Job summary

Giga Energy is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We combine an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof to move quickly and make an impact.

This role anchors below‑grade and outside the building line in a federated BIM model for foundations, pads, duct banks, grounding, and yard layout, collaborating with electrical, structural, and civil teams.

Qualifications

• Expert-level Autodesk Revit with 5–8 years’ experience including structural modeling, family creation, parametric content, worksharing, and shared coordinates.
• Experience modeling foundations, equipment pads, and anchor bolt layouts for heavy equipment.
• Experience modeling underground electrical raceway or duct banks—routing, encasement, spare capacity, manholes, and pull boxes.
• Industrial, energy, substation, or mission-critical background; commercial or residential Revit experience alone will not transfer.
• Able to read, link, and reconcile Civil 3D data into a Revit model.
• Working knowledge of NEC Article 300.5, NESC / IEEE 605, IEEE 80, ASCE 7, ACI 318, and AISC 360.
• Navisworks proficiency, including running clash tests and resolving interference in your own models.
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Model foundations, equipment pads, embeds, and anchor bolt setting plans for transformers, substations, switchgear, and other heavy equipment, coordinated against equipment general arrangement drawings.
• Model electrical duct banks and underground raceway — conduit arrangement, encasement, bend radii, spare capacity, manholes, and pull boxes.
• Model the grounding system — ground grids, rods, conductor routing, and connections to pads, structures, and fence lines.
• Model outdoor structures and equipment yard layout, including electrical clearances, phase spacing, and maintenance access.
• Take in Civil 3D surfaces, utility networks, and survey data and reconcile them into the federated model, including shared coordinates and georeferencing.
• Own the outdoor and underground models within the federated set and run underground clash cycles — duct bank against foundation, grounding against structure — resolving conflicts rather than just reporting them.
• Produce foundation plans, duct bank plans and sections, grounding plans, and yard layout drawings to Giga's CAD standards.
• Generate model‑based quantity takeoffs for concrete, reinforcement, steel, and conduit to support estimating and procurement.
• Build and maintain the parametric family library for repeatable outdoor and underground content — pads, duct bank sections, manholes, and bus supports.
