• Model-Based Quantification & 5D BIM (Core Focus) – Extract, manage, and validate model-based quantities from multidisciplinary BIM models (Structural, Architectural, MEP) using Assemble.
• Leverage strong Revit model understanding to ensure quantities are derived from correctly structured elements.
• Create and maintain consistent quantity breakdowns aligned with data center scopes.
• Ensure quantity accuracy and traceability across model revisions and design milestones.
• Perform model comparison and quantity change analysis between Revit model versions.
• Identify and communicate quantity and cost-impacting changes to estimating and project teams.
• Review Revit models for parameter completeness, modeling consistency, and classification.
• Coordinate with BIM authors to resolve issues that impact quantities.
• Export structured quantity data to Excel or other cost tools for pricing and analysis.
• Support early design estimating, option comparisons, and value engineering.
• Prepare clear quantity reports, change summaries, and dashboards for internal teams and US-based clients.
• Use Power BI (where available) to visualize quantities, trends, and design changes across model versions.

• Experience in a high-tech industry completing work for an international company.
• Unique, cutting-edge data center projects with global clients such as Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, and Google.
• Dynamic collaboration partnering with a team of professionals focused on engineering.
• Competitive hourly rate in USD.
• Ability to collaborate remotely.
• Supportive dynamic environment.
• English classes made available.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience working with BIM models in a production, coordination, estimating, or VDC capacity.
• Experience on large-scale, technically complex projects (data centers, mission-critical, industrial, or large commercial).

• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit (required).
• Understanding of model structure, parameters, categories, and modeling logic.
• Experience with Assemble is preferred; candidates with strong Revit skills and willingness to learn Assemble are encouraged.
• Advanced Excel skills for quantity analysis, exports, and validation.
• Experience with Power BI is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows is a plus.

• Understanding of how BIM data supports quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, and design decision-making.
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents and relate them to BIM content.
• Familiarity with data center construction logic (MEP-intensive systems, repeatable modules, phased delivery) is highly desirable.

• English proficiency B1 or higher.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical information to non-BIM stakeholders.
• High attention to detail and analytical mindset.
• Ability to manage multiple models, packages, and deadlines in parallel.
• Comfortable working with distributed teams and US-based clients.

• Cutting-edge data center projects in a fast-growing industry.
• Opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading professionals and firms.
• Competitive terms of the contract.
• A dynamic environment fostering creativity through exposure to diverse technologies and experiences.
