BIM Modeler/Detailer

AlphaX•Center Line, MI

About The Position

The BIM Modeler/Detailer turns electrical design plans into accurate, coordinated 3D models and construction-ready drawings for commercial electrical projects. The role supports design coordination, conflict resolution, prefabrication detailing, and delivery of information that field teams need for efficient installation. The position also provides technical modeling and drawing support throughout construction and prepares as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related role.
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.
Run clash detection and coordinate electrical layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
Review design documents and technical specifications to identify inconsistencies, installation challenges, and missing information before construction.
Work through BIM/VDC coordination issues with engineers, project managers, and other trades to develop workable solutions.
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 actual 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.
