Original job description
Emerald Built Environments, a Crete United Company, is looking for an experienced BIM Designer to join our growing team.
This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys developing detailed building models, solving complex design challenges, and collaborating with engineering and construction teams to bring projects to life.
We're looking for someone with strong Autodesk Revit experience who understands how mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems come together within a building. The ideal candidate can independently develop and coordinate detailed models, identify potential conflicts, and help ensure designs are accurate, efficient, and ready for construction.
While full MEP experience is preferred, we are open to candidates with a strong mechanical and plumbing background who are interested in expanding their electrical modeling skills.
What You'll Do
• Develop, modify, and maintain detailed 3D BIM models using Autodesk Revit, supporting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
• Produce and coordinate models at LOD 400 or higher, with an understanding of fabrication-level detail and constructability.
• Coordinate building systems across multiple trades to identify and resolve design conflicts before construction.
• Use Revit and Navisworks to support model coordination, clash detection, and conflict resolution.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, project managers, and construction teams to ensure models accurately reflect project requirements.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, and design documents to develop accurate and coordinated BIM models.
• Identify potential issues involving system routing, equipment placement, clearances, and installation requirements.
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings and communicate design changes, model updates, and potential conflicts.
• Support the development of shop drawings, fabrication documentation, and as-built models when required by project scope.
• Maintain accurate model documentation, revisions, and project deliverables.
• Help improve BIM standards, modeling workflows, and coordination processes across projects.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
• Strong proficiency in Revit, including hands-on experience creating and modifying MEP models.
• Experience with Navisworks for model review, clash detection, and coordination.
• Demonstrated ability to develop detailed BIM models at LOD 400.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and plumbing systems, including HVAC ductwork, piping, equipment placement, and system coordination.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, construction documents, and technical specifications.
• Experience identifying and resolving coordination conflicts between building systems.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple project priorities, and collaborate with engineering and construction teams.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and communication abilities.
Preferred Qualifications
• Full MEP modeling experience, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
• Experience developing fabrication-level models and supporting shop drawing production.
• Familiarity with as-built documentation and model updates throughout construction.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary engineering or design teams.
• Knowledge of BIM standards, model coordination workflows, and construction processes.
• Experience supporting complex commercial or industrial building projects.
Candidates with strong mechanical and plumbing modeling experience are encouraged to apply, even without extensive electrical modeling experience.
