vConstruct is seeking a VDC Engineer for Electrical with at least 3 years (for Engineers) or 5 years (for Diploma holders) of commercial construction experience.
Position Overview
VDC Engineer – Electrical creates Building Information Models (BIMs), i.e., 3D/4D/5D computer models / simulations for commercial construction projects using Virtual Construction and Design (VDC) tools and methods.
Minimum Qualifications
We are looking for a flexible, detail-oriented team player with the ability to manage multiple tasks, produce quality work, and consistently meet deadlines. The successful candidate will possess:
Educational Background : Bachelor’s degree or higher in any AEC Domain (preferably Electrical) or closely related field.
Prior Work experience : 3+ years of experience in Electrical BIM at LOD 350 and above (Model capable of aiding Installation on field).
Software Skillset : Proficiency with BIM Authoring and Analysis tools:
- Expert Knowledge of Revit Suite of products (Revit MEP, Revit Architecture, Revit Structure)
- Expert knowledge of eVolve electrical, SysQue and Revit MEP Fabrication.
- Expert Knowledge of Navisworks
- Additional Knowledge of 3D AutoCAD based products (AutoCAD architecture, AutoCAD MEP)
- Additional Knowledge of using Dynamo/other plugins in Revit for solving repetitive problems.
Principal Responsibilities Include:
Drawing Interpretation:
- Expert Knowledge in reading Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing design drawings.
- Ability to compare 2D and 3D data between the different versions and identify deviations.
Model Authoring:
- Develop high precision models for majorly Electrical Systems and/or assist in modeling for other trades (Mechanical, Plumbing , Fire Protection) occasionally per project needs.
- Read and understand Codes such as NEC and able to translate it into the models.
- Ability to work with Parametric Revit Families.
- Develop LOD 400 model for prefabrication using tools like eVolve MEP, Revit Fabrication, etc
- Ability to work within BIM 360 environment.
- Produce dimensioned drawings for layout from the models.
Quality Checks:
- Ability to perform various Quality Checks on the Models to validate models for things like:
- Model Completeness with respect to design documents
- Model Alignment with respect to other trade models
- Model Sanity: no duplication of data, no errors and omissions, continuity of systems between the different points of connection.
- Ability to capture as-built information and compare it with BIM to verify alignment and Quality Checks on construction put in place.
Clash Detection and Coordination:
- Perform Model based coordination amongst different building systems using tools like Navisworks Clash Detection, etc. Engage in BIM coordination meetings between different trades (MEPF, Skin, Structures, Interiors, and Site).
- Suggest solutions to MEP problems and conflicts through accurate interpretation of contract documents and thorough understanding of constructability.
Communication and work ethics:
- Ability to confidently communicate with onsite project teams in meetings to coherently convey project updates, complex issues, etc.
- Effective participation in team environment
- A strong work ethic and a “can-do” attitude.
