You will produce accurate shop drawings and fabrication-ready models, perform clash detection, and collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, and field teams to ensure clash-free, constructible designs. This role bridges office planning and on-site execution and offers the opportunity to mentor less experienced BIM team members while contributing to continuous improvement of BIM standards and workflows.

Duties And Responsibilities

• Develop detailed 3D models of plumbing systems from engineered drawings with minimal supervision using Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and related tools.
• Produce shop drawings, spool drawings, and fabrication-ready models to support prefabrication and field installation.
• Perform clash detection and interference checks; generate reports and collaborate with project teams to resolve spatial conflicts before construction.
• Participate in real-time coordination meetings and maintain clear project documentation on company servers or client platforms (Bluebeam, Procore, etc.).
• Support field teams by providing digital construction layouts for tools such as Trimble robotic total stations and mobile applications.
• Adhere to and help develop company BIM standards, workflows, and templates; contribute to continuous process improvement.
• Assist engineers and estimators with conceptual designs, cost estimates, and design-build deliverables as needed.
• Mentor and support less experienced BIM Designers, sharing knowledge and best practices.
• Report to the BIM Manager and collaborate effectively across design, project management, and field teams.

Supervisory Responsibilities

May provide informal mentoring and guidance to less experienced BIM Designers. No formal direct reports.
