VDC Designer – Mechanical Construction

Our client is an established mechanical contractor operating across Ottawa and the surrounding region. With a strong portfolio of mechanical construction projects, they have built a reputation for quality workmanship, technical expertise, and successfully deliveringplex projects.
As their project portfolio continues to grow, they are looking to add VDC Designers to their construction team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a mechanical construction background who enjoys working with Revit, BIM/VDC coordination, and detailed mechanical systems and wants to see their designs move from the model through fabrication and ultimately into the field.

$65,000 – $85,000 base salary

Pension plan

Balanced working hours

Professional development and career growth opportunities

What You'll Be Doing:Working closely with project, field, and construction teams, you'll develop coordinated mechanical models and drawings that support projects from design and coordination through fabrication and installation.

Developing detailed 3D mechanical and plumbing models using Revit

Designing and modelling mechanical piping systems in accordance with project requirements, applicable codes, and construction standards

Producing BIM/VDC coordination drawings

Creating detailed shop and spool drawings for fabrication

Preparing accurate As-Built drawings

Coordinating mechanical systems with other building services and project disciplines

Supporting survey layouts, including sleeves, anchors, and underground services

Identifying and helping resolve technical and coordination issues arising in the field

Reviewing and interpreting construction drawings, specifications, and project documents

Working collaboratively with Project Managers, field teams, and other project stakeholders

Participating in project and site coordination meetings when required

What We're Looking For:We're looking for someone whobines strong Revit/VDC capabilities with an understanding of mechanical construction. You don't necessarily need to tick every box, but practical mechanical knowledge will be important.

Good understanding of mechanical systems

Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications

Strong understanding of construction methods and detailing

Organized, detail-oriented, andfortable managing multiple priorities

Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, BIM, Architecture, Building Technology, or a related discipline

Experience with AutoCAD, BIM 360, CADmep, or other 2D/3D modelling platforms

Experience producing fabrication/shop drawings

Why Join?This is a great opportunity for a VDC/BIM professional who wants to work closer to the construction and fabrication side of mechanical projects, rather than simply producing models.
You'll have the opportunity to see your designs progress from Revit model to fabrication and ultimately installation on site, while working alongside experienced mechanical construction professionals.
You'll also benefit from:

Exposure to a variety of mechanical construction projects

Hands-on involvement throughout the project lifecycle

Opportunity to strengthen your technical mechanical and VDC capabilities

A collaborative construction environment where VDC plays a meaningful role in how projects are delivered
