About the role

We’re seeking an experienced BIM Modeler/Detailer to develop accurate, coordinated 3D electrical models and construction-ready drawings for commercial electrical projects. This role focuses on BIM/VDC coordination, clash detection, and prefabrication detailing to support efficient field installation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain detailed 3D models of electrical systems, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
  • Produce shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages.
  • Perform clash detection and coordinate electrical layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
  • Review design documents and specifications to identify discrepancies, installation challenges, and missing information.
  • Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and other trades to resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues.
  • Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and field changes into project models.
  • Coordinate with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and field crews to ensure models reflect actual site conditions.
  • Develop models that support prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
  • Provide updated drawings and technical modeling support throughout construction.
  • Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
  • Maintain drawing accuracy and ensure all deliverables meet project standards and specifications.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related field.
  • Required: Hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
  • Proven ability to develop electrical system models and construction-ready drawings.
  • Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
  • Knowledge of electrical installation practices, conduit routing, cable trays, equipment layouts, supports, and penetrations.
  • Experience with clash detection, BIM/VDC coordination, and multidisciplinary construction models.
  • Ability to interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
  • Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and construction sequencing.
  • Ability to produce accurate, coordinated models that crews can use directly for installation.
  • Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience preferred.
  • Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
  • Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
  • Professional training and advancement opportunities.
  • Steady pipeline of commercial electrical projects.
  • Access to advanced BIM/VDC and prefabrication technologies.
  • Exposure to complex commercial construction projects.
  • Collaborative team environment.
  • Long-term career development opportunities.
