* Job Description:

*
* CDM Smith's Water Services Group is seeking an experienced Building Information Modeler to support site development and water infrastructure projects in Albuquerque, NM;
Phoenix, AZ; or El Paso, TX. This role is intended for an appropriately experienced modeling professional who can independently develop, manage, and deliver Civil 3D models and construction plan sets across multiple disciplines with minimal guidance.

This position supports both public- and private-sector projects and requires a candidate who is detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, delivery-driven environment where modeling resources are often constrained and initiative is expected.

Roles and responsibilities may include, but are not limited to the following regarding water infrastructure projects:

- Develop and manage Civil 3D models from conceptual and preliminary layouts through fully developed IFC-level models, often using best available or incomplete data.

- Independently establish and refine: horizontal alignments and vertical profiles; sample lines, section views, and cross-section production; complex surfaces using corridors, feature lines, grading objects, and break lines.

- Perform pressure and gravity pipe modeling for water, wastewater, and storm systems.

- Generate automated plan, profile, and cross-section sheets in accordance with firm and client standards.

- Produce coordinated, construction-ready plan sets throughout all phases of project delivery.

- Perform earthwork determinations and volume analyses using modeled surfaces.

- Develop quantities and calculations derived directly from models, ensuring consistency with project assumptions and design intent.

- Maintain robust data management practices, including file structure, surfaces, references, and model integrity across project life cycles.

- Apply firm and client standards, workflows, and QC procedures to all modeling and sheet production.

- Coordinate models with engineers, designers, surveyors, and other disciplines to ensure constructability and design intent are preserved.

- Provide technical direction and review as required; while this role may guide others at times, it should not assume the routine availability of junior staff support.
