Job description

Job Description

You are comfortable working with large industrial models containing equipment, ductwork, piping, structural systems, electrical systems and architecture simultaneously.

You understand that an industrial BIM model isn't finished simply because everything fits on screen.

You naturally ask:

• Can it be installed?
• Can it be maintained?
• Can someone safely access it?
• Can the ductwork actually be supported?
• Does the equipment have enough clearance?
• Can vehicles move through the facility?
• Are the trades going to collide during construction?
• Is this the simplest practical way to build it?

The Industrial Revit Designer is responsible for developing and coordinating detailed multidisciplinary BIM models and construction documentation for industrial infrastructure projects. This is not primarily an architectural drafting position.

The successful candidate will work at the intersection of industrial equipment, buildings, mechanical systems, electrical systems and construction, translating engineering requirements and equipment designs into coordinated, buildable facility models.

You will work closely with engineers, project managers, equipment specialists, customers, consultants and subcontractors throughout the design and construction lifecycle.

The role requires someone who can understand complex industrial systems, identify conflicts early and take ownership of developing practical design solutions.

Key Responsibilities

3D Modeling & Construction Documentation

• Create, develop and maintain complex multidisciplinary models using Autodesk Revit
• Produce construction-quality: o Floor planso Equipment layoutso Sectionso Elevationso Detailso Installation drawingso Construction documentation
• Develop models from concept design through detailed engineering, fabrication and construction
• Maintain model accuracy as engineering and field conditions evolve
• Develop clear, practical documentation that can be effectively used by construction and installation teams

Industrial Systems Integration

Integrate equipment and facility systems including:

• Industrial ventilation systems
• Large-scale ductwork
• Dust collectors
• Blast equipment
• Paint and coating systems
• Compressed-air systems
• Piping
• Material-handling systems
• Electrical equipment
• Lighting systems
• Controls equipment
• Structural and architectural interfaces

Interpret and incorporate information from:

• P&IDs
• Equipment drawings
• Vendor documentation
• Engineering calculations
• Electrical drawings
• Mechanical designs
• Architectural and structural models

BIM & Multidiscipline Coordination

• Coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and process systems within the overall facility model
• Work with engineers and subcontractors to integrate multiple disciplines into a coordinated design
• Use Navisworks and other coordination tools to identify and resolve clashes
• Participate in design and constructability reviews
• Coordinate models through Autodesk Construction Cloud
• Manage design inputs from external engineering consultants and trade partners
• Identify missing information, inconsistencies and potential design conflicts before they impact construction

Industrial Layout & Constructability

Develop layouts that account for real-world operational requirements including:

• Equipment access and removal
• Maintenance clearances
• Operator access
• Building egress
• Vehicle travel paths
• Forklift and mobile-equipment movement
• Structural interfaces
• Ductwork and piping routing
• Service access
• Construction sequencing
• Installation access

Equipment Model Integration

• Import and coordinate equipment models from SolidWorks, Inventor and other 3D platforms
• Simplify and convert equipment models where required for effective BIM integration
• Maintain appropriate model detail and performance
• Position equipment accurately based on engineering and operational requirements

Design Development & Problem Solving

• Support projects from early concept through construction and commissioning
• Work with engineers and project teams to solve technical and spatial design challenges
• Respond to field conditions and construction RFIs
• Incorporate approved design changes into project models and documentation
• Support installation teams with drawings, model views and technical information
• Help continuously improve BIM standards, Revit families, templates and design processes

Visualization

• Produce clear 3D views, renderings and visualizations for: o Internal design reviews o Customer presentations o Constructability reviews o Installation planning o Project coordination

Skills and Requirements

Software

Advanced capability in:

• Autodesk Revit 2024
• Atleast 5 years
• Navisworks
