Description:
The VDC/BIM Coordinator will develop and coordinate 2D and 3D electrical models for project coordination, prefabrication, and field installation. They will translate construction documents into accurate, constructible electrical models, identify and resolve clashes, and produce coordinated drawings. This is more than a modeling/detailing role. We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of electrical construction who can contribute throughout the coordination process from design through field installation.
Responsibilities/skills:
Develop, manage, and maintain electrical VDC models using Revit, Navisworks, and related coordination tools. Coordinate electrical systems with mechanical, plumbing, structural, and architectural disciplines to resolve conflicts and clashes. Participate in VDC coordination meetings with general contractors, design teams, and trade partners. Produce coordinated construction drawings, layout plans, and installation details from VDC models. Support field teams with model-based layout, installation sequencing, and constructability reviews. Maintain VDC standards, model quality, and project documentation throughout the project lifecycle. Assist in model-based quantity takeoffs and prefabrication planning where applicable.
Qualifications:
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in engineering technology, construction management, or related field preferred. 3+ years of experience in VDC coordination within electrical construction or MEP environments. Strong experience with Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and VDC coordination workflows. Understanding of electrical systems, conduit routing, cable tray systems, and electrical equipment layouts. Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications. Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across project teams. #IND1
