Supports an experienced team of engineers, designers, and drafters to produce full sets of BIM and CAD drawings, layouts, plan and profiles, and associated documents. This includes structural/mechanical 3D models, mechanical plans, sections, isometrics, and details covering mechanical equipment, piping systems, supports, and instrumentation (excluding process flow diagrams, P&IDs, and hydraulic profiles) using Revit/CAD.

Responsibilities

• Works with minimal supervision and coordinates with engineering team members to provide BIM support for the production of 3D models, layouts, plans, detail drawings, and profiles from conceptual layout to detailed finished product, using Revit (may also produce similar drawings in CAD).
• Develops complete plan sets for projects using Revit and/or CAD, including site geometry, utilities, grading, and drainage, based on information provided by designers or engineers, in accordance with plan design standards and requirements.
• Sets up and manages CAD workspace and file systems for production drawings; manages documents and may assist in managing CAD production and standards.
• Completes redlines and plan revisions with minimal direction; identifies design conflicts and escalates them to the appropriate engineering team member.
• Communicates and collaborates with the project team, providing timely status updates on drawing completion, workload, challenges, and plan revisions.
• Manages own deadlines and prioritizes assignments; performs QA/QC on own work and may review the work of less experienced staff.
• Resolves day-to-day BIM issues; escalates higher-risk issues to the BIM Supervisor.
• Pursues continuous learning to maintain and improve industry knowledge, technical ability, and understanding of industry standards.
• Assists with training other BIM technicians and staff; helps Designers and Engineers update CAD standards and documentation.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Associate’s degree and minimum of 3 years of progressively complex experience, or high school diploma/GED and 4 years of progressively complex experience (or equivalent combination of education, certification, and experience).
• Proficiency with Revit, Microsoft Office (or equivalent), and BlueBeam (or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of standard drafting practices and engineering terminology, with the ability to apply them to moderately difficult engineering projects.
• Ability to complete basic mathematical calculations related to engineering design.
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• Full range of visual depth perception and ability to distinguish colors.
• Willingness to work flexible schedules and overtime as required to support project needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a multidiscipline engineering environment, including mechanical piping, structural, electrical, plumbing, and site work.
