About the role

The Senior BIM Technician 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. The role produces high-quality, complete plan sets ready for agency approval, assists in quality reviews of less experienced staff, and may work on entry-level design tasks. This position works under general direction for advanced products and independently on routine tasks, requiring initiative, sound time management, and problem-solving skills.

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, and may 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.
• Sets up and manages CAD workspace and file systems for production drawings, including document management and potentially CAD production and standards.
• Completes redlines and plan revisions with minimal direction, identifies design conflicts, and escalates issues to the appropriate engineering team member.
• Communicates and collaborates with the project team, providing timely updates on drawing completion, workload, and challenges, and assists with plan revisions.
• Manages own deadlines and prioritizes assignments, performing QA/QC on own work and potentially reviewing the work of less experienced staff.
• Resolves day-to-day BIM issues and 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 members, and helps update CAD standards and documentation.

• Demonstrated 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.
• Flexibility to work overtime as required to support project needs.

Preferred Qualifications

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