Engineering Drafter / BIM Modeler

About the role

The Engineering Drafter/BIM Modeler will support the modernization of engineering documentation for government vessels by integrating existing design drawings with laser scan data to produce accurate, data-rich digital models.

Responsibilities

• Convert existing AutoCAD 2D engineering drawings into accurate Autodesk Revit 3D models.
• Import, process, and coordinate LiDAR point cloud data using Autodesk ReCap Pro and Autodesk Revit.
• Develop and maintain digital twin models of government vessels using engineering drawings and reality-capture data.
• Validate model accuracy by comparing Revit models against LiDAR point clouds and existing engineering documentation.
• Create parametric Revit families for marine equipment, structural components, piping systems, and vessel outfitting.
• Update engineering models to reflect vessel modifications, repairs, and modernization projects.
• Cookordination with naval architects, marine engineers, and technical staff to resolve discrepancies between drawings and as-built conditions.
• Produce construction drawings, layouts, sections, elevations, schedules, and engineering documentation from Revit models.
• Maintain model organization and data integrity in accordance with established BIM standards and government drafting requirements.
• Participate in quality control reviews to ensure engineering models accurately represent existing vessel conditions.
• Support digital twin initiatives by integrating engineering documentation with reality-capture technologies.

Requirements

• A minimum of five (5) years of professional drafting and 3D modeling experience.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Autodesk ReCap Pro.
• Ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance.
• Experience importing, registering, and managing LiDAR point cloud data within Autodesk Revit.
• Experience developing accurate parametric 3D models from point cloud data and existing engineering drawings.
• Strong understanding of engineering drafting standards, model coordination, and quality assurance procedures.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Qualifications

• Preference will be given to candidates with experience in marine engineering, ship design, or ship alteration projects.
• Experience converting legacy AutoCAD 2D vessel drawings into Autodesk Revit 3D models.
• Experience developing digital twin models using LiDAR reality-capture data.
• Experience working with large point cloud datasets generated from terrestrial or mobile laser scanners.
• Experience modeling complex vessel spaces including structural, mechanical, piping, HVAC, electrical, and outfitting systems.
• Experience using Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM Collaborate Pro, or related BIM collaboration platforms.
• Experience working with government agencies, shipyards, or maritime engineering organizations.
• Experience producing as-built documentation using LiDAR scans collected aboard operational vessels.

Skills

• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Autodesk ReCap Pro.
• Experience with LiDAR point cloud data processing and integration.
• Strong understanding of engineering drafting standards and quality assurance procedures.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
