Mechanical BIM Design Lead

In the role of Mechanical Designer, we'll count on you to:

• Develop and oversee the production of the BIM model, ultimately resulting in construction documents.
• Independently create and oversee development of the model under broad direction from the project team or Project Manager.
• Lead a team of multi-disciplinary designers and CAD staff on detailed design projects.
• Train and mentor BIM staff in detailing and plans production.
• Direct preparation of drawings by other BIM Technicians of lesser experience, or directly supervise BIM staff as needed.
• Develop BIM Execution Plans detailing the plan for executing the work and addressing items such as software, standards, deliverables, approach, and team member roles/responsibilities.
• Develop general arrangement drawings, mechanical equipment layouts, piping & instrumentation diagrams, piping isometric and orthographic drawings, composite arrangement drawings, piping support drawings, bills‑of‑material, lists, sketches, and other mechanical construction documents using tools and software including AutoCAD Plant 3D, AutoCAD P&, Navisworks, and LiDAR.
• Coordinate with engineers and designers of other disciplines like electrical, structural, and civil design practices throughout the course of the project.
• Coordinate the location of platforms to equipment and piping elements to allow access for operations and maintenance and be familiar with space requirements for both operations, maintenance and construction requirements.
• Complete projects with distinctive design features differing significantly from BIM Technician precedents as needed.
• Work with client or contractor representatives using the BIM model for review purposes.
• Perform other duties as needed.

• 10 years of related mechanical design experience with power, industrial, facilities and/or process.
• Good verbal and written communication skills and excellent coordination and teamwork skills.
• Extensive knowledge of BIM, design development, construction documents, technical and engineering knowledge.
• Complete piping layout and design skills to route and support high energy piping systems in complex and congested areas, both above and below ground.
• Ability to work well with technicians, engineers, and support staff from within the discipline as well as other engineering disciplines.
• Thorough knowledge of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D or Microstation, and experience with three-dimensional modeling software packages, processes, and piping software.
• Excellent 3D spatial cognitive skills.
• Commitment to being an active participant of our employee‑owned culture.

• Technical degree or a combination of education and related industry experience.
• Minimum of 5 years related industry experience.
• Advanced skillset of 3D design software and document management infrastructure.
• Advanced skillset of 3D coordination tool.
• Competency of Microsoft Office products and communication tools.
• Advanced understanding of engineering or architectural concepts.
• Knowledge of industry standards and practices, along with discipline codes and specifications.
• Excellent communication skills, attention to detail and organizational traits.
