We are seeking a highly skilled Senior BIM Engineer to join a leading electrical contractor delivering complex, large-scale construction projects across the U.S.
This is a technical leadership role at the forefront of BIM/VDC delivery, focused on driving coordination, improving constructability, and integrating digital models directly with field execution.
đź”§ About the Role
You will lead advanced electrical BIM modelling and coordination, working across distribution systems, lighting, and controls on major projects. A key part of your role will be ensuring fully coordinated, clash-free, and buildable designs using industry-leading tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
You will also play a critical role in bridging the gap between design and construction—supporting prefabrication strategies, improving installation efficiency, and identifying constructability issues early in the project lifecycle.
📌 Key Responsibilities
- Lead BIM/VDC modelling and multi-trade coordination on large electrical projects
- Develop and manage detailed electrical models (power distribution, lighting, controls)
- Drive clash detection and resolution using Navisworks
- Support field teams with constructability input and installation sequencing
- Integrate BIM models with prefabrication and project execution strategies
- Mentor and develop junior BIM team members
- Ensure compliance with modelling standards and best practices
- Collaborate with Project Managers, Estimators, Engineers, and field teams
- Participate in client coordination meetings and design reviews
- Support value engineering and project optimisation initiatives
🎯 Requirements
- 5 years’ experience in BIM/VDC or electrical construction environments
- Strong proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks
- Solid understanding of NEC codes and field installation methods
- Proven experience leading coordination efforts and mentoring teams
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction, or equivalent experience
🌟 What’s on Offer
- Opportunity to work on large-scale, technically complex electrical projects
- Strong focus on innovation, BIM integration, and digital construction delivery
- Leadership role with real impact on project execution and efficiency
- Long-term career progression within a leading contractor
