Electrical BIM Specialist, Data Centers - Remote (U.S.)
About The Position
AECOM is seeking an Electrical BIM (Digital Design) Specialist to support electrical engineering design and documentation through the development and coordination of Building Information Models (BIM) and construction drawings. The role requires strong Autodesk Revit, electrical drafting, and shop drawing skills, 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. The position is primarily remote and may be based in 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 opportunities for career mobility. Newly hired employees must attend in-person Day 1 onboarding at an AECOM office. Relocation and U.S. employment authorization sponsorship are not available.
