Bim Coordinator

Job Title:

BIM Coordinator – Electrical Construction Job Description

This role focuses on the creation and coordination of detailed 2D and 3D electrical models and drawings for commercial field installations. You will use Autodesk Revit and Navisworks to produce accurate representations of electrical systems, support clash detection and resolution, and collaborate closely with project teams and engineers to ensure constructability, code compliance, and effective installation in a fast-paced electrical construction environment.

• Develop and maintain accurate 2D and 3D electrical drawings and models for field installations, ensuring they reflect current design and construction requirements.
• Read and interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical floor plans, sections, and elevations to inform electrical modeling and coordination.
• Create precise 3D representations of electrical components, including conduits, cables, and related systems, to support comprehensive coordination with other trades.
• Participate in coordination meetings with project teams and sub-contractors to identify and resolve clashes while maintaining budget, constructability, and compliance with NEC code requirements.
• Collaborate with the engineer of record and project management staff to resolve design and coordination issues, explain drawings to production and construction teams, and implement necessary adjustments.
• Produce detailed shop drawings, cross-sections of underground installations, conduits, cables, and other electrical systems to provide clear instructions for fabrication and installation crews.
• Travel to various project sites as required to support coordination efforts, verify field conditions, and assist installation teams.
• Comply with all company operating policies, procedures, and safety programs, promoting a safe and efficient work environment.
• Use Autodesk Revit and Navisworks to perform 3D coordination, clash detection, and model updates throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support the BIM team with documentation, model management, and continuous improvement of BIM standards and workflows.
• Perform other related duties as assigned to support project delivery and BIM team objectives.

• Minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent.
• At least 2 years of professional, post‑graduate experience in a BIM Coordinator role within the electrical construction space.
• Professional, hands‑on experience using Autodesk Revit for electrical modeling and production of 2D and 3D drawings.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Navisworks for 3D coordination and clash detection.
• Strong knowledge of 3D coordination processes and best practices in a construction environment.
• Direct experience within electrical construction, including familiarity with electrical systems, conduits, cables, and related installations.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical plans, sections, and elevations.
• Understanding of NEC code requirements and constructability considerations as they relate to electrical installations.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, project managers, field supervisors, and other trade partners.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, clear, and usable drawings and models.

• Electrical knowledge is highly preferred, although experience in other construction disciplines with strong BIM skills will be considered.
• Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, or other model viewing and collaboration software is preferred.
• Familiarity with shop drawing production and documentation for fabrication and installation crews.
• Experience working in a BIM team environment, contributing to shared models and coordinated workflows.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast‑paced commercial construction setting.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfort working with specifications and construction drawings to ensure alignment between design intent and field installation.

This position is based in a commercial electrical construction environment that delivers a wide range of services, including construction, maintenance, repair and retrofit, voice/data, and structured cabling across the Chicago metropolitan area. The organization has proven expertise in mission-critical and sustainability projects, riser management,…
