Electrical BIM Modeler (225-819)

An Electrical BIM Modeler plays a crucial role in the construction industry by developing and coordinating 3D models of electrical systems within a building project. They harness Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to create detailed digital representations of electrical systems, ensuring the efficient organization, collaboration, and optimization of the design and construction process. An Electrical BIM Modeler works closely with architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to understand project specifications and translate them into comprehensive digital models that showcase the electrical components, such as circuits, wiring layouts, lighting, and power distribution systems. This efficient integration and modeling process not only enhances the visualization of ideas but also preemptively addresses potential conflicts, ultimately leading to a more efficient construction phase.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed 3D models of electrical systems using BIM software tools like REVIT.
• Collaborate with project managers and engineering teams for integrated model development.
• Review architectural and structural drawings for accurate electrical system modeling.
• Coordinate with other disciplines to resolve potential clashes and inconsistencies.
• Produce detailed documentation, including schematics and layout plans, from BIM models.
• Conduct clash detection analysis and implement solutions with the engineering team.
• Update BIM models according to feedback and revised project specifications.
• Prepare construction documents by extracting detailed information from BIM models.
• Assist in the development of electrical standards and protocols for BIM workflows.
• Ensure adherence to quality control processes throughout the modeling stage.
• Provide technical support and training to team members on BIM software usage.
• Stay informed about industry advancements and BIM technology trends.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field preferred.
• Proficiency in BIM software such as Autodesk Revit or Navisworks is essential.
• Minimum of two years' experience working in electrical modeling or drafting.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, circuits, and construction processes.
• Ability to read and interpret a variety of engineering and architectural documents.
• Excellent communication skills for effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills to foresee and address potential design issues.
