About The Position

The Electrical BIM/VDC Specialist II is an intermediate-level position responsible for independently producing electrical BIM/VDC models, coordination, detailing, and project documentation for electrical construction projects. The role takes ownership of assigned electrical systems and project areas, coordination issues, installation documentation, constructability, and field support with limited supervision. The specialist may provide technical guidance to less-experienced personnel and lead BIM/VDC execution for smaller projects or defined scopes under BIM/VDC management oversight. The position reports to the BIM/VDC Manager.

Ace Electric performs electrical installations across commercial, mission-critical, education, healthcare, institutional, industrial, correctional, hospitality, military, and retail markets, among others. Its services include fabrication, hard bid, design-build, negotiated contracts, and fee-based work. Ace offers access to Ace University, including apprenticeship, leadership training, and skill-building classes.

The role develops and maintains electrical models and construction documents from design through construction and record-document phases; coordinates systems and constructability; supports prefabrication and field installation; maintains accurate, organized project models and documentation; and provides technical guidance and project communication within assigned scopes. Other duties may be assigned.

• Participate in multidisciplinary coordination and resolve routine clash, routing, and constructability issues within assigned scope.
• Run or assist with clash detection, prepare coordination reports, track assigned issues, and communicate design or constructability concerns to the project team.
• Evaluate equipment clearances, raceway spacing, power and telecommunications separation, manufacturer requirements, supports, penetrations, installation access, and construction sequencing.
• Recognize issues involving code, engineering, or design intent and escalate them to appropriate BIM leadership, the designer, engineer, or project authority.
• Participate in BIM setup, standards, model orientation, geo-positioning, and coordination workflows as assigned.
• Develop model-based support and hanger layouts, racks, spools, assemblies, tagging, schedules, fabrication information, and installation details as assigned.
• Support field personnel with model-based clarification, layout, routing, installation information, and constructability coordination.
• Incorporate verified field conditions, redlines, and available scan or point-cloud information into coordinated project documentation and as-built updates.
• Support model-based material schedules, quantities, fabrication information, and project turnover requirements.
• Perform self-checks and peer-level reviews for model accuracy, constructability, data consistency, documentation quality, and standards compliance.
• Maintain organized models and project files suitable for coordination, fabrication, construction, and field use.
• Maintain and publish assigned BIM/VDC models, views, drawings, and project documentation using established ACC/BIM 360 sharing and revision-control procedures.
• Identify and proactively resolve model inconsistencies and documentation conflicts within assigned scope.
