Job Location : Chennai
Position: Electrical BIM Checker
- Develop Electrical BIM Models: Create and maintain accurate 3D models of electrical systems, including lighting, power, fire alarms, and other electrical components using BIM tools (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD MEP).
- Coordination with Electrical Engineers: Work closely with electrical engineers to understand system requirements and specifications, ensuring that the BIM models reflect the latest design changes.
- Clash Detection & Resolution: Perform clash detection and resolve conflicts between electrical systems and other building systems (mechanical, plumbing, structural), ensuring that all designs are coordinated.
- Update Models: Regularly update BIM models to reflect any design changes, revisions, or additions.
- Create Drawings and Documentation: Generate detailed drawings, schedules, and reports from the BIM models, including circuit diagrams, lighting layouts, power distribution, and more.
- Design Support: Assist electrical engineers with design optimization and ensure that the electrical system designs comply with safety regulations and building codes.
- Collaboration: Work alongside other BIM modelers and project team members (architects, engineers, contractors) to ensure the integration of all building systems within the BIM model.
- Maintain Standards: Ensure that all electrical models adhere to company standards, client requirements, and local building codes and regulations.
- Quality Control: Perform quality checks on models and drawings to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
- Software Utilization: Use BIM software to simulate electrical system performance and support various aspects of the construction process, including project scheduling (4D) and cost estimation (5D) when necessary.
Requirements:
- Education: Bachelor&aposs degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
- Experience: Proven experience as an Electrical BIM Modeler or similar role, ideally within the construction or building services industry.
- Proficient with BIM Tools: Strong working knowledge of BIM software (e.g., Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Navisworks).
- Electrical Systems Knowledge: Understanding of electrical design principles, including power distribution, lighting systems, and fire alarm systems.
- Clash Detection Expertise: Familiarity with clash detection and resolution within BIM models using tools like Navisworks or Revit.
- Attention to Detail: High attention to detail and accuracy in model creation and documentation.
- Collaborative Skills: Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including engineers, architects, and contractors.
- Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues with electrical systems in the BIM model.
- Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills to work with project managers, engineers, and other stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Certifications: Certification in Revit, AutoCAD MEP, or other BIM-related software.
- Advanced BIM Knowledge: Experience in implementing BIM processes for electrical design, including 4D (scheduling) or 5D (cost estimation).
- Software Familiarity: Knowledge of Dynamo, Navisworks, or other relevant BIM tools.
- Industry Standards: Familiarity with international electrical standards, regulations, and BIM protocols.
