BIM Modeler - Instrumentation & Controls

Where you'll work

Responsibilities

• Create Models for instrumentation and controls systems in Revit and AutoCAD Plant 3D across active projects: sensor layouts, I/O cabinets, control panels, networking equipment, cable tray and conduit routing, and all field device locations
• Model cable tray, conduit runs, and cable routing for controls systems; coordinate conduit sizing and routing against electrical, mechanical, and structural scopes to avoid conflicts before the build
• Model control panels, junction boxes, disconnect switches, and cabinet locations to ensure accessibility and proper integration with adjacent systems
• Convert incoming AutoCAD controls drawings, P&IDs, electrical schematics, and partner controls documentation into native Revit geometry; produce CAD deliverables back out where partners or AHJs require them.
• Maintain the controls model within the federated model set per the Giga BIM Execution Plan, including worksets, links, shared coordinates, and model discipline
• Participate in and run clash detection cycles in Navisworks, resolving controls-side conflicts (conduit vs. structural, sensors vs. mechanical equipment, etc.) rather than only reporting them
• Raise and track model change requests so revisions are controlled and stale geometry never reaches a bidder, controls contractor, or site crew
• Produce controls drawings, system layout plans, instrumentation and I/O location plans, cable routing schedules, conduit and tray schedules, control panel layouts, and sensor/device schedules.
• Generate model-based quantity takeoffs for cable, conduit, sensors, panels, and controls hardware to support procurement and estimating
• Build and maintain the parametric Revit family library for repeatable controls content sensor types, control panels, cable tray sections, conduit supports, I/O cabinet types so the next project starts from validated content
• Familiarity with Template and Modular designs strategies and Processes
• Contribute to controls model templates, view standards, shared parameters, and naming conventions under the BIM Lead
• Support commissioning and startup teams with as-built documentation, final layouts, and system verification against the model
• Maintain as-built model updates from field markups, installation photos, and site feedback
• Mentor junior drafters and review their controls output before it is released

Requirements

• 5+ years modeling building systems and MEP scope in Revit for industrial, energy, data center, or mission-critical projects.
• Expert-level Autodesk Revit, including MEP family creation, parametric content, worksharing, and shared coordinates. Family creation is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have
• Strong AutoCAD Plant 3D. A large share of what we receive and issue is still CAD, and you must be genuinely fluent moving work in both directions between AutoCAD and Revit without losing accuracy.
• Demonstrated experience with controls system layout, instrumentation, cable tray and conduit routing, and sensor/device placement
• Able to read and work from P&IDs, electrical schematics, controls system documentation, equipment general arrangements, and sequence of operations
• Navisworks proficiency, including running clash tests and resolving interference in your own models
• Working knowledge of, or ability to quickly learn, Autodesk Construction Cloud (Forma) and Bluebeam Revu
• Working knowledge of building codes and standards relevant to electrical distribution and controls (NEC, IEC, NFPA)
• High school diploma required; degree or diploma in electrical engineering, controls engineering, or related technical field preferred, or equivalent years of experience
• Strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to work cross-functionally with controls engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, IT teams, and site crews
• Able to work under the direction of the BIM Lead and Design TPMs with minimal oversight
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
