VDC/BIM Coordinator

Bouma Corporation; Grand Rapids (MI); Sur place; USD 55 000 - 85 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Bouma Corporation seeks a VDC/BIM Technician to develop, coordinate, and maintain accurate 2D and 3D building models for traditional and prefabricated commercial construction from preconstruction through field execution.

The role models cold-formed metal framing, incorporates design changes and scans, and supports shop drawings, BOMs, and fabrication layouts. Team-oriented, you’ll ensure model accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project documents across the project life cycle.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of BIM modeling experience in commercial construction.
• Proficiency with CAD, Revit, and modeling software.
• Familiarity with cold-formed metal framing and related wall/ceiling components.
• Knowledge of commercial construction documents and engineered structural models.
• Ability to coordinate and communicate effectively during BIM coordination meetings.

Responsabilités

• Develop and maintain 3D models using Revit, CAD, and other software for conventional and prefabricated projects.
• Model cold-formed metal framing assemblies and integrated architectural finishes.
• Review modeled fabrication tickets for accuracy and constructability.
• Update models to reflect design changes from addenda and RFIs.
• Maintain model accuracy throughout project life cycle.
• Collaborate with team members, customers, and trade partners during BIM coordination.

Description du poste

The VDC/BIM Technician develops, coordinates, and maintains accurate 2D and 3D building models that support Bouma’s conventional and prefabricated commercial construction projects from preconstruction through field execution. This role models cold-formed metal framing and integrated architectural finishes; incorporates design changes and existing-condition scans; participates in BIM coordination and clash detection; and produces shop drawings, bills of materials, fabrication support information, and layouts for jobsite technology. Working both independently and collaboratively with internal teams, customers, trade partners, and external modeling partners, the technician helps ensure model accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project documents throughout the project life cycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D models using Revit, CAD, and other supporting software for conventional and prefabricated construction projects.
• Model cold-formed metal framing assemblies and integrated architectural finishes.
• Review modeled fabrication tickets produced by external partners for accuracy and constructability.
• Update models to reflect design changes resulting from project addenda and RFIs.
• Maintain model accuracy throughout the life cycle of each project.
• Collaborate with team members, customers, and trade partners throughout the BIM coordination process and related meetings.
• Lead clash detection coordination efforts within the assigned group of projects.
• Produce shop drawing packages for specialty interior and exterior architectural assemblies.
• Create bills of materials from models to support fabrication and field execution.
• Incorporate 3D scans of existing structures and conditions into BIM models.
• Produce preliminary 2D elevation and 3D conceptual drawings supporting the preconstruction phase of projects.
• Support modeling for robotic layout technology deployed on jobsites.

Required Skills, Experience, and Qualifications

• At least three years of BIM modeling experience in the commercial construction industry.
• Prior experience with CAD, Revit, and other modeling software.
• Familiarity with cold-formed metal framing and related wall and ceiling framing components.
• Familiarity with modeling software that supports metal-framing production roll formers is preferred.
• Knowledge and understanding of commercial construction documents, including engineered structural building models.
• Ability to coordinate and communicate effectively with project team members during BIM coordination meetings.
• Extensive knowledge of commercial interior construction and related trades is preferred.
• Prior experience with an architectural or engineering firm is preferred.
• Proficiency in using Excel spreadsheets to organize and analyze data and information.
• Ability to work independently and as part of multiple project teams.
