• Hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
• Demonstrated ability to model electrical systems and produce construction-ready drawings.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
• Working 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 create accurate, coordinated models that crews can use directly for installation.
• Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

Nice To Haves

• Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience.
• An associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain detailed 3D models of electrical systems, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
• Generate shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages for field use.

• Review design documents and technical specifications for inconsistencies, installation challenges, and missing information before construction.
• Resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues with engineers, project managers, and other trades.
• Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design updates, and field changes into project models.
• Partner with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and installation crews to align model details with site conditions.
• Develop models that improve prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
• Provide drawing updates and technical modeling support throughout construction.
• Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
• Maintain drawing accuracy and ensure deliverables comply with project standards and specifications.

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.
