Bim Technician Mechanical

Job Title: BIM Technician – Piping / Process Piping (High-Tech / Semiconductor Facilities) Job Description This BIM Technician role focuses on piping and process piping design within complex high-tech environments such as semiconductor facilities, data centers, and other industrial projects. You will use Revit and AutoCAD to develop detailed MEP models and construction documents, with a particular emphasis on gas distribution systems (GDS) and electrical distribution, power, and lighting systems. The position is fully on-site and offers meaningful opportunities for growth within a busy, fast-paced MEP BIM department. Responsibilities

- Develop detailed BIM models for piping and process piping systems, with a focus on gas distribution systems (GDS) in high-tech and semiconductor facilities.
- Produce complete and accurate design documentation and construction documents using common standards and in accordance with Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) code requirements to support building permit approvals.
- Perform building load calculations in accordance with NEC and IECC guidelines.
- Design emergency and standby generator systems as part of overall electrical and power distribution solutions.
- Design electrical distribution, power, and lighting systems, including medium voltage system design as a plus.
- Create and coordinate distribution layouts, one-line diagrams, lighting layouts, and lighting control systems.
- Coordinate project requirements closely with project managers and team leadership to ensure alignment with scope, schedule, and quality expectations.
- Communicate project status, issues, and concerns with team leadership in a timely and proactive manner.
- Collaborate with in-house and external design team members to deliver a high-quality, fully coordinated design.
- Conduct pre-design site visits and perform as-built documentation to capture existing conditions accurately.
- Attend off-site meetings as required to support project coordination and stakeholder communication.
- Work consistently within established standards and QC/QA practices to maintain design quality and compliance.
- Apply a strong understanding of the construction process to ensure that models and drawings are practical, buildable, and aligned with field conditions.
- Use Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD to create and update BIM models and construction documents for MEP systems.
- Leverage tools such as Bluebeam, Outlook, Word, and Excel to support documentation, communication, and project coordination.
- Support visual design and architectural coordination for MEP systems within semiconductor, data center, and other commercial projects.
- Work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, contributing to a growing and winning MEP BIM department.

Essential Skills

- Minimum of 1 year of Revit experience on semiconductor, data center, or other high-tech MEP projects.
- Approximately 5+ years of experience in electrical design within the consulting engineering industry.
- Hands-on experience with piping or process piping design in a BIM environment, including understanding of pipe routing for gas distribution systems (GDS).
- Proficiency with Autodesk Revit for MEP modeling and Revit Architecture for coordinated building models.
- Proficiency with Autodesk AutoCAD for drafting and construction document production.
- Strong understanding of MEP systems, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design within high-tech or industrial facilities.
- Ability to understand project scope of work and translate it into complete, detailed design documentation that meets AHJ code requirements.
- Familiarity with NFPA National Electrical Code and International Building Codes.
- Working knowledge of IECC requirements and the use of ComCheck for energy code compliance.
- Ability to design electrical distribution, power, and lighting systems, with medium voltage system design experience considered a plus.
- Familiarity with distribution layouts, one-line diagrams, lighting layouts, and lighting control systems.
- Strong understanding of the construction process and how design decisions affect field implementation.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Effective communication skills for coordinating with project managers, team leadership, and other design professionals.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

- Experience in the design of semiconductor facilities, high-tech facilities, data centers, industrial, and chemical facilities.
- Experience with BIM tools and workflows, including modeling, coordination, and construction documentation.
- Experience in architecture, mechanical, electrical engineering, or related disciplines involved in MEP and BIM design.
- Experience with visual design and commercial project work.
- Familiarity with Bluebeam for drawing review, markup, and collaboration.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel for communication and documentation.
- Knowledge of SKM and/or EasyPower software for electrical system analysis is highly desirable.
- Experience working on large, complex industrial construction sites and in job trailer environments.
- Semiconductor project experience is preferred and considered a strong differentiator.
- Interest in professional growth within a rapidly expanding MEP BIM department that is actively winning new work.

Work Environment This role is based on-site at a large, very busy industrial construction site in North Phoenix. You will work in a job trailer environment alongside construction and design professionals, which can be fast-paced and intense, especially for those who have not previously worked in similar settings. The work schedule is Monday through Friday, with hours typically falling between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., for 8–9 hour days.
