About The Position

The BIM Specialist is a technical support professional for Wesco Global Solutions, supporting technology projects through Building Information Modeling (BIM), CAD drafting, drawing development, and multidisciplinary coordination. The role develops and maintains accurate project models and documentation for technology and low-voltage systems, working with internal teams, customers, contractors, consultants, and other project stakeholders.

The BIM Specialist supports projects through design coordination, construction, revisions, and closeout while following established project, customer, and BIM/CAD standards. The work includes developing Autodesk Revit models and AutoCAD drawings, modeling technology infrastructure, coordinating models and resolving clashes, preparing drawing packages, updating documentation, and supporting multiple project assignments. Travel of 10–20% may be required, and the role may participate in BIM coordination meetings across North American time zones as project needs require.

Requirements

• Associate's Degree (U.S.)/College Diploma (Canada) in Architectural Technology, Engineering Technology, CAD/Drafting Technology, Building Information Modeling, Construction Technology, Electrical Technology, Telecommunications, or a related technical discipline, or commensurate years of technical CAD/BIM experience.
• 3+ years of professional Autodesk Revit/BIM experience.
• 3+ years of professional Autodesk AutoCAD experience.
• Strong proficiency in 2D drafting and 3D BIM modeling, including creation, modification, and maintenance of project drawings and models.
• 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 and ability to work independently while collaborating 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 technology infrastructure such as equipment, devices, racks, cabinets, cable tray, conduit, pathways, and telecommunications infrastructure within the assigned project scope.
• Maintain model accuracy and LOD 300 to LOD 500 according to contractual and project requirements.
• Perform BIM coordination and clash detection; identify, review, coordinate, and resolve clashes within the assigned scope, and participate in BIM coordination meetings as required.
• 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 project standards.
• Create and revise technology drawing packages, potentially including floor plans, telecommunications and equipment layouts, pathway and infrastructure drawings, rack and equipment elevations, enlarged plans, details, schedules, riser diagrams, and schematics.
• Maintain AutoCAD drawing standards, including layers, blocks, external references, title blocks, sheet numbering, annotations, plotting requirements, and file organization.
• Update drawings and models through project revisions, construction changes, and closeout, including creating record and as-built documentation from verified information.
• Use BIM and coordination platforms such as 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 issues through resolution and update models after technical direction is provided.
• Work with internal project teams, sales, customers, contractors, consultants, and other stakeholders to deliver project work that meets customer timelines and expectations.
• Support multiple project assignments and priorities while maintaining drawing and model accuracy, quality, and established CAD/BIM standards.
