Technical Skills Proficient in Revit for MEP modeling, including family usage, systems modeling, and model management. Strong proficiency with Navisworks Manage, including clash detection, model review, and issue tracking. Ability to interpret contract drawings, mechanical specifications, shop drawings, and MEP documentation. Familiarity with fabrication focused workflows and model outputs (e.g., spooling, hanger layouts, equipment modeling). Experience working within common CDE platforms such as Autodesk BIM 360/ACC. Working knowledge of Bluebeam, coordination software, and standard BIM/VDC tools. Competence with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Teams). Coordination & Construction Knowledge Solid understanding of mechanical construction practices, field installation sequencing, and trade coordination requirements. Ability to identify clashes, propose solutions, and incorporate coordination decisions into models and drawings. Understanding LOD requirements, model organization, and file management best practices. Leadership & Team Collaboration Ability to provide technical guidance and mentorship to Detailers and Trainees. Demonstrated ability to lead small coordination tasks, manage portions of workflows, and support VDC project planning. Strong communication skills for collaborating with Project Managers, Field Operations, and other trades. Ability to work independently and proactively elevate issues or design conflicts. Quality, Organization & Professional Attributes Strong attention to detail with the ability to maintain accuracy and consistency across complex models.
