Electrical BIM & CAD Designer

Responsibilities

• Conduct design reviews of electrical drawings, specifications, and submittals.
• Develop and maintain BIM models at appropriate LOD (300–400) for coordination and constructability.
• Create detailed CAD shop drawings and 2D documentation in alignment with BIM data.
• Convert design files between BIM ↔ CAD platforms while ensuring data integrity.
• Perform redlines and design updates reflecting RFIs, field changes, and as-built conditions.
• Build and maintain BIM content libraries, templates, shared parameters, and standardized naming/organization systems.
• Develop CAD-based shop drawings and details for installation, routing, and equipment layouts.
• Perform quantity takeoffs using CAD drawings when BIM models are not available.
• Review vendor drawings (equipment layouts, MCC/Switchgear shop prints) to ensure compatibility with design and installation requirements.
• Support BIM Execution Plan (BEP) implementation and alignment with project standards.
• Conduct clash detection using Navisworks, categorize issues, issue reports, and track resolution.
• Perform BIM audits (purge, warning cleanup, parameter QA) to ensure model health.
• Manage drawing versions and documentation in CDE platforms (ACC/BIM 360/Procore).
• Support 4D/5D linkage (schedule + cost) when required by project execution teams.
• Extract installation quantities using both BIM and CAD platforms.
• Validate vendor equipment dimensions and accessories against electrical room layouts for material procurement accuracy.
• Generate accurate quantity takeoffs (QTO) from BIM and CAD models for proposals and project execution.
• Track quantity changes and maintain cost-impact logs throughout the project lifecycle.
• Cookordination with field teams and procurement to validate quantities.
• Review conduit/cable tray routing, bend degrees, and access/maintenance clearance.
• Confirm code considerations (NEC fill ratio, pull box sizing, working clearance, ADA heights, firewall penetrations).
• Support prefab/modular planning — spool drawings, installation details, hanger elevation controls.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (architectural, mechanical, structural, fire protection, IT/low voltage).
• Support site verification, walkdowns, and scan-to-BIM integration when needed.
• Perform lighting illumination studies (IES simulation) to support fixture selection and lighting compliance.
• Maintain shop drawing logs, RFI logs, revision history, and document control procedures.
• Prepare coordinated drawing sets for approval and issuance.
• Develop accurate as-built documentation for turnover and commissioning.
• Organize sheet sets and ensure drawing format compliance (Titleblocks, ANSI/ARCH).
• Participate in vendor print review and ensure alignment with project specifications and code requirements.
• Support commissioning and close-out activities.
• Ensure final documentation alignment with energized system updates.
• Support asset tagging, O&M turnover models, and facility handover data structures.
• Provide technical support and clarifications to field crews using digital models/drawings.
• Conduct BIM/CAD workflow onboarding for project teams.
• Travel to job sites when required to assist with coordination meetings and model verification.
• Provide support for local regulation-based material selection and procurement coordination.

Qualifications

Required:

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks.
• Experience with BIM tools and techniques.
• Strong understanding of electrical codes and industry standards.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with prefabricated modular construction.
• Knowledge of lighting design and IES simulations.
• Experience with 4D/5D modeling and schedule/cost integration.
