• Perform clash detection and resolve conflicts between disciplines using BIM software such as Revit and Navisworks to ensure constructible and coordinated designs.
• Generate construction documents and shop drawings directly from BIM models to support fabrication and installation activities.
• Maintain and improve BIM standards, templates, and workflows in alignment with a design-build approach and project delivery best practices.
• Provide 3D visualization and technical input during planning and construction phases to support decision-making and field execution.
• Train, mentor, and support team members in the effective use of BIM tools, workflows, and best practices.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders to ensure BIM deliverables meet project requirements, schedules, and quality expectations.
• Organize and manage BIM files, models, and documentation within Autodesk Construction Cloud and other collaboration platforms.
• Assist in implementing and refining mechanical building systems modeling processes, including process piping and high-purity systems.
• Support the integration of fabrication parts within Revit, including CADMEP components, to enhance coordination with fabrication and installation.
• Participate in design review meetings and coordination sessions, presenting BIM models and visualizations to internal teams and external partners.
• Help manage multiple BIM-related tasks across concurrent projects, prioritizing workload and maintaining organized documentation.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• 2–5 years of BIM experience in mechanical contracting, HVAC, or industrial piping projects.
• Proficiency in Revit, including Revit MEP and Revit 2024 using CADMEP fabrication parts.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, including AutoCAD 2024 or later and AutoCAD Plant 3D 2024 or later.
• Experience with BIM workflows for mechanical building systems, including HVAC design, plumbing design, and process piping.
• Ability to perform clash detection and coordinate models using tools such as Navisworks 2024 or later.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, including piping, HVAC, and high-purity installations, and their application in industrial and commercial environments.
• Experience creating construction documents, shop drawings, and 3D models to support fabrication and installation.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office within a Windows 11 operating system environment.
• Ability to work with Autodesk Construction Cloud for file sharing and collaboration.
• Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with engineers, project teams, contractors, and clients.
