This individual will play a key role in the development of mechanical system designs for mission‑critical facilities, supporting projects from conceptual planning through construction documentation. The ideal candidate is highly proficient in Revit‑based design, understands data center mechanical systems, and excels in a collaborative, fast‑paced project environment.

As a Senior Mechanical Revit Technician, you will work closely with mechanical engineers, project managers, and multi‑disciplinary teams to develop coordinated, constructable, and high‑quality design solutions while helping mentor and develop less experienced staff.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Revit/BIM models for complex mechanical systems on data center and mission‑critical projects.
• Prepare detailed design and construction documents for HVAC, chilled water, condenser water, and hydronic piping systems.
• Support the development of Basis of Design (BOD) documents, system narratives, and design criteria packages.
• Create mechanical floor plans, equipment layouts, sections, details, and piping/ductwork routing drawings.
• Assist with system sizing, equipment selection, and layout development based on engineering direction.
• Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection disciplines.
• Participate in model coordination reviews utilizing Navisworks, Revizto, and BIM collaboration workflows.
• Identify and resolve interdisciplinary clashes and constructability concerns during design development.
• Support quality assurance and quality control reviews to ensure compliance with Jacobs standards and client requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior designers and BIM staff.
• Assist project teams during construction administration by supporting RFIs, submittal reviews, and design clarifications as required.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts, including development of standards, details, and BIM best practices.
