- Build and maintain detailed 3D models of electrical systems, including conduit pathways, cable trays, equipment, hangers, sleeves, and penetrations.
- Generate shop drawings, installation plans, spool drawings, coordination layouts, and prefabrication packages for field use.
- Run clash detection and coordinate electrical layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
- Review design documents and technical specifications to catch inconsistencies, installation challenges, and missing information before construction.
- Work through BIM/VDC coordination issues with engineers, project managers, and other trades to develop workable solutions.
- Incorporate approved RFIs, submittals, design updates, and field changes into project models.
- Partner with estimators, superintendents, foremen, and installation crews to align model details with actual site conditions.
- Develop models that improve prefabrication accuracy, installation sequencing, and field productivity.
- Provide drawing updates and technical modeling support throughout construction.
- Prepare as-built documentation and final model deliverables at project completion.
- Maintain drawing accuracy and ensure all deliverables comply with project standards and specifications.

- Experience with clash detection, BIM/VDC coordination, and multidisciplinary construction models.
- Ability to interpret electrical and architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
- Strong understanding of field installation requirements, constructability, and construction sequencing.
- Ability to create accurate, coordinated models that crews can use directly for installation.
- Prefabrication modeling and spool drawing experience is preferred.
- Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- An associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent training and experience in BIM, drafting, electrical design, or a related discipline is preferred.
