Job Description
This fully remote VDC Designer / Coordinator role supports a technology-focused construction team delivering low-voltage and building systems coordination for complex commercial and industrial projects. You will focus heavily on BIM and Revit, construction document interpretation, and multidisciplinary VDC workflows to produce accurate, coordinated models and documentation. The position offers a high level of autonomy, strong growth potential, and the opportunity to work with innovative construction technology and building automation systems across a wide range of project types and markets.
Responsibilities- Develop and coordinate detailed BIM/VDC models using Revit for low-voltage, electrical, and technology systems.
- Support BIM coordination efforts for low-voltage and technology scopes across commercial and industrial projects.
- Review and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and other construction documents to understand project requirements.
- Identify coordination requirements within architectural and MEP drawings, including ceiling conditions and potential system conflicts.
- Translate project requirements into coordinated models, drawings, and other high-quality deliverables.
- Coordinate actively with other design and construction disciplines throughout the full project lifecycle.
- Participate in multidisciplinary coordination efforts to resolve clashes and ensure constructability.
- Review, incorporate, and track comments received through the QA/QC process to maintain model and documentation quality.
- Maintain accuracy, organization, and consistency of BIM models and project documentation at all times.
- Manage assigned work independently with a high level of ownership and minimal oversight.
