About the Role

Our client, a leading mechanical construction and fabrication organization, is seeking an experienced BIM Coordinator – Mechanical Piping to bridge BIM technology, field execution, and fabrication operations.

This leadership role combines hands-on BIM coordination with team management, helping drive high-quality mechanical piping installations through coordinated modeling, fabrication readiness, and cross-functional collaboration. The ideal candidate is an experienced BIM professional with a strong background in mechanical piping systems, constructability, and prefabrication workflows.

What You'll Do

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of BIM Coordinators and Detailers focused on mechanical piping systems.
• Assign workloads and monitor project staffing to meet production schedules and project milestones.
• Establish and enforce BIM standards, modeling practices, and coordination procedures.
• Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support to project teams.
• Conduct quality control reviews of coordinated models, spool drawings, installation drawings, and fabrication deliverables.
• Support hiring, onboarding, training, and professional development of BIM personnel.
• Coordinate priorities with VDC Leadership, Project Coordinators, and the Spooling Department.
• Develop and maintain coordinated 3D models using Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and other BIM platforms.
• Perform BIM coordination for HVAC piping, hydronic systems, plumbing, process piping, and specialty piping systems.
• Participate in coordination meetings with contractors, architects, engineers, and trade partners.
• Identify and resolve clashes, constructability issues, access conflicts, and installation sequencing challenges.
• Produce fabrication-ready drawings, spool sheets, hanger layouts, installation drawings, and field coordination documents.
• Support fabrication and field teams through model-based problem solving and installation planning.
• Develop workflows that improve productivity, prefabrication opportunities, and project efficiency.
• Maintain BIM libraries, templates, standards, and mechanical piping workflows.
• Ensure all BIM deliverables comply with project specifications, schedules, and contract requirements.
• Support integration between BIM platforms, fabrication software, and downstream manufacturing processes.
• Assist with implementation of new BIM technologies, automation tools, and process improvements.
• Complete additional responsibilities as assigned.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Leadership opportunity within a growing VDC/BIM organization.
• High-impact role supporting fabrication, prefabrication, and field installation.
• Opportunity to influence BIM standards, workflows, and department growth.
• Work with advanced BIM technologies on complex commercial and industrial projects.
• Collaborative environment with strong visibility across project teams.

What We're Looking For

• 5–10 years of experience in mechanical piping detailing, BIM coordination, or VDC leadership.
• Strong understanding of mechanical piping systems, fabrication methods, and construction practices.
• Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Revit.
• Advanced proficiency with Navisworks Manage.
• Strong knowledge of BIM/VDC coordination workflows.
• Experience developing and maintaining coordinated 3D models.
• Experience coordinating HVAC piping, hydronic, plumbing, process piping, or specialty piping systems.
• Strong experience with clash detection, constructability reviews, and coordination processes.
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents, specifications, and piping isometric drawings.
• Experience producing fabrication-ready drawings, spool sheets, hanger layouts, installation drawings, and coordination documents.
• Experience conducting quality control reviews of BIM deliverables.
• Proven leadership and team management experience.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Valid driver's license.
• OSHA 10 certification required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Autodesk Fabrication CADmep, Revit Fabrication Parts, or Stratus.
• Stratus experience preferred.
• Experience supporting industrial, healthcare, pharmaceutical, mission critical, or large commercial construction projects.
• Experience supporting prefabrication and modular construction.
• Knowledge of shop fabrication operations and field installation practices.
• Experience with laser scanning, point cloud integration, and model-based layout technologies.
• Strong construction site safety awareness.
