Full-time
Description
At Cadnetics, we don't just model buildings - we make construction smarter.
For over 32 years, we've powered projects nationwide by providing expert Virtual Construction and BIM production support to the AEC industry.

The Cadnetics VCS division works with contractors to find success during BIM/VDC projects by serving as their go-to resource. We step in when they need help executing those jobs that are too big for their team alone and represent them when they don't have an internal BIM/VDC department. You'll have the opportunity to work with new companies and different industries of your own clients. You've modeled ductwork, conduit, piping, or full-building systems - if you thrive on technology, teamwork, and accuracy, Cadnetics is the place for you.

  • Cultivate and maintaining ongoing, positive relationships with team members, and clients.

  • Intermediate understanding of reading and reviewing construction documents, building constructability requirements and applicable code compliance.
  • Intermediate understanding of virtual design and construction concepts and best practices.
  • Intermediate to Advanced working experience with select software, specific to the virtual design and construction industry (may include various versions of Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, BIM360, LotSpec, Cyclone, Scene, Sysque, Laser Scanners, Cameras and similar)
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office suite of products.
