Revit Modeler - Mechanical & Electrical
Responsibilities
- BIM Development & Model Management
- Develop and maintain high-quality Revit models across all project phases, ensuring models meet SSOE standards within your discipline (mechanical or electrical).
- Drive continuous improvement of Revit families, templates, and content libraries to improve modeling efficiency and consistency firm wide.
- Lead BIM kick-off sessions and coordinate model setup with project teams to ensure seamless data handoffs from design through construction.
- Coordinate & Issue Resolution
- Lead multi-discipline coordination meetings using Navisworks, identifying and resolving issues, and ultimately reducing RFIs on coordinated projects.
- Collaborate with other internal teams to produce fully coordinated federated models, minimizing field conflicts and change orders.
- Produce coordination reports and issue logs, tracking resolution progress and communicating status to project managers and engineers of record.
- Quality Assurance & Technical Validation
- Conduct QA/QC reviews prior to record submissions, verifying model completeness and annotation accuracy against project requirements.
- Ensure BIM standards and best practices across the project team, providing real-time coaching to junior modelers and designers to elevate model quality.
- Validate that Revit models align with engineering calculations, specifications, and applicable codes, flagging discrepancies for engineer review.
- Discipline Design Support (Mechanical or Electrical)
- When BIM modeling demand decreases, transition into an active design support role within your discipline — assisting with equipment layouts, system routing, load calculations, drawing production, or other discipline-specific design tasks.
- Apply your mechanical or electrical engineering knowledge to support engineers of record and project teams in meeting project deliverable schedules.
- Serve as a knowledgeable resource bridging BIM accuracy and discipline-specific design intent.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional Revit MEP modeling experience, with a demonstrated focus in either mechanical or electrical systems.
- Demonstrated expertise in Revit, including family creation, work-sharing, and linked model management.
- Proficiency in Navisworks for clash detection and coordination workflows.
- Solid understanding of mechanical or electrical engineering fundamentals applicable to your discipline of focus.
- Practical experience performing mechanical or electrical design work — such as equipment selection, system layout, load calculations, or drawing production — in addition to modeling.
- Experience preparing construction documents, coordinating with contractors, and supporting RFI resolution during the construction phase.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly to engineers, clients, and field teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Revit Professional certification (current).
- Familiarity with BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud for project management, document control, and model collaboration.
- Field walk or site evaluation experience within your discipline (a strong differentiator for construction administration coordination).
- Knowledge of Dynamo or Python scripting for Revit workflow automation.
- Experience working on large-scale industrial, healthcare, or data center projects.
