What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Virtual Designer position at Power Design?
About The Position
As a Mechanical Virtual Designer at Power Design, you’ll play a key role in bringing HVAC systems to life through detailed BIM modeling and construction documentation. Partnering closely with VDC leaders, project teams, and field operations, you’ll develop coordinated, constructible models that drive efficient project execution.
In this role, you’ll focus on mechanical system design and coordination—leveraging technology to identify clashes, optimize layouts, and ensure our projects are delivered with precision and quality. If you’re detail-oriented, technically strong, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is an opportunity to make a direct impact on how our projects are built.
Position Responsibilities
