BIM Modeler

The Role

We're seeking a BIM Modeler to support the design and documentation of complex projects using the latest modeling software. In this role, you'll be responsible for creating 3D parametric models, translating them into clear 2D drawings, and producing detailed construction documents. The ideal candidate is self-directed, technically skilled, and comfortable working across all phases of the building design process.

Responsibilities

• Create 2D CAD/3D BIM models to a high level of accuracy.
• Develop structural plans, sections, elevations and details from a 3D BIM model for projects of all sizes and technical complexities.
• Convert initial concepts, sketches, or hand-drawn designs into accurate CAD representations.
• Work closely with structural engineers and other team members to ensure accurate representation and implementation of designs.
• Clearly annotate, dimension and detail production drawings in conformance to Thornton Tomasetti standards and practices.
• Setup, manage, and/or plot large sheets sets including revisions and markups for each project.
• Assist and direct CAD/BIM workflow.
• Set up and geo-locate multiple models for a single project.
• Interface with engineers, our clients, and other consultants through clear communication and drawings.
• Interact with our clients to coordinate BIM modeling content and approaches, model exchanges, quality control, and delivery.
• Continued development of "best practices" for BIM.

Requirements

• Associate's degree in Drafting & Design or equivalent experience focused in building construction.
• Experience providing plan preparation and project deliverable drawings and files for building structures and foundations.
• Significant design experience and understanding of AutoCAD and Revit.
• Working knowledge of structural building components, structural construction materials (steel and concrete), standard construction techniques, and basic understanding of print reading and construction document production.
• Excellent understanding of 3D parametric modeling to maximize the benefits of an integrated building model.
• Excellent skills in relation to rendering and graphic formats and their manipulation and output.
• Experience in Rhino, Grasshopper, TEKLA, and data exchanges between BIM platforms is preferred.
