The BIM Designer – MEP is responsible for developing, coordinating, and maintaining detailed Building Information Modeling (BIM) models for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems across commercial and industrial construction projects.

This position works closely with project managers, engineers, field leadership, and other trade partners to translate design documents and field requirements into accurate, constructible models. The BIM Designer plays an important role in identifying conflicts before installation, improving coordination between trades, supporting prefabrication and field operations, and ensuring project models and drawings accurately reflect design intent and construction requirements.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Develop detailed 3D BIM models for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems using Autodesk Revit and other applicable BIM software.

Model HVAC ductwork, hydronic and process piping, plumbing systems, electrical conduit, cable tray, equipment, and associated MEP components as required by project scope.

Review architectural, structural, civil, and MEP design documents to ensure models accurately reflect project requirements.

Perform multidisciplinary model coordination and clash detection using Autodesk Navisworks Manage.

Identify spatial conflicts, constructability concerns, routing challenges, and coordination issues before field installation.

Work collaboratively with project managers, engineers, superintendents, foremen, and other trade partners to develop practical solutions to coordination conflicts.

Participate in BIM/VDC coordination meetings and incorporate approved coordination changes into project models.

Generate coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, spool drawings, fabrication drawings, sections, details, schedules, and other construction documents from BIM models.

Incorporate field conditions, approved RFIs, submittals, design changes, and coordination decisions into project models and drawings.

Support prefabrication and field installation efforts by providing accurate layouts and model-based construction information.

Develop and maintain Revit families, templates, schedules, standard details, and other BIM content.

Maintain model accuracy, organization, file structure, naming conventions, and established company/project BIM standards.

Utilize Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360) and other collaboration platforms for model sharing, coordination, document management, and project communication.

Assist project teams with model-based quantity information and other BIM-related project needs when required.

Coordinate model updates throughout the construction process and assist with development of accurate record/as-built models and documentation.

Remain current on BIM technology, software updates, construction practices, and industry standards.

Perform other related duties as assigned.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
