BIM Modeler

Full-time

John Burns

We are seeking a detail-oriented BIM Modeler to develop and coordinate Revit models for electrical infrastructure and process-piping systems. Electrical work will primarily support civil construction, including underground duct banks, conduit systems, manholes, handholes, equipment pads, and associated site infrastructure. Process-piping work will include pipe routing, fittings, valves, equipment connections, supports, and multidisciplinary coordination.

The ideal candidate has strong Revit modeling skills, understands construction practices, and can translate engineering documents, survey information, and field conditions into accurate, constructible models and installation drawings.

We’re looking for you to do the following:

  • Develop, maintain, and update electrical and process-piping models primarily in Autodesk Revit.
  • Model underground electrical duct banks, conduits, sweeps, manholes, handholes, trenches, equipment pads, and related infrastructure.
  • Model process-piping systems, including pipe routing, fittings, valves, equipment connections, and supports.
  • Produce coordinated plans, profiles, sections, elevations, details, schedules, and installation drawings.
  • Create and modify Revit families and model components as needed.
  • Incorporate engineering drawings, specifications, survey data, civil surfaces, utility information, and field-verified conditions into project models.
  • Coordinate electrical and piping systems with grading, drainage, utilities, structures, equipment, and other building or site systems.
  • Use Navisworks to perform model review, clash detection, and multidisciplinary coordination.
  • Prepare coordinated model information and layout points for use by field personnel.
  • Assist with model-based quantity takeoffs, material planning, and prefabrication activities.
  • Update models and drawings based on design revisions, RFIs, coordination decisions, field redlines, and as-built conditions.
  • Work closely with project managers, engineers, surveyors, field supervisors, and trade partners to resolve coordination issues.
  • Participate in BIM coordination meetings and clearly communicate model-related questions and conflicts.
  • Maintain project file organization, model accuracy, naming conventions, and company BIM standards.

You Have:

  • Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including 3D modeling, views, sheets, schedules, worksets, and family use.
  • BIM or VDC experience involving electrical systems, process piping, industrial construction, civil infrastructure, or related work.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical, piping, civil, structural, mechanical, and equipment drawings.
  • Understanding of construction sequencing, system clearances, spatial coordination, and field constructability.
  • Ability to produce accurate, construction-ready plans, sections, details, and installation drawings.
  • Strong attention to detail, organization, and document-control practices.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate with office and field teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience modeling both electrical infrastructure and process-piping systems.
  • Experience with underground duct banks, conduit routing, utility structures, and site electrical installations.
  • Experience with process-piping layout, valves, equipment connections, pipe supports, and industrial systems.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD.
  • Experience with Civil 3D, including surfaces, alignments, profiles, feature lines, and utility workflows.
  • Familiarity with Autodesk Forma.
  • Experience using Navisworks for clash detection and model coordination.
  • Familiarity with Trimble FieldLink or similar construction-layout software.
  • Experience preparing layout points, linework, or model information for robotic total stations.
  • Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, or similar collaboration platforms.
  • Knowledge of survey control, coordinate systems, shared coordinates, and as-built documentation.
  • Experience working for an electrical, civil, mechanical, utility, or industrial contractor.

Education and Experience:

  • Associate degree, technical certificate, or equivalent experience in BIM, CAD, construction technology, engineering technology, surveying, or a related field.
  • Two or more years of relevant Revit and BIM experience preferred.
  • Equivalent construction, fabrication, or field-layout experience will be considered.

Success in This Role:

The successful candidate will create accurate, coordinated, and construction-ready models that improve communication between engineering, project management, fabrication, and field teams. They will use BIM as a practical construction tool to identify conflicts, support layout and installation, improve material planning, and accurately document completed work.
