embedded in a team, not working remotely. You’ll be based in the office and get out to project sites regularly, sometimes working from the project trailer alongside the field teams.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building, maintaining and updating electrical BIM models to project, company and client standards
• Coordinating with mechanical, plumbing, structural, architectural and low-voltage trades to find and resolve clashes
• Taking part in clash detection meetings and tracking coordination issues to close-out
• Producing model-based drawings, layouts and installation documents for the field
• Supporting prefabrication and modular construction with accurate model outputs
• Working with PMs, Superintendents, Foremen and Estimators to keep BIM deliverables aligned with scope and schedule
• Bringing RFIs, design revisions and as-builts into the model, and supporting model-based quantity take-offs

What we’re looking for:

• Over 3 years supporting BIM/VDC on construction projects, ideally with an electrical contractor
• Hands-on multi-trade coordination experience
• Proficiency in Revit (MEP preferred) and Navisworks Manage
• Solid understanding of construction drawings, electrical systems and means and methods
• Mission critical, data center or other large-scale project experience is a strong plus
• Electrical trade or field background, prefab experience, and AutoCAD/Bluebeam skills are all a bonus
• An associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or similar is preferred, but equivalent industry experience counts

Why this one:

• A high-backlog team with a strong pipeline of large projects
• A collaborative, office-based team where you’ll be fully part of the project process
• Exposure to prefab, modular and mission critical work
• A national contractor with a track record of year-over-year growth
