Mechanical BIM Detailer

The position of BIM detailer is a professional who uses building information modeling (BIM) software to create detailed and accurate mechanical piping and plumbing models. The BIM detailer will work closely with engineers, field personnel, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to ensure that the design and construction of a project are coordinated and optimized.

This position will report up and through the Preconstruction Manager to assist in estimating and managing project at the start of the project and work on changes throughout the duration of the project.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Highly proficient in modeling industrial mechanical piping, industrial hangers, and plumbing piping with Revit.

• Using BIM software, such as Revit, to generate isometric drawings, 2D drawings and 3D models of mechanical piping and hangers. Floor plans, sections, elevations, details, and schedules.

• Applying relevant standards, codes, and specifications to the BIM models and drawings, such as building codes, structural codes, fire codes, and industry standards.

• Performing clash detection and coordination among different disciplines, such as architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, using BIM software or other tools, such as Navisworks or BIM 360.

• Collaborating and communicating with other BIM detailers, designers, engineers, architects, contractors, and clients throughout the project lifecycle, from design to construction to operation.

• Applying Dilling's and projects BIM protocols and standards, such as naming conventions, file formats, level of detail, and quality control procedures, for the project team and the client.
