Senior CAD / BIM Designer

About the role

The Senior CAD / BIM Designer is responsible for developing, coordinating, and managing detailed electrical design and construction models using CAD and BIM technologies. This role supports project teams by producing coordinated electrical layouts, prefabrication drawings, and clash-free models that align with project specifications, schedules, and construction standards.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed 3D BIM models for electrical systems including power distribution, lighting, grounding, cable tray, conduit routing, and equipment layouts
• Produce coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, and fabrication drawings
• Create LOD 300-400 models suitable for construction and prefabrication
• Develop electrical layouts in accordance with project specifications and NEC requirements
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings with project teams and trade partners
• Perform clash detection using Navisworks or similar software
• Resolve coordination issues between electrical systems and other trades such as mechanical, plumbing, and structural
• Cross-discipline collaboration to ensure efficient installation of electrical systems on complex commercial large commercial facilities
• Aid in model-based layout and field installation planning
• Manage version control and drawing revisions
• Maintain BIM standards, templates, and modeling best practices
• Ensure drawings comply with company drafting standards and project BIM execution plans
• Provide guidance and training to junior CAD/BIM designers and drafters
• Review drawings and models for accuracy, completeness, and constructability
• Assist leadership with improving BIM workflows and design processes
