BIM Plumbing DesignerPosition OverviewAs a BIM Plumbing Designer (internal title: BIM Coordinator) at a Modigent operating company, you will create, manage, and coordinate detailed 3D BIM models for commercial plumbing systems. You will produce accurate shop drawings and fabrication-ready models, perform clash detection, and collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, and field teams to ensure clash-free, constructible designs. This role bridges office planning and on-site execution and offers the opportunity to mentor less experienced BIM team members while contributing to continuous improvement of BIM standards and workflows.
Duties and Responsibilities- Develop detailed 3D models of plumbing systems from engineered drawings with minimal supervision using Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and related tools.
- Produce shop drawings, spool drawings, and fabrication-ready models to support prefabrication and field installation.
- Perform clash detection and interference checks; generate reports and collaborate with project teams to resolve spatial conflicts before construction.
- Participate in real-time coordination meetings and maintain clear project documentation on company servers or client platforms (Bluebeam, Procore, etc.).
- Support field teams by providing digital construction layouts for tools such as Trimble robotic total stations and mobile applications.
- Adhere to and help develop company BIM standards, workflows, and templates; contribute to continuous process improvement.
- Assist engineers and estimators with conceptual designs, cost estimates, and design-build deliverables as needed.
- Mentor and support less experienced BIM Designers, sharing knowledge and best practices.
- Report to the BIM Manager and collaborate effectively across design, project management, and field teams.
Supervisory Responsibilities May provide informal mentoring and guidance to less experienced BIM Designers. No formal direct reports.
Requirements/Qualifications- Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in BIM modeling or as a design engineer, preferably in mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing systems. Field experience is valued.
- Education: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, CAD Drafting, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
- Certifications/Licenses: Valid driver's license required for occasional job site visits.
- Physical Demands: Primarily office-based with the ability to visit job sites for surveys or coordination as needed.
- Work Environment/Safety: Professional office setting with hybrid options possible. Occasional field visits required.
Required Skills- Expert proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
- Familiarity with Fabrication CADmep, Bluebeam, Trimble layout tools, and other relevant software is a plus.
- Strong understanding of mechanical construction processes, trade coordination, and field layout techniques.
- Experience with design-build projects preferred.
- Detail-oriented, collaborative, and able to communicate effectively with diverse project stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently while contributing to team success.
Pay Range: $75,000 - $115,000 per year
