Electrical BIM Specialist, Data Centers - Remote (U.S.)

AECOM•Arlington, VA

6h•$75,000 - $110,000•Remote

About The Position

AECOM is seeking an Electrical BIM (Digital Design) Specialist to support electrical engineering design and documentation by developing and coordinating Building Information Models (BIM) and construction drawings. The role requires proficiency in Autodesk Revit, electrical drafting, and shop drawing development, including translating engineering markups and redlines into accurate, coordinated construction documents. The specialist works independently under the direction of electrical engineers and collaborates with multidisciplinary project teams. This is a primarily remote position that may be based from a variety of U.S. locations where AECOM has an office. Occasional, advance-scheduled travel may be required for client meetings, key project milestones, onsite collaboration, or other business-critical activities. The role supports high-profile, fast-paced data center projects for global clients and is hands-on and client-facing, with an opportunity for upward career mobility. AECOM requires newly hired employees to attend an in-person Day 1 onboarding at an AECOM office. Relocation and U.S. employment authorization sponsorship are not available.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and 2 years of relevant experience; associate’s degree and 4 years of relevant experience; or high school diploma/GED and 6 years of relevant experience; or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.
Demonstrated proficiency in Autodesk Revit and relevant BIM/CAD tools used for electrical engineering design and building systems applications.
Experience with electrical drafting, construction documentation, and shop drawings.
Ability to develop electrical plans, sections, schedules, and details from engineering markups, redlines, and design direction.
Experience with BIM model coordination, clash detection, and identification of interferences between building systems.
Ability to interpret electrical engineering drawings and technical documentation and apply engineering direction to assigned modeling and drafting tasks.
Ability to work independently, manage assigned deliverables, and collaborate effectively with engineers and multidisciplinary project teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting data center, mission-critical, or other technically complex building projects.
Experience working for a general contractor, electrical contractor, or other construction-focused organization.
Familiarity with electrical construction methods, installation requirements, constructability reviews, and field coordination.
Experience coordinating electrical power distribution, equipment layouts, conduit routing, and cable tray systems within multidisciplinary BIM environments.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain electrical BIM models and construction documentation using Autodesk Revit and other applicable BIM/CAD software.
Prepare electrical plans, sections, schedules, details, and related drawings based on engineering markups, redlines, design documents, and technical direction.
Develop and review electrical shop drawings and detailed construction documents to support project execution.
Model and document electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, grounding, electrical equipment, conduit routing, and cable tray systems, as applicable.
Coordinate models with mechanical, structural, architectural, and plumbing disciplines.
Identify, document, and assist in resolving model clashes, interferences, and constructability issues.
Interpret engineering design intent and translate technical information into accurate, coordinated BIM models and drawings.
Complete assigned drafting and modeling tasks independently and collaborate with electrical engineers and project team members to resolve technical questions.
Maintain model accuracy and drawing quality, and comply with project standards, BIM protocols, and documentation requirements.
Support project teams through design and construction documentation, incorporating revisions and updates as required.
