Electrical BIM Engineer

Summary

The Electrical BIM Engineer will be responsible for the development, coordination, and execution of electrical system designs across all phases of a project lifecycle. This role requires a high level of technical proficiency in electrical drafting, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and multidisciplinary coordination, along with the ability to support both office-based design activities and on-site project execution.

• Develop detailed electrical wiring diagrams, layouts, and schematics using AutoCAD in accordance with project specifications and applicable codes.
• Prepare electrical design documentation, including power distribution layouts, lighting systems, conduit routing, and panel schedules.
• Ensure all drawings and designs are accurate, coordinated, and compliant with relevant standards and regulations.
• Conduct comprehensive site surveys to assess existing conditions, identify constraints, and gather inputs for design development.
• Coordinate with site teams, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure proper execution of electrical systems.
• Provide technical support during installation, construction, and commissioning phases.
• Design and coordinate electrical systems for both Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH) areas, ensuring functionality, safety, and operational efficiency.
• Develop and manage electrical BIM models across Levels of Development (LOD 100 to LOD 450).
• Support design development, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction documentation using BIM workflows.
• Perform clash detection and resolution using tools such as Revit and Navisworks.
• Prepare coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, and fabrication-level documentation from BIM models.
• Maintain and manage project documentation, including shop drawings, installation drawings, as-built drawings, and handover deliverables.
• Ensure completeness and accuracy of all documentation during project closeout in line with client and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate with mechanical, plumbing, architectural, and structural teams to ensure integrated system design.
• Participate in coordination meetings and contribute to resolving interdisciplinary design conflicts.
• Support project execution across all phases, from design through construction to final handover.
• Work effectively in both office and field environments, including active construction sites.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in electrical design, drafting, and BIM coordination for building services or infrastructure projects.
• Proficiency in Revit & AutoCAD is a must.
• Working knowledge of Revit MEP and Navisworks for BIM modeling and coordination.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting systems, grounding, and conduit routing.
• Familiarity with applicable codes and standards, such as NEC, and relevant local regulations.
• Experience working with BIM processes across LOD 100 to LOD 450, including clash detection and shop drawing preparation.
• Ability to conduct site surveys and provide field-level technical support.
• Strong coordination skills with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines.
• Willingness and ability to work in both office and field environments as required.
