• At least 3 years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
• Demonstrated ability to develop electrical system models and construction-ready drawings.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
• 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 read and interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and construction sequencing.
• Ability to produce accurate, coordinated models that field 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.
• Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed 3D electrical models, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
• Produce shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages.
• Perform clash detection and coordinate electrical systems with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection models.
• Review design documents and specifications to identify discrepancies, installation challenges, and missing information.
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and other trades to resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues.
• Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and field changes into project models.
• Coordinate with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and field crews to ensure models reflect actual site conditions and installation requirements.
• Develop models that support prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
• Provide updated drawings 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.
