About The Position

The Building Information Modeler leads intelligent modeling efforts on complex projects, translating engineering concepts into coordinated, high-quality models and design drawings. With high-level goals provided, the role leads teams in preparing intelligent models, detail drawings, and general arrangement drawings of moderate to high complexity, applying practical engineering knowledge to unusual, complex, or original designs. The position also acts as an Intelligent Modeling Coordinator throughout project lifecycles to support coordination among design teams and help ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality.

The role provides technical guidance to lower-level modeling personnel, reviews manufacturer and fabricator prints, determines material needs, performs calculations, and verifies intelligent model integrity. It also performs drawing crosschecks, provides conceptual input during planning, and supports or leads field assignments as required. Related engineering support includes plotting drawings, preparing transmittals and overnight packages, managing and filing project files and prints, distributing drawings, assisting with simple design calculations, coordinating specifications with drawings, and establishing design criteria for assigned project phases.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent with vocational technical training in basic CADD drafting technology and intelligent modeling.
• 15 years of related experience.
• Excellent communication skills and strict attention to detail.
• Ability to be a flexible team player and adapt to changing requirements.
• Software experience using Microsoft Office for design-related tasks.
• Advanced working knowledge of intelligent modeling/CADD drafting commands.
• Solid working knowledge of intelligent modeling technologies.
• Equivalent additional directly related experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.

Responsibilities

• Lead teams in preparing intelligent models, detail drawings, and general arrangement drawings for moderately to highly complex projects.
• Translate levels of design, drawings, and sketches into finished models and drawings, including unusual, complex, or original designs.
• Review manufacturers’ or fabricators’ prints to support design documents.
• Provide lower-level modeling personnel with design sketches, finished-drawing guidance, and help refining technical requirements.
• Determine material needs and perform necessary calculations using accepted formulas, references, and firm standards.
• Perform CADD and technical support tasks, including verifying intelligent model integrity.
• Act as Intelligent Modeling Coordinator during project lifecycles to coordinate with the design team.
• Crosscheck drawings for consistency, cross sections, section placement, layering guidelines, and compliance with firm quality-control standards.
• Provide conceptual input during project planning and support or lead field assignments as required.
• Perform related engineering support tasks, including plotting drawings, preparing transmittals and overnight packages, managing and filing project files and prints, distributing drawings, assisting with simple design calculations, and coordinating specifications with drawings.
• Establish design criteria for assigned project phases using basic engineering principles, material properties, and familiarity with construction, installation, and maintenance procedures.
• Perform other duties as required.

Benefits

• The company describes an employee experience with career growth and development, an inclusive work environment, and support for employees and their families.
