BIM Designer, Electrical

About Giga Giga

About Giga Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

The Pace:
We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.

Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.

A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.

AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

As a BIM Designer, Electrica l, you'll own the federated model for our electrical scope — substations, switch gear, cable tray and busway, conduit and raceway — and run the coordination process that keeps discipline models moving from concept through fabrication-grade release. This role sits inside our growing BIM function, working shoulder-to-shoulder with electrical, structural, and civil designers to keep one federated model as the single source of truth from design through fabrication and field support.

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays. That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs.

If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

• Build and maintain federated Revit and Navisworks models for electrical scope — MV/HV substations, padmount transformers, switch gear, UL 891 switchboard lineups, cable tray, busway, conduit, and raceway
• Model to the level of development each project stage requires, from concept (LOD 200/300) through fabrication-ready (LOD 400) shop release
• Reconcile MCAD equipment geometry (Inventor / Solid Works / STEP) into usable Revit families and IFC content
• Run scheduled Navisworks clash tests against a documented test matrix, triage issues by root cause, and track every clash to closure with evidence
• Publish clash and coordination reports on a fixed cadence and participate in coordination review meetings
• Build and enforce BIM standards — templates, worksets, shared parameters, naming conventions, and view templates
• Build and maintain the parametric family library for Giga's recurring equipment, including transformers, switchboards, breakers, skids, and enclosures
• Generate coordination drawings, general arrangements, and model-derived quantity takeoffs to support procurement and estimating
• Maintain model health — purging, auditing, work sharing hygiene, and file size discipline as projects scale

• 5+ years of professional BIM modeling experience, including at least 3 years coordinating federated multi-discipline models, not single-discipline drafting
• Expert-level Autodesk Revit, including family creation, parametric content, work sharing, and template configuration
• Demonstrated ownership of Navisworks Manage clash detection — building test matrices, running batch tests, and managing issue resolution
• Direct experience with electrical power infrastructure — substations, switch gear, transformers, or high-capacity power distribution
• Working fluency in NEC / NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE / ANSI C57, UL 891, and NEMA enclosure standards
• Ability to read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams, schematics, and structural steel drawings without hand-holding
• Track record of…
