Senior BIM Designer

• Position Overview We are seeking a highly technical Senior BIM Designer to join Vanderweil Engineers team, in our Long Beach, California office. This role demands expert-level mastery of Autodesk Revit within the BIM workflow. With at least 10 years of experience, you will serve as the Long Beach office’s primary Revit authority - driving the digital execution, data strategies, and 3D modeling frameworks for complex, large-scale projects from conception through construction delivery.

There is no drafting here; you are a digital builder who understands how Revit data structures, parameters, and model geometry impact real-world construction. You will have the opportunity for setting up Revit projects from Vanderweil templates, troubleshooting where required, and ensure our team operates at peak Revit efficiency. Core Responsibilities

• Advanced Revit Management: Initiate, configure, and maintain complex multi-user Revit models, setting up worksets, shared coordinates, and project templates for maximum efficiency.
• Parametric Content Creation: Design, audit, and manage high-fidelity, intelligent Revit family libraries as needed/required.
• Workflow Integrity: Leading the project model coordination workflow, running design intent interference audits with either Navisworks and/or Forma Model Coordination, diagnosing model health issues, and recommending a path for model issues when required.
• Data & Environment: Oversee model collaboration within Common Data Environments (CDE) like Autodesk Forma/ACC, ensuring seamless file linking across disciplines via shared coordinates.
• Standards Enforcement: Author and enforce project-specific BIM Execution Plans (BEP), ensuring modeling efforts will meet the overall project goals and expectations.
• Advanced Mentorship: Willingness to be a resource for sharing lessons-learned from your previous experiences, regarding best BIM practices.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of dedicated professional experience modeling complex MEPT systems for power generation and data centers, entirely within Autodesk Revit.
• Revit Mastery: Complete command over Revit's back-end environments, including template customization, phase mapping, design options, global parameters, and advanced scheduling.
• Workflow Coordination: Expert fluency utilizing Forma Model Coordination, Navisworks Manage for coordination as needed, interference checking, and reporting.
• Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of building design and MEPT systems and materials, constructability.
• Problem Solving: Proven ability to troubleshoot and/or resolve model issues, to optimize for project success.
• Communication: Ability to clearly communicate technical Revit workflows and parameter requirements to non-technical project team members, stakeholders and clients as required.

Preferred Extras

• Autodesk Certified Professional designation in Revit.
• Mechanical and/or Electrical Design experience
• Multi-discipline coordination of various design teams (internal or external)
• Experience utilizing Dynamo or Python scripting to automate repetitive drafting steps and data extraction workflows.
• Familiarity with reality capture data, including importing and modeling from 3D laser scan point clouds directly within Revit.
