- Produce coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, and construction documentation from BIM models.
- Model HVAC ductwork, hydronic piping, plumbing piping, equipment, fixtures, valves, accessories, and related systems.
- Interpret mechanical and plumbing design drawings, specifications, schedules, and project requirements.
- Coordinate mechanical and plumbing systems with architectural, structural, electrical, fire protection, and other building systems.
- Identify and resolve clashes, constructability issues, routing conflicts, and spatial constraints.
- Develop accurate plans, sections, elevations, details, and enlarged views for field installation.
- Maintain proper system connectivity, slopes, elevations, clearances, and equipment access requirements.
- Incorporate coordination changes, RFIs, design revisions, and field information into BIM models.
- Participate in BIM coordination and internal QA/QC processes.
- Maintain project BIM standards, naming conventions, model organization, and drawing quality.
- Work closely with BIM Leads, Project Managers, engineers, and construction teams to meet project schedules and deliverables.
Required Qualifications
- 4+ years of professional BIM drafting/modeling experience focused on Mechanical and/or Plumbing systems.
- Strong proficiency with Autodesk Revit.
- Strong understanding of HVAC and plumbing systems and their typical construction methods.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical/plumbing construction documents and specifications.
- Experience developing coordinated BIM models and construction/shop drawings.
- Understanding of ductwork, piping, fittings, valves, equipment connections, supports, and system routing.
- Strong spatial coordination and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work accurately in complex and congested building environments.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to drawing/model quality.
- Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet project deadlines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills (English).
