Mep Vdc/Bim Specialist

Are you ready to build something amazing together?
We're looking for an MEP VDC/BIM Specialist to join our Digital Construction team and help deliver coordinated, construction-ready MEP models, from initial modeling through fabrication deliverables and as-built documentation
You'll build construction-level MEP models in Revit, coordinate those models with other trade and turn them into the drawings and fabrication data that mechanical contractors and fabrication shops use to build. Our projects include long-term care, healthcare, mass timber, residential and commercial work across North America.
Who Are We?Founded in 2014, CadMakers is an industry-leading digital construction and manufacturing technology company headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia. We develop digital solutions that help the global construction industry solve complex, recurring challenges. Our technology and expertise empower clients to improve how projects are planned and delivered.
About the Role
Build Construction-Level MEPF Models:
Develop coordinated Revit models of HVAC, hydronic, plumbing, gas and fire protection systems, along with associated mechanical equipment from IFC drawings, consultant models, shop drawings and trade input. Model to LOD 350–400 with actual sizes, fittings, insulation, service access and clearances
Model Mechanical Rooms:
Lay out boiler, chiller and water entry rooms in full detail, including equipment, housekeeping pads and all piping and ductwork
Lead MEP Coordination:
Coordinate MEPF systems with electrical, structural and architectural models, and run clash detection in Revizto, Navisworks and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). Track clashes through to resolution and keep the model current as RFIs, SIs and change orders come in
Deliver Constructability Insights:
Raise virtual RFIs and issue reports on drawing conflicts, clearances, no-fly zones and installation sequencing, with practical solutions the trade can build
Run Coordination Meetings:
Present the model in coordination meetings with general contractors, mechanical and electrical trades, consultants and fabricators, and drive open issues to closure
Produce Construction Drawings:
Generate layout, penetration, sleeve, shaft and section drawings, then manage review submittals and as-built updates
Deliver Fabrication Outputs:
Bring ductwork and piping to fabrication level and produce pipe spool drawings, duct assembly drawings and bills of materials (BOMs). Export fabrication data (e.G. SysQue to Trimble FabShop) and hanger/support point layouts for field layout tools
Own Project Delivery:
Plan modeling work against scope, schedule and budget, and flag scope changes early. Guide other modelers, review their work for quality and consistency, and help scope new MEP proposals
Optimize Processes:
Improve our MEP standards, templates, families and automation (e.G. Dynamo, pyRevit and cmCore tools) so every project runs faster and cleaner than the last
