Senior BIM Specialist – Remote for Mechanical Fabrication

HIRING: Senior BIM Specialist (Fully Remote – Mechanical Contractor Experience Required)

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior BIM Specialist to join our team in a 100% fully remote, production‑focused role. This position is intended for candidates who are currently working for a mechanical contractor and are deeply experienced in hands-on BIM production supporting fabrication and installation. This role is for a high-output individual contributor, not a project or people manager. The Senior BIM Specialist will be responsible for translating design intent, contract documents, and/or 3D design models of piping and mechanical systems into highly detailed BIM models and shop drawings used directly for fabrication and field installation.

Responsibilities

• Produce detailed LOD 400 BIM models for mechanical and plumbing systems using fabrication-based workflows
• Translate contract documents, specifications, and submittals into constructible models and drawings
• Create detailed shop, spool, hanger, and sleeve drawings for fabrication and installation
• Annotate and maintain drawing sets to clearly communicate fabrication and installation intent
• Export hanger and sleeve coordinates for robotic total station field layout
• Generate RFIs when required to resolve constructability or coordination issues
• Coordinate closely with internal project teams, engineers, and field personnel to support construction execution
• Participate in coordination meetings (primarily virtual) with GCs and other trades to resolve clashes and spatial constraints
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date models reflecting current field conditions and approved changes
• Follow established BIM/VDC standards, workflows, and quality requirements
• Support schedule-driven deliverables by consistently producing high-quality BIM and drawing outputs

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience currently working for a mechanical contractor in a BIM, VDC, or fabrication modeling role
• Strong hands-on experience supporting mechanical or plumbing system installation (construction-focused, not design-only)
• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Autodesk Fabrication CADmep, and Autodesk Navisworks
• Proven ability to independently produce accurate, constructible models and shop drawings
• Strong understanding of construction documents, specifications, and coordination processes
• Ability to manage multiple production tasks while meeting project deadlines

Work Environment

• 100% fully remote position
• Candidates must be able to work effectively within U.S. time zones, with preference for East Coast or Midwest availability
• Fast-paced, production-driven environment focused on fabrication accuracy and constructability
• Supportive team culture with performance-based bonuses and long-term stability
