Build a Career with United Mechanical

Job Title: Mechanical & Plumbing BIM Modeler
Department: BIM / VDC
Employment Type: Full-Time (In-Office with Occasional Field Visits)

About Us

We are a leading mechanical contracting company serving commercial and industrial clients across the region. Known for our commitment to quality, innovation, and collaboration, we take pride in delivering high-performance systems that meet real-world construction demands. Our team values precision, teamwork, and forward-thinking solutions, and we are looking for a BIM Modeler who shares that mindset to help drive our projects forward.

Position Summary

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical & Plumbing BIM Modeler to join our BIM/VDC team. This role is responsible for developing, maintaining, and coordinating highly accurate 3D models for mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC systems using Revit. The ideal candidate will produce field-ready, constructible models and shop drawings that directly support fabrication, installation, and coordination efforts.

This is a Revit-based modeling position focused on real-world installation—not traditional CAD drafting. AutoCAD is not used for production.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed 3D BIM models of mechanical piping, plumbing, and ductwork systems using Revit (Fabrication Parts).
• Model systems exactly as they will be installed, including equipment, hangers, supports, sleeves, and accessories.
• Produce clear, accurate, and fabrication-ready shop drawings.
• Optimize system layouts to reduce material usage, fittings, and installation time.
• Apply annotations, dimensions, elevations, tags, and sheet standards per company guidelines.
• Coordinate models internally and participate in multi-trade coordination and clash detection.
• Incorporate submittals, specifications, and design updates into models.
• Create or request Revit families to support accurate modeling when needed.
• Model all required supports (clevis, trapeze, specialty hangers) with proper sizing and spacing.
• Ensure constructability, access, maintenance clearances, and field conditions are accounted for.
• Update models based on RFIs, field feedback, and design changes.
• Support field and fabrication teams with layout dimensions, spool drawings, and prefabrication efforts.
• Perform QA/QC checks on all models and drawings prior to release.

Tools & Software

• Revit (Fabrication Parts) – primary modeling platform
• Navisworks – coordination and clash detection
• Autodesk Construction Cloud – coordination workflows
• Bluebeam, Microsoft Teams, and related collaboration tools

Note: AutoCAD may be used only as a reference tool, not for production modeling.

Required Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in Revit-based BIM modeling for mechanical/plumbing systems
• Solid understanding of HVAC, piping, and plumbing systems
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and submittals
• High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Understanding of constructability, installation methods, and prefabrication workflows
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across teams and trades

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in mechanical contracting or fabrication environments
• Experience with multi-trade coordination and clash resolution
• Familiarity with hanger/support design and installation practices
• Knowledge of BIM standards, workflows, and model organization

Performance Expectations

• Deliver accurate, coordinated, and field-ready models and drawings
• Minimize rework through high-quality modeling
• Meet project deadlines and milestones consistently
• Communicate proactively about conflicts, missing information, or scope issues

Work Environment

• Primarily office-based role
• Occasional visits to job sites and fabrication facilities
• Collaboration with field teams, project managers, and other trades

What We Offer

• Competitive salary: $70,000 – $85,000 (based on experience)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus basic life & AD&D after 60 days of employment
• 401(k) with 3% company contribution
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Supportive, team-oriented work environment

How to Apply

If you’re a detail-oriented BIM professional who understands how systems are actually built—not just drawn—and meet the qualifications outlined above, we encourage you to apply and be part of a team that values quality, coordination, and continuous improvement.
