What you can expect as a BIM Specialist (Electrical) at Illumine-i?

Electrical Modeling and Detailing

:You'll lead the development of detailed Electrical BIM models, adhering to project standards, client requirements, and industry best practices. You'll utilize Revit Electrical, Navisworks, and AutoCAD to model and document electrical systems including lighting, power distribution, grounding, cable routing, and low-voltage systems. You'll ensure all models are built to the required Level of Detail (LOD 300-500) and support project deliverables from design through construction.

Design Collaboration and Integration:

You'll collaborate with architects, structural, and mechanical teams to ensure accurate integration of electrical systems within the overall building model. You'll review electrical design drawings and specifications to identify inconsistencies, improve constructability, and support coordinated model development. You'll participate in design coordination meetings, offering insights that enhance technical alignment and project efficiency.

Quality Assurance and Coordination:

You'll be responsible for clash detection, model verification, and issue resolution using coordination tools such as Navisworks. You'll maintain BIM model accuracy and consistency through established quality control protocols and naming standards. You'll drive proactive issue identification and resolution to ensure all electrical systems are properly coordinated with other building services.

Stakeholder Engagement and Communication:

You'll present electrical models and visualizations to internal and external stakeholders, facilitating clarity and informed decision-making. You'll maintain continuous communication with project engineers, clients, and site teams to address design and modeling challenges. You'll act as a technical point of contact for all BIM Electrical deliverables, ensuring smooth collaboration across all stages of the project.

Strategic Contribution and Professional Development:

You'll contribute to workflow automation and process innovation by developing Dynamo scripts or Revit templates that enhance modeling efficiency. You'll stay current with emerging BIM technologies, standards, and digital construction trends to continuously improve modeling accuracy and productivity. You'll mentor junior team members and support a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence within the BIM team.

Essential Qualifications include:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. 4-7 years of proven experience in Electrical BIM modeling and coordination within the AEC industry. Strong expertise in Revit (Electrical discipline), Navisworks, Dynamo (Automation), and AutoCAD. Proven ability to create and manage Electrical BIM models up to LOD 500, including distribution boards, lighting layouts, and cable containment. Deep understanding of electrical engineering principles, load distribution, lighting design, and relevant codes and standards. Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of translating complex technical information clearly. Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, fostering seamless teamwork across disciplines and stakeholders.

Great to Have:

Experience in Revit API, Dynamo scripting, or BIM automation tools. Knowledge of energy modeling, load analysis, and sustainable design principles. Experience in electrical family creation, template setup, and library management. * A passion for digital transformation and innovation within the electrical design and construction domain.
