Electrical BIM Designer

The Electrical BIM Designer supports complex industrial and commercial construction projects by creating, maintaining, and coordinating detailed 3D electrical models. This role requires strong proficiency in Revit, experience with LOD 350–400 electrical work, and a solid background in electrical design and trades. The designer ensures model accuracy, supports BIM and VDC processes, and provides remote coordination to assist field operations and project teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain accurate 3D electrical models in Revit that comply with project requirements, industry standards, and LOD 350–400 expectations.
• Coordinate electrical models with other disciplines by collaborating closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and MEP teams to ensure consistent, integrated designs.
• Perform clash detection using BIM coordination tools to identify and resolve conflicts between electrical systems and other building systems.
• Work with Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) teams to produce clash-free designs and ensure constructible, coordinated models.
• Provide remote coordination and support to field operations by integrating 3D scans and field data into project models and addressing field-related modeling needs.
• Prepare and manage technical documentation, including drawings, schedules, sleeve drawings, embedded field points, and coordinated shop drawings.
• Ensure the accuracy, quality, and completeness of all models and documentation while adhering to project standards, timelines, and deliverable requirements.
• Support and enhance BIM and VDC workflows by applying best practices and ensuring consistent use of modeling standards across projects.
• Stay current with advancements in BIM, VDC, and related technologies, and apply new tools and methods to improve modeling efficiency and project outcomes.
• Utilize digital collaboration and coordination tools to enhance communication, streamline review processes, and improve model accessibility for project stakeholders.

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in VDC/BIM modeling, preferably supporting electrical systems on construction projects.
• Strong proficiency in Revit (rated 8/10), with the ability to create, manage, and coordinate detailed 3D electrical models.
• Hands-on experience with LOD 350–400 electrical modeling and documentation.
• Experience performing electrical design, including conduit routing, cable tray layouts, and related electrical systems.
• Familiarity with BIM coordination and clash detection tools, with the ability to identify and resolve model conflicts.
• Proficiency in preparing sleeve drawings, embedded field points, and coordinating shop drawings for construction teams.
• Experience working on industrial or commercial construction projects within a BIM/VDC environment.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and general design and construction documentation workflows.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to model accuracy, quality, and consistency.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a remote environment and communicate technical information clearly.

• Experience in electrical trades or field installation environments is preferred and considered a strong asset.
• Experience working within dedicated VDC design teams or organizations focused on virtual design and construction.
• Comfort using digital collaboration platforms and coordination tools to share models, track issues, and support distributed teams.
• Ability to adapt to evolving BIM and VDC technologies and incorporate new tools and workflows into daily practice.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and project requirements in a remote setting.

This is a fully remote position supporting large-scale industrial and commercial construction projects. The standard work schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You will work primarily with Revit, BIM/VDC platforms, clash detection tools, and AutoCAD in a digital, collaborative environment. The role involves close coordination with architects, engineers, contractors, and MEP teams through online meetings and shared models. The organization is dedicated to VDC design, offering the opportunity to focus on advanced modeling, coordination, and innovation in a technology-driven setting.
