Junior Bim Developer Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

This role focuses on creating and coordinating detailed mechanical BIM and CAD models for building projects, with an emphasis on HVAC, piping, and other MEP systems. You will work closely with engineers and multidisciplinary teams to develop accurate, constructible mechanical construction documents, lead coordination efforts across disciplines, and uphold BIM standards and quality throughout the project lifecycle.

• Develop detailed mechanical 2D and 3D CAD/BIM models, including HVAC systems, ductwork layouts, piping systems, equipment schedules, and technical details aligned with engineering calculations and specifications.
• Lead coordination across MEP disciplines to ensure mechanical systems integrate seamlessly with electrical, plumbing, architectural, and structural models, minimizing clashes and constructability issues.
• Perform and oversee quality control reviews of mechanical drawings and models, verifying accuracy, constructability, and compliance with applicable building codes, energy standards, and project requirements.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to translate load calculations, system sizing, airflow design, and equipment selections into accurate and constructible drawings and models.
• Mentor junior designers on mechanical drafting standards, HVAC and piping detailing best practices, and effective BIM and CAD workflows.
• Generate and manage mechanical construction documents, including general notes, equipment schedules, riser diagrams, and detailed system layouts.
• Support shop drawing reviews, requests for information (RFIs), and design revisions by incorporating engineering updates into BIM and CAD models and drawing sets.
• Develop and maintain mechanical BIM standards, including model organization, naming conventions, and appropriate levels of development (LOD) for project deliverables.
• Assist in troubleshooting and resolving complex modeling or coordination issues, while identifying and recommending process improvements for MEP BIM workflows.
• Prepare 3D visualizations, system diagrams, and coordination views for constructability reviews, internal coordination meetings, and client presentations.

• Associate’s degree or certification in CAD, BIM, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in CAD/BIM design with a focus on mechanical or MEP systems within building projects.
• Proven experience producing mechanical construction documents and coordinating with engineering and multi-disciplinary project teams.
• Strong proficiency in Revit MEP for mechanical modeling and documentation.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D drafting and detailing.
• Proficiency in Navisworks for model coordination and clash detection.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical design and drafting, including HVAC and piping systems.
• Ability to interpret and apply engineering calculations, load data, and system sizing requirements to BIM and CAD models.
• Solid understanding of building codes and energy standards relevant to mechanical and MEP systems.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality control in drawings and models.

• Experience with BIM workflows and standards across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines.
• Background in plumbing design and coordination within MEP projects.
• Familiarity with electrical and structural coordination considerations in building design.
• Ability to prepare clear system diagrams, 3D visualizations, and coordination views for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience mentoring or guiding junior designers in drafting standards and best practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with engineers, designers, and project stakeholders.
• Interest in ongoing learning and professional development, including education and professional licensing opportunities.

You will work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment that values transparency, creativity, and shared success. The role supports flexible, hybrid work arrangements to promote balance and well-being. You will regularly use tools such as Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and BIM platforms to develop and coordinate mechanical and MEP models. The organization offers meaningful career paths, leadership opportunities, and room to specialize, supported by learning and development programs, including education and professional licensing. Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, company-paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability coverage, voluntary life insurance options for employees and their families, a 401(k) retirement plan with employer match, paid holidays, and competitive paid time off plans. The professional setting emphasizes collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement in project delivery.
