## Description

A well-established commercial electrical contractor in the Detroit metro area is seeking an experienced BIM Modeler/Detailer to build accurate, coordinated 3D electrical models and construction-ready drawings for its commercial projects. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in electrical construction modeling, BIM/VDC coordination, clash detection, and prefabrication detailing.

Working closely with engineers, project managers, and field teams, you will improve constructability, resolve coordination issues, streamline installation, and help projects run efficiently.

### Key Responsibilities

-   Build and maintain detailed 3D electrical models, including conduit routing, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
-   Produce shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages.
-   Run clash detection and coordinate electrical systems with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection models.
-   Review design documents and specifications to identify discrepancies, installation challenges, and missing information.
-   Work with engineers, project managers, and other trades to resolve BIM/VDC coordination issues.
-   Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and field changes into project models.
-   Coordinate with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and field crews so models reflect real site conditions and installation needs.
-   Develop models that support prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
-   Provide updated drawings and modeling support throughout construction.
-   Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
-   Ensure all deliverables are accurate and comply with project standards and specifications.

## Requirements

-   3+ years of experience in BIM modeling, electrical detailing, VDC design, or a related field.
-   **Required:** hands-on experience with commercial electrical construction projects.
-   Proven ability to develop electrical system models and construction-ready drawings.
-   Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
-   Knowledge of electrical installation practices, conduit routing, cable trays, equipment layouts, supports, and penetrations.
-   Experience with clash detection, BIM/VDC coordination, and multidisciplinary models.
-   Ability to read and interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
-   Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and sequencing.
-   Ability to produce accurate, coordinated models that field crews can use directly for installation.
-   Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience preferred.
-   Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
-   Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline preferred.

## Benefits

-   Competitive base salary commensurate with experience.
-   Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
-   401(k) with company match.
-   Paid time off and company holidays.
-   Professional training and advancement opportunities.
-   A steady pipeline of commercial electrical projects.
-   Access to advanced BIM/VDC and prefabrication technology.
-   Exposure to complex commercial construction projects.
-   A collaborative team environment.
-   Long-term career development opportunities.
