Role Description This is a remote role within the United States. US work authorization is required. This Is More Than a Drafting Role. It's a Career-Defining Technical Position. If you're an electrical BIM professional who takes pride in precision, constructability, and getting it right before work hits the field, this role gives you the opportunity to make a visible, measurable impact on real projects, without being buried in redlines or rework. As a BIM Detailer in our Electrical team, you'll turn electrical design intent into fabrication- and installation-ready models and drawings that directly support manufacturing, coordination, and successful field execution. Your work will be used (not reinterpreted) and success is clearly measured by accuracy, clarity, and reduced field issues. Qualifications - Care deeply about accuracy, constructability, and clean deliverables - Enjoy working through technical challenges and coordination constraints - Take ownership of your work and manage priorities independently - Value collaboration with project managers, BIM coordinators, and field teams - Want to grow your technical influence over time, not just produce drawings Requirements - Producing highly accurate electrical BIM models and drawings that meet fabrication and installation standards - Ensuring models pass QA/QC reviews with minimal revisions - Supporting coordination across trades to eliminate clashes and ambiguity before construction - Delivering work reliably to support project and manufacturing schedules - Continuously improving how BIM tools and workflows are used across projects Benefits - The pay for this position is $65,000–$80,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. - Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen). - Dental and vision insurance.
