BIM Designer lll - Remote

Overview

Since 1935, Ferguson Electric has been providing the Western New York region with exceptional electric repair and construction services. We have the experience and skill to be our customer’s “connection to quality”. Our professional team has handled most of the construction and service contracts for the commercial and industrial facilities in the area. We have the skill, experience, and the dedication to properly address all electrical repair and construction needs.

Ferguson’s BIM (Building Information Modeling) Designer III serves as a senior expert, utilizing cutting‑edge BIM software and methodologies to oversee electrical design, coordination, and execution in highly complex commercial and industrial construction projects. This role entails leading cross‑functional teams, including architects, engineers, project managers, and subcontractors, to produce sophisticated 3D models, anticipate and resolve intricate clashes, and ensure optimal integration of electrical systems.

The BIM Designer III will spearhead initiatives to maximize project efficiency, drive significant cost savings, and eliminate on‑site errors through innovative digital modeling strategies, while providing mentorship, strategic guidance, and championing the organization’s core values across the team.

• Lead comprehensive model setup tasks, including developing custom templates, standards, and workflows for large‑scale projects.
• Design, implement, and refine advanced tags, annotations, and parametric families to support dynamic model functionality and automation.
• Expert‑level mastery of Revit families, encompassing custom creation, advanced editing, and seamless integration in multifaceted Revit ecosystems.
• Independently create and refine detailed 1‑line and 3‑line drawings, incorporating regulatory compliance, engineer input, and innovative design solutions.
• Oversee complex Revit circuiting, panel board schedules, and sophisticated scheduling tools, provide guidance to engineers and ensure accuracy.
• Direct equipment layout/clearances, integrating submittal reviews, code adherence, and multi‑disciplinary coordination to optimize system performance.
• Spearhead modeling of intricate conduit and cable tray pathways, hangers/support systems, sleeves/penetrations, MEP coordination, section drawings, (3D) drawings, underground coordination, and lighting layouts with strategic oversight.
• Perform advanced clash detection, resolution, and federated model management using Navisworks, while leading coordination meetings and BIM forums.
• Mentor BIM Designer I and II team members, conducting training on advanced techniques, software optimization, and best practices.
• Develop and enforce BIM execution plans, company‑wide standards, and continuous process improvements to elevate team performance.
• Incorporate and advocate for renewable energy systems, sustainable design practices, and emerging technologies into project models.
• Analyze model data for insights on project metrics, risk assessment, and value engineering opportunities.
