We're hiring an entry-level BIM Specialist (0-2 years experience) to support large-scale electrical data center projects across the Chicago market. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their BIM career who wants hands-on exposure to complex, high-visibility builds while working an early, consistent schedule.

You'll join a well-established electrical contractor working on major projects ($30M-$150M) and collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, and field teams.

Produce 2D and 3D electrical BIM drawings for field installation

Build and maintain 3D electrical models for coordination

Interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings

Participate in coordination and clash-detection meetings

Assist with resolving conflicts while considering constructability, budget, and NEC requirements

Create shop drawings and cross-sections (underground conduit, cabling, electrical systems)

Support fabrication and field installation with clear, build-ready documentation

Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and field teams

Travel to project sites as needed

Follow all company safety, quality, and ISO procedures

What We're Looking For

0-2 years of BIM experience (internships or entry-level roles count)

Exposure to Autodesk Revit (Navisworks a plus)

Basic understanding of 3D coordination and construction drawings

Interest in or exposure to electrical construction (contractor-side experience is a plus)

Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment

Work Environment & Perks

Early schedule: 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM (30-minute lunch)

Hybrid flexibility: 2 remote days per week after 6 months

Work on cutting-edge data center projects

Join a 7-person BIM team within a ~150-person organization

ISO 9001:2015 certified company focused on quality and continuous improvement

Collaborative, growth-oriented environment with long-term career potential

Why Join?

This is an ideal role for someone looking to build a long-term BIM career in electrical construction. You'll gain exposure to complex projects, modern technology, and a team that values learning, teamwork, and technical excellence-while enjoying a schedule that gives you your afternoons back.
