MEP BIM Manager – Mechanical Construction

Industry: Mechanical Construction / MEP

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview

A leading mechanical contractor is seeking an experienced MEP BIM Manager to oversee Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) efforts for large-scale commercial mechanical projects.

This position will play a critical role in managing BIM processes from preconstruction through project completion, ensuring mechanical systems are accurately modeled, coordinated, constructible, and aligned with project requirements. The ideal candidate will have a strong background working for a mechanical contractor or MEP subcontractor and extensive experience with large commercial construction projects.

The BIM Manager will work closely with Project Managers, Estimators, Superintendents, Detailers, General Contractors, engineers, and other trades to drive coordination and improve project execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead BIM/VDC efforts for large-scale commercial mechanical construction projects from preconstruction through installation.
• Manage and oversee the development and coordination of mechanical BIM models, including HVAC, piping, plumbing, and other MEP systems as applicable.
• Review contract documents, design drawings, specifications, and models to identify constructability issues and potential conflicts.
• Lead BIM coordination efforts with General Contractors, engineers, subcontractors, and other trades.
• Manage clash detection, coordination meetings, and resolution of design and installation conflicts.
• Develop and maintain project BIM Execution Plans and modeling standards.
• Ensure models meet project requirements, company standards, and applicable BIM/VDC protocols.
• Work closely with project teams to ensure coordinated models translate effectively into field installation.
• Support prefabrication and modularization efforts through accurate and detailed BIM models.
• Coordinate fabrication-level modeling and ensure models are suitable for field installation and prefabrication.
• Establish and maintain BIM workflows, standards, templates, libraries, and best practices.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to BIM/VDC coordinators, detailers, and project personnel.
• Collaborate with project leadership to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce rework, and enhance constructability.
• Assist with project planning, sequencing, and constructability reviews.
• Participate in project kickoff meetings, coordination meetings, and design reviews.
• Ensure timely delivery of BIM models and coordination milestones.
• Troubleshoot modeling and coordination issues and provide solutions to project teams.
• Help implement new BIM/VDC technologies, processes, and workflows to improve project performance.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of BIM/VDC experience within the construction industry.
• Strong preference for candidates with experience working directly for a mechanical contractor or MEP subcontractor .
• Experience with large-scale commercial construction projects .
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, construction means and methods, and field installation.
• Advanced experience with Revit and Navisworks .
• Experience with BIM coordination, clash detection, and constructability reviews.
• Strong understanding of HVAC, piping, plumbing, and other MEP systems.
• Experience coordinating models between multiple trades and disciplines.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
• Experience supporting prefabrication and fabrication-level modeling is highly preferred.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and how BIM impacts field operations.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines.
• Ability to work effectively with project management, field operations, estimating, engineering, and external project stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

• Large commercial, healthcare, mission-critical, industrial, semiconductor, data center, or other complex MEP projects.
• Experience with BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud .
• Experience with Revit Fabrication / CADmep .
• Experience with laser scanning, point clouds, or reality capture.
• Experience supporting prefabrication and modular construction.
• Experience managing or mentoring BIM/VDC teams.
• Experience establishing BIM standards and processes for a mechanical contractor.

What This Opportunity Offers

• Opportunity to join an established and growing mechanical contractor.
• High visibility role supporting major commercial construction projects.
• Ability to influence BIM/VDC standards, processes, and project execution.
• Collaboration with experienced project management and field leadership teams.
• Opportunity to work on complex, high-value mechanical systems and projects.
