Build Better Through Coordination

Our client, a leading electrical contractor, is seeking a BIM Coordinator to support electrical construction projects through accurate modeling, MEP coordination, and clash detection. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented professional who understands electrical construction and can translate design plans into coordinated, field-ready installation drawings.

Working closely with VDC professionals, Project Managers, and field teams, you will help resolve coordination challenges, improve constructability, and ensure electrical systems integrate seamlessly with other building trades.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and maintain electrical BIM models using Revit, AutoCAD, and related coordination software.

• Review contract documents, drawings, submittals, specifications, and estimate files to understand electrical project scope.

• Perform clash detection and MEP model coordination to identify and resolve conflicts before installation.

• Create detailed electrical installation drawings that support constructability, field layout, and efficient installation.

• Collaborate with VDC teams, Project Managers, field personnel, general contractors, designers, and other trades.

• Participate in coordination meetings and help resolve design conflicts and installation challenges.

• Incorporate product-specific information into models to improve accuracy and coordination.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required; an associate or bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, drafting, or a related field is preferred.

• At least 5 years of experience with an electrical contractor or construction firm in BIM, VDC, coordination, or a related role.

• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks, including clash detection and model coordination.

• Experience participating in or leading MEP coordination.

• Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Chicago Electrical Code.

• Understanding of electrical construction materials, installation methods, sequencing, and spatial requirements.

• Ability to interpret construction documents and translate design intent into coordinated, constructible models.

• Strong organizational, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and web-based project platforms.

Preferred: Familiarity with Trimble Total Station and construction layout workflows.
