BIM Coordinator (Electrical)

Job Summary

The Senior Electrical BIM Coordinator is responsible for leading the development, coordination, and management of electrical BIM models across all project stages. This role ensures electrical systems are accurately modeled, coordinated with other disciplines, and compliant with client and project standards particularly those governed by ISO 19650. The coordinator works closely with electrical engineers, BIM Managers, architects, and subcontractors to deliver high-quality, clash-free, and data-rich models to support design, construction, and facility management processes.

Key Responsibilities

BIM Model Development & Management

• Develop and maintain detailed electrical BIM models, including power, lighting, containment, fire alarm, and ELV systems.
• Ensure all models align with project BIM Execution Plans (BEP), ISO 19650 standards, and client-specific data requirements.
• Administer Common Data Environments (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360) for collaboration and information management.
• Act as the Model Administrator for electrical models, ensuring version control, file integrity, and model accessibility.
  
  
  

Coordination & Clash Resolution

• Lead electrical model coordination with architecture, structure, and MEP disciplines.
• Conduct clash detection using Navisworks Manage or equivalent tools and manage issue resolution workflows.
• Participate in and document model coordination meetings with internal and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate with subcontractors and detailers to integrate fabrication-level models.
  
  
  

Standards & Documentation

• Enforce company and client BIM standards, templates, and naming conventions in line with ISO 19650 principles.
• Generate BIM-based shop drawings, coordinated layouts, and as-built documentation.
• Maintain BIM logs, change records, RFIs, and revision history.
• Contribute to COBie data preparation and structured handover deliverables.
  
  
  

Construction & Field Support

• Coordinate closely with site teams to ensure models reflect actual site conditions and construction sequencing.
• Support construction phasing through 4D simulation and integration with planning schedules.
• Perform site inspections and translate field mark-ups into the as-built BIM model.
  
  
  

Innovation & Automation

• Utilize automation tools such as Dynamo, Python, or C# for repetitive BIM tasks and model validation.
• Work with IFC and openBIM workflows to ensure interoperability across various platforms and consultants.
• Support Scan-to-BIM workflows to convert point cloud data into intelligent BIM models.
  
  
  

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 5-6 years of BIM coordination experience in electrical systems.
• Proven expertise in Autodesk Revit (Electrical), Navisworks Manage, and BIM 360 / ACC.
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering systems and terminology.
• In-depth knowledge of ISO 19650 standards, information management principles, and openBIM workflows.
• Autodesk Certified Professional (Revit Electrical) or similar certification preferred.
• Experience with COBie deliverables and structured data exports.
• Familiarity with Transco or similar utility project standards is preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Preferred candidates who are immediately available.
