Job description

We’re looking for a skilled BIM Modeler / Electrical Detailer to turn electrical design plans into accurate, coordinated 3D models and construction-ready drawings. This role supports commercial electrical projects by resolving design conflicts, developing prefabrication details, and ensuring field teams have the information they need for efficient installation.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain detailed 3D models of electrical systems, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
• Generate shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages for field use.
• Run clash detection and coordinate electrical layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Review design documents and technical specifications to catch inconsistencies, installation challenges, and missing information before construction.
• Work through BIM/VDC coordination issues with engineers, project managers, and other trades to develop workable solutions.
• Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design updates, and field changes into project models.
• Partner with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and installation crews to align model details with actual site conditions.
• Develop models that improve prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
• Provide drawing updates 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.

• 3+ years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related role.
• Required: Hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
• Demonstrated ability to model electrical systems and produce construction-ready drawings.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
• Working knowledge of electrical installation practices, conduit routing, cable trays, equipment layouts, supports, and penetrations.
• Experience with clash detection, BIM/VDC coordination, and multidisciplinary construction models.
• Ability to interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and construction sequencing.
• Ability to create accurate, coordinated models that crews can use directly for installation.
• Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• An associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline is preferred.

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Professional training and advancement opportunities
• Steady pipeline of commercial electrical projects
• Access to advanced BIM/VDC and prefabrication technologies
• Experience coordinating complex commercial construction projects
