What are the responsibilities and job description for the HVAC BIM Modeler / Detailer - REMOTE position at Vigilant BIM & Construction Consultants LLC.?
About the Position
Vigilant BIM & Construction Consultants, LLC is seeking experienced HVAC BIM Modelers / Detailers to join our growing BIM/VDC team.
This is a 100% remote position supporting complex construction projects throughout the United States, including semiconductor manufacturing facilities, mission-critical data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, and other large-scale industrial projects.
We are looking for experienced modelers who understand more than how to operate Revit. Successful candidates understand how HVAC systems are constructed and installed, can translate design information into coordinated and constructible models, and can identify and solve real-world installation and coordination challenges.
If you have strong HVAC detailing experience, understand construction, and take pride in producing accurate, constructible models, we want to talk with you.
Responsibilities
- Develop detailed 3D HVAC models using Autodesk Revit and Navisworks
- Model ductwork, mechanical equipment, and associated HVAC systems for construction and coordination.
- Develop coordinated, constructible routing based on contract documents, project requirements, and field conditions.
- Read and interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, equipment information, architectural drawings, and structural documents.
- Coordinate HVAC systems with plumbing, process piping, electrical, structural, architectural, and other building systems.
- Identify and resolve clashes, spatial conflicts, access issues, and constructability concerns.
- Participate in multidisciplinary BIM/VDC coordination meetings.
- Incorporate coordination changes, RFIs, design revisions, and field-driven changes into project models.
- Produce accurate construction and coordination deliverables from BIM models.
- Maintain model accuracy and comply with project-specific BIM standards and workflows.
- Manage assigned work and communicate progress, questions, and potential issues effectively within a remote team environment.
Required Qualifications
- Must reside within the United States.
- Professional experience performing HVAC BIM modeling or mechanical detailing for construction.
- Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Revit.
- Strong understanding of commercial and/or industrial HVAC systems.
- Working knowledge of HVAC construction methods, installation requirements, and sequencing.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical construction drawings, specifications, details, and equipment information.
- Experience with multidisciplinary BIM coordination and clash resolution.
- Understanding of constructability, equipment access, maintenance clearances, installation clearances, and trade coordination.
- Ability to independently develop practical routing solutions rather than simply reproduce design drawings.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to model quality.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively and remain accountable in a fully remote environment.
- Direct experience supporting U.S.-based construction projects.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with any of the following is highly desirable:
- Semiconductor manufacturing facilities
- Mission-critical data centers
- Advanced manufacturing facilities
- Cleanrooms
- Industrial construction
- Process and utility-intensive facilities
- High-purity environments
- Fabrication-level BIM modeling
- Autodesk Navisworks
- BIM coordination and clash resolution
- Large multidisciplinary construction projects
- Mechanical prefabrication and installation planning
- Field or mechanical trade experience
What We Offer
- 100% remote work
- Competitive compensation
- Long-term project opportunities
- Work on large, technically challenging construction projects
- Exposure to semiconductor, data center, advanced manufacturing, and industrial projects
- Professional development and career advancement opportunities
- A collaborative BIM/VDC team with a strong construction focus
About Vigilant
Vigilant BIM & Construction Consultants LLC provides BIM/VDC and construction support services for complex projects throughout the United States. Our teams work alongside contractors and project stakeholders to improve coordination, constructability, quality, and project execution.
We believe effective BIM requires more than software proficiency. Our work is grounded in understanding how systems are actually constructed in the field and using that knowledge to produce accurate, coordinated, and constructible models.
