Essential Duties

BIM Modeling and Drafting

• Build and maintain Revit BIM models for mechanical and plumbing systems based on contract documents, specifications, submittals, and internal standards.
• Produce shop drawings, spool sheets, layout drawings, and fabrication or installation details suitable for in‑house shop and field use.
• Develop and revise drawings for RFIs, ASIs, bulletins, and change orders, and incorporate coordination updates as the project evolves.
• Create and manage families, parameters, view templates, sheets, legends, and annotation standards as needed to keep deliverables clean and consistent.

Coordination and Clash Avoidance

• Support model coordination using Navisworks (or similar) for clash detection and constructability review.
• Identify conflicts early and resolve them through model adjustments or clear coordination notes, escalating only when necessary.
• Maintain coordination quality across trades by aligning modeling to agreed elevation strategies, access clearances, and install sequencing.

Project Support Field and Shop

• Provide dimensioned layouts, penetration and sleeve coordination drawings, and install‑ready details to support field execution.
• Create prefab or spool packages that are cut‑ready and organized for shop fabrication workflows.
• Incorporate field feedback into drawings and keep models aligned with real installation conditions.

Document Control and Standards

• Keep models and sheets organized using company file structures and naming.
• Maintain revision tracking and ensure drawing packages are complete prior to issue.
• Coordinate and draft to project specifications and internal standards (systems, callouts, and typical details), where applicable.

Communication and Ownership

• Communicate with the Construction Operations teams on project updates.
• Manage assigned scope independently: plan workload, flag missing information early, and deliver on schedule.
• Coordinate directly with the VDC Manager, Project Managers, detailers, and shop leadership to confirm priorities and constructability needs.
• Provide clear markups, screenshots, and concise notes for internal reviews and coordination items.

Education and Experience

• A bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, construction management, or other engineering fields is preferred.
• High school diploma or general education degree (GED) is required.
• 2+ years in BIM/VDC drafting for a mechanical or plumbing contractor (or equivalent experience).
• Experience with Navisworks (clash detection and coordination).
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD (as‑built and details, if required).
• Working knowledge of Bluebeam (markups and coordination review).
• Familiarity with Autodesk / BIM360 (document control and model sharing).
• Experience with fabrication‑driven modeling (spooling, prefab packages, and shop workflows).

Qualifications and Skills

• Strong working knowledge of Revit (mechanical and plumbing preferred).
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents (plans, sections, schedules, and details).
• Ability to produce buildable, install‑ready drawings (not just models).
• Comfortable working independently, prioritizing tasks, and owning deadlines.
• Strong organization skills for models, sheets, revisions, and exports.
