San Jose, CA | Remote

$58.00/hour to $76.00/hour

Since 1954, Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI) has been powered by people who’ve built a reputation for delivering high‑profile, complex projects. Real, tangible things that alter the landscape and improve lives. And we've done it with integrity for more than 70 years. We’re problem solvers and innovation seekers. We’re team players and safety fanatics. And we're proud to be part of Quanta Services (PWR:NYSE), North America's largest employer of skilled craft labor.

Because what we do is important, but how we do it is everything.

Our Building Information Modeling (BIM) team maximizes pre‑construction efforts by visually defining a project prior to construction so that conflicts are identified early, and adjustments are made with minimal impact. From field sketches to BIM, installation drawings and as‑builts, we get the job done right and provide the highest‑level of BIM documentation each project needs.

The BIM Coordinator will be part of the BIM Group, working on complex construction related electrical projects. This position will work directly with Project Management, Field Management, and BIM Manager on deliverables for projects, including installation drawings, modeling, coordination, redlines, and sign‑offs for modeling.

The ideal candidate will create and maintain the BIM rolling schedule, forecast work and hours needed to complete each task, and hold other operators accountable for meeting deliverables. The BIM Coordinator will also create and maintain an installation drawing log and send overall + summary page weekly on Fridays to the team.

• Identify red flags in schedule that could impact deliverables, including sign‑offs after installs, signed‑off models with clashes, sign‑offs after construction, and RFIs that affect BIM.
• Set up and maintain the project throughout its lifecycle.
• Attend clash detection meetings and internal project meetings as required.
• Set up initial internal clash detection models for team members and check clash detection reports each week to validate progress.
• Delegate download and uploads of files for the BIM team.
• Create 3D models from red‑lines and develop 2D installation and detail drawings from the 3D model or sketches when the project is running smoothly.
• Perform QA/QC of work and the work of others to ensure standards are met.

Depending on project need, this position may be located at San Jose HQ, a major out‑of‑state jobsite, or possibly a remote home office. This position reports to the BIM Manager.

You bring over five years of experience in the electrical construction industry and have proficiency in the work of a drafter/CAD operator and modeler. You have advanced electrical knowledge, including equipment clearances, use of the code book to ensure code is met through modeling, ability to read project specs and blueprints at an advanced level, and the capability to make recommendations on best practices and constructability.

• Requires minimal training on software and continued training on electrical constructability.
• Requires minimal QA/QC oversight for any work being submitted.
• Can perform 3D modeling at an advanced level.
• Can help train others on 3D modeling and 2D drafting based on standards and best practices.
