• Interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical construction documents and convert design information into coordinated BIM models.
• Produce detailed LOD 350-450 models to support construction coordination, fabrication, installation planning, and project execution.
• Generate shop drawings and installation documentation from BIM models.
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings and collaborate with project teams to resolve design and constructability issues.
• Perform clash detection and model coordination using Navisworks and assist in tracking issue resolution.
• Utilize Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) for model sharing, document management, collaboration, and coordination workflows.
• Support quantity takeoffs and model-based material quantification efforts.
• Develop and coordinate cable schedules.
• Maintain BIM standards and model quality control procedures.
• Improve BIM workflows and standards.
• Identify constructability concerns before installation.
• Coordinate with engineering, preconstruction, PM, VDC, and field teams.

• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in VDC, BIM coordination, or construction project delivery.
• Internship or co-op experience in a construction, architecture, or engineering environment is a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit and Navisworks.
• Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) / BIM 360, Bluebeam Revu, or similar platforms preferred.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems and construction documentation.
• Experience creating LOD 350-450 models and shop drawings.
• Ability to interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings.
• Experience supporting quantity takeoffs.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
