About this role
We are seeking an experienced BIM Modeler/Detailer to develop accurate, coordinated 3D electrical models and construction-ready drawings for commercial electrical projects. This role focuses on BIM/VDC coordination, clash detection, and prefabrication detailing to improve constructability, streamline field installation, and support project efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
-
Develop and maintain detailed 3D electrical models, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
-
Produce shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages.
-
Perform clash detection and coordinate electrical systems with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection models.
-
Review design documents and specifications to identify discrepancies, installation challenges, and missing information.
-
Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and other trades to resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues.
-
Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and field changes into project models.
-
Coordinate with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and field crews to ensure models reflect actual site conditions and installation requirements.
-
Develop models that support prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
-
Provide updated drawings and technical modeling support throughout construction.
-
Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
-
Maintain drawing accuracy and ensure all deliverables comply with project standards and specifications.
-
