BIM Project Specialist | Plumbing Engineering

Job Description

Job Description

As a BIM Project Specialist, you will be responsible for supporting the design, coordination, and execution of Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes specifically for plumbing systems. You will work closely with engineers and designers to develop detailed Revit models, ensuring that mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are accurately represented and well-coordinated within the project. Your role will contribute to enhancing project efficiency, collaboration, and overall quality.

As part of EUA, a fully integrated architecture and engineering firm, BIM coordination is crucial in facilitating seamless collaboration across disciplines. Our holistic approach to design requires accurate and efficient coordination between HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural, and architectural systems, ensuring that all elements of a project are aligned from concept through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Plumbing Modeling: Create, manage, and maintain detailed Revit models for plumbing systems, from design development through to detailed documentation. Ensure that all models comply with industry standards and project specifications.
• BIM Coordination for MEP: Lead coordination efforts between plumbing systems with other building systems. Facilitate and lead coordination and clash detection meetings with internal teams and external consultants using tools such as Navisworks and ACC BIM360. Ensure timely resolution of clashes and conflicts by working closely with all project stakeholders to deliver coordinated, conflict-free designs.
• Design Support: Assist in the virtual design and layout of plumbing systems, providing support for system sizing, routing, and space management.
• Standards and Quality Control: Ensure adherence to BIM execution plans (BEP), managing project-specific BIM standards for plumbing systems. Perform regular quality control checks on models to maintain accuracy and alignment with project goals.
• Knowledge of EUA Standards: Ensure all plumbing models adhere to EUA's internal standards and best practices, maintaining consistency, sustainability, and accuracy across all projects. Your work will reflect EUA’s commitment to high-quality, integrated design and engineering excellence.
• Training and Support: Provide technical support to engineers and designers on Revit and BIM processes related to plumbing systems. Conduct training sessions on best practices and advanced features in Revit.
• Data Management: Manage and organize all plumbing data within the BIM model, ensuring accurate data exchange between different teams and disciplines. Assist in integrating BIM models with project management and analysis software.

Key Outcomes

• Accurate and Coordinated MEP Models: Ensure that plumbing Revit models are fully coordinated with other building systems, free from significant clashes, and meet project requirements.
• Improved System Design: Provide accurate and efficient design and coordination of plumbing systems, ensuring optimal performance, space utilization, and ease of installation.
• Effective Coordination and Clash Resolution: Lead coordination and clash detection meetings, ensuring that all design conflicts are identified early and resolved efficiently. Streamline interdisciplinary collaboration to minimize delays and enhance project delivery.
• Optimized BIM Processes: Continuously refine and optimize EUA’s BIM processes for plumbing systems, contributing to improved project timelines and quality outcomes.
• Data Integrity and Accessibility: Maintain high standards for data integrity throughout the project, ensuring accurate plumbing information is accessible to all stakeholders.

Qualifications and Skills

• Two- or four-year degree in Architectural Technology or Engineering Technology
• Unlicensed / May pursue designer certification. CPDT preferred but not required.
• 5-10+ years of experience with Revit and BIM tools in a plumbing context.
• Proficiency with Navisworks, Revit, Dynamo, and other relevant BIM software.
• Experience leading coordination meetings, performing clash detection, and resolving design conflicts.
• Knowledge of plumbing design principles, codes, and standards.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work within multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to mentor others on BIM/VDC processes related to plumbing.
• Has a proactive approach to projects and problem solving and can self-direct project work, tasks, and process improvements.
• Assists in on-site observation and documentation.
• Pay range for this position is $70,000 to $95,000 depending on experience
