BIM Modeler

Position Summary

The Building Information Modeler is responsible for developing, maintaining, and coordinating accurate 3D building information models that support VEC’s electrical, mechanical/process piping, fabrication, and construction operations.

This position works closely with project managers, project engineers, field leadership, fabrication personnel, customers, general contractors, engineers, and other trade partners to translate design documents and field information into coordinated, constructible models.

The ideal candidate has 2–5 years of BIM/VDC experience, preferably in electrical, mechanical, industrial, or specialty contracting, and understands that the purpose of BIM at VEC is not simply to produce a model. It is to help the project team identify conflicts before installation, improve planning, support fabrication, reduce field rework, and execute work safely and efficiently.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

BIM Modeling & Coordination

• Develop accurate 3D models from engineering drawings, specifications, sketches, point-cloud/field information, and project requirements.
• Model VEC-installed systems at the level of detail required for construction coordination and fabrication.
• Maintain models throughout the project lifecycle to reflect approved design changes and field conditions.
• Participate in multidisciplinary BIM coordination with general contractors, engineers, customers, and other trade contractors.
• Perform clash detection and identify spatial conflicts, access concerns, installation constraints, and potential constructability issues before work reaches the field.
• Incorporate approved coordination changes into VEC models and construction documentation.
• Assist with development and maintenance of record/as-built models.

Construction & Field Support

• Work directly with project and field teams to ensure models reflect practical installation requirements.
• Translate coordinated models into useful information for field installation and fabrication.
• Develop coordinated drawings, layouts, sections, details, and other construction documentation as required.
• Assist teams in evaluating equipment access, routing, elevations, clearances, installation sequencing, and trade interfaces.
• Coordinate field changes with project teams so models remain current and reliable.
• Support prefabrication efforts by providing accurate model information and drawings.
• Participate in project coordination meetings and communicate outstanding BIM issues clearly.
• Help resolve model-related questions from project and field personnel.

Quality & Project Execution

• Maintain accuracy and consistency of model geometry, equipment, components, elevations, and other project information.
• Follow VEC, customer, project, and BIM execution-plan standards.
• Complete assigned modeling and coordination activities in accordance with project schedules and milestones.
• Maintain organized project files and model documentation.
• Communicate coordination issues early when they could affect fabrication, schedule, cost, quality, safety, or field productivity.
• Participate in model reviews and constructability discussions.
• Continuously improve BIM workflows, standards, templates, and modeling practices based on lessons learned.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2–5 years of BIM, VDC, CAD, detailing, or construction modeling experience.
• Associate degree or technical training in Building Information Modeling, CAD, engineering technology, construction technology, drafting, or related field preferred. Equivalent relevant construction/BIM experience may be considered.
• Working proficiency with Autodesk Revit and Navisworks.
• Experience interpreting construction drawings, specifications, details, and…
