Bim Specialist
Actalent supports electrical installation efforts by bridging field operations and the BIM team.
About the role
This position focuses on routing conduits in the field based on guidance from superintendents, working within BIM models to create accurate layouts, measurements, and visual documentation that guide installation when traditional 2D drawings are not yet available.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with superintendents to understand electrical installation requirements and general routing direction for conduits.
- Field route electrical conduits and translate field conditions into accurate BIM representations.
- Navigate and fly through BIM models to review layouts, identify routing paths, and validate constructability.
- Take precise measurements from the BIM model to support field installation and ensure dimensional accuracy.
- Create clear, dimensioned screenshots and visual documentation from the BIM model for field crews when 2D construction documents are not yet available.
- Communicate routing decisions, changes, and field constraints to BIM modelers for implementation in the model.
- Coordinate with BIM team members to ensure electrical routing is accurately modeled and aligned with project requirements.
- Use Revit, Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and other BIM tools to perform modeling, drafting, and design support for electrical systems.
- Review construction documents and BIM models to identify potential conflicts and provide feedback to improve design and installation workflows.
- Support large project execution by maintaining organized, up-to-date BIM information for electrical installations.
Requirements
- Hands-on electrical installation experience with a strong understanding of conduit routing in the field.
- Proven electrical BIM experience, specifically working with electrical systems in BIM environments.
- Proficiency in Revit and Revit MEP for modeling and coordination of electrical components.
- Experience using AutoCAD for drafting and design support related to electrical construction.
- Ability to fly and navigate BIM models to extract measurements, review layouts, and identify routing options.
- Strong skills in creating and interpreting construction documents and BIM-based drawings.
- Solid modeling and drafting capabilities within BIM and CAD platforms.
- Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with superintendents, BIM modelers, and field crews.
- Experience working on large projects, with the ability to manage complex information and multiple stakeholders.
Qualifications
- Experience interfacing directly with BIM teams to coordinate field conditions and model updates.
- Ability to translate field observations into clear, dimensioned visual outputs for installation crews.
- Experience in electrical construction environments, including familiarity with typical installation sequences and constraints.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced project setting with evolving designs and limited 2D documentation.
- Demonstrated ability to contribute to project success on large-scale construction projects.
- Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset, with the ability to build positive working relationships across field and office teams.
- Motivation to grow within the role, with interest in upward mobility and taking on increased responsibility over time.
