Job description

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Assistant Manager - Revit is a working leader who divides time approximately equally between technical project support and personnel management. The role supports lead designers on active packaged-equipment and construction-documentation projects while supervising, coaching, and developing design/drafting personnel. The position provides hands‑on Revit expertise by creating and checking models and drawings, helping coordinate project design execution, reinforcing TAS standards and common architectures, and supporting engineering leadership in delivering safe, compliant, high‑quality work on schedule and within budget.

KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Support and Technical Execution (approximately 50%)

• Support lead designers on moderate to complex packaged-equipment and construction-documentation projects from turnover through release by assisting with design coordination, technical problem-solving, workload planning, and the quality and timeliness of assigned deliverables.


• Interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, specifications, site and equipment layouts, piping plans, general arrangement drawings, bills of materials, and customer design inputs.


• Create, modify, check, and approve Revit models and construction documents, including coordinated views, sheets, plans, sections, elevations, details, schedules, annotations, dimensions, callouts, and Revit families.


• Model and document structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, and controls systems while considering manufacturing constraints, installation access, maintenance clearances, constructability, applicable building codes, and recognized standards.


• Create and check project models and drawings as assigned, including views, sheets, plans, sections, elevations, details, schedules, dimensions, annotations, callouts and families; verify accuracy, completeness, coordination, constructability, and compliance before release.


• Assist lead designers with project drafting plans, labor estimates, production schedules, deliverable lists, model‑development requirements, resource needs, and progress tracking; communicate risks, scope changes, and forecast impacts to the lead designer and engineering leadership.


• Attend bid, kickoff/turnover, customer, vendor, project, coordination, and production meetings as requested to support the lead designer and coordinate design interfaces with engineering, project management, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, and other stakeholders.


• Identify and recommend practical, value‑engineered modeling and documentation solutions to the lead designer without compromising safety, quality, constructability, maintainability, or customer requirements.

Personnel Leadership and Department Support (approximately 50%)

• Provide day‑to‑day supervision, work assignment, prioritization, and workload balancing for assigned designers and drafters; monitor task completion, quality, and schedule performance.


• Participate in hiring, onboarding, training, performance evaluations, coaching, recognition, and performance remediation in partnership with Engineering Leadership and Human Resources.


• Establish clear expectations and provide frequent feedback; mentor employees in Revit, BIM and drafting practices, checking discipline, project execution, communication, and professional development.


• Support manpower planning, utilization forecasting, project staffing, ETC/EAC updates, KPI tracking, and reporting of individual and team performance, including efficiency and accuracy.


• Develop, improve, publish, and enforce design/drafting standards, checking procedures, templates, common architectures, Revit family and library practices, model‑management requirements, documentation standards, and configuration‑management controls.


• Help investigate and implement new technologies, hardware, software, cloud‑based collaboration tools, and streamlined procedures in coordination with management, IT, and vendors; organize technical training as needed.


• Serve as an escalation point for technical and personnel issues, resolving routine matters and elevating significant risks or decisions to Engineering Leadership.


• Reinforce a collaborative, accountable, customer‑focused culture and build effective working relationships within the department and across TAS.


• Travel to customer, vendor, or project sites as required and perform other responsibilities assigned by TAS.


• *Other TAS assigned duties.

JOB SKILLS

• Advanced, hands‑on Revit capability and the ability to independently deliver coordinated, production‑ready models and construction drawings with limited direction.


• Proven capability supporting lead designers and project teams in packaged equipment, industrial plant, data center, HVAC, piping, mechanical, structural, and multidisciplinary Revit design and documentation.


• Broad understanding of structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls system interfaces, including operation, maintenance, access, clearance, coordination, and constructability constraints.


• Advanced ability to read and interpret P&IDs, architectural and engineering drawings, specifications, redlines, and related project documents.


• Working knowledge of codes and standards applicable to TAS equipment and construction documentation, including NEC, IEC, ASME, ANSI, AISC, AWS, UMC, OSHA, building codes, and other project‑specific requirements.


• Strong project‑support skills, including labor estimating, task scheduling, resource coordination, model and drawing progress tracking, revision management, and change‑impact communication.


• Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, develop, and hold employees accountable while maintaining constructive working relationships.


• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and customer‑facing communication skills, along with strong technical writing and documentation abilities.


• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and related business software.
