Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
Experience with clash detection and BIM coordination, including identifying, reviewing, and resolving clashes within the assigned project scope.
Knowledge of Revit views, sheets, families, links, worksets, shared coordinates, parameters, and model organization.
Knowledge of AutoCAD layers, blocks, XREFs, layouts, annotation, and plotting.
Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, MEP, and other construction documentation relevant to the assigned scope.
Experience supporting active construction or technology projects and producing customer-facing drawing packages.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple assignments and priorities simultaneously.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
Fundamental computer proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications.
Ability to travel 10–20%.
Ability to participate in BIM coordination meetings across North American time zones as project needs require.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, Revizto, Bluebeam Revu, Revit family creation, model federation, and shared-coordinate workflows.
Experience or familiarity with data centers, MEP modeling, structured cabling, telecommunications, security, audiovisual, or other technology infrastructure.
Experience with data center infrastructure, including equipment racks, cabinets, network infrastructure, cable pathways, conduit routing, and overhead/underfloor infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Develop, modify, and maintain Autodesk Revit models and AutoCAD drawings for technology and low-voltage systems using customer information, project requirements, sketches, markups, redlines, PDFs, and existing documentation.
Model project-specific technology infrastructure, including equipment, devices, racks, cabinets, cable tray, conduit, pathways, telecommunications infrastructure, and other elements within the assigned project scope.
Maintain model accuracy and Level of Development (LOD 300 to LOD 500) according to contractual and project requirements.
Perform BIM coordination and clash detection by identifying, reviewing, coordinating, and resolving clashes within the assigned scope.
Participate in BIM coordination meetings as required to support real-time review and resolution of coordination issues.
Coordinate BIM model content with architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and other trade models, and review federated models for coordination concerns affecting the assigned scope.
Maintain Revit model organization, including families, views, sheets, links, worksets, shared coordinates, parameters, naming conventions, and applicable project standards.
Create and revise technology drawing packages, which may include floor plans, telecommunications layouts, equipment layouts, pathway and infrastructure drawings, rack and equipment elevations, enlarged plans, details, schedules, riser diagrams, and schematics as defined by project scope.
Maintain AutoCAD drawing standards, including layers, blocks, external references, title blocks, sheet numbering, annotation standards, plotting requirements, and file organization.
Support drawing and model updates throughout project revisions, construction changes, and closeout, including record and as-built documentation based on verified information.
Use BIM and coordination platforms including Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, and Revizto as required by the project or customer.
Evaluate assigned BIM coordination issues to identify modeling or drafting requirements, missing project information, or issues requiring coordination with another discipline.
Track assigned issues through resolution and update models after technical direction has been provided.
Work with internal project teams, sales, customers, contractors, consultants, and other stakeholders to deliver project materials that meet customer timelines and expectations.
Support multiple project assignments and priorities while maintaining drawing and model accuracy, quality, and established CAD/BIM standards.
