BIM Specialist - Structured Cable (Data Center)
About The Position
The BIM Specialist supports the design and delivery of low-voltage technology systems, particularly structured cabling, for data center projects. The role develops high-quality 2D and 3D BIM models and construction drawings, coordinates with project teams, maintains BIM standards, and supports multiple projects from design through construction. The specialist designs and models structured cabling, security, audio visual, distributed antenna (DAS), outside plant infrastructure, and other low-voltage systems. The position also contributes to BIM coordination, project documentation, standards and workflow development, customer proposal renderings, electronic takeoffs, and traditional 2D CAD drafting as needed. The role involves managing multiple projects, keeping technical knowledge current, and collaborating with colleagues, including providing support to junior designers when opportunities arise.
