We are seeking qualified individuals for the position of VDC (MEP) & Project Coordinator. This position will carry responsibility for creating and maintaining BIM documentation for project design and execution. This position will also support Project Managers and construction staff, in a Coordinator capacity, with specific functions including materials ordering and organizing site logistics.
The VDC (MEP) & Project Coordinator will have the following two broad areas of responsibility:
1. VDC design and drawing: the Coordinator will have primary responsibility for the creation, refinement, and publishing of the BIM documentation for MEP design and construction execution:
Design Build and Construction Coordination
- Under direction of project managers, model MEP elements in coordination with other disciplines using worksets, system identities, and in consideration of constructability.
- Maintain REVIT central and working models, and utilize BIM 360/Collaborate to achieve coordination with trades and consultants as needed.
- Create piping and mechanical room equipment layouts.
- Utilize MEP modeling and titlesheet creation best practices, to carry documentation from model origin to titlesheet completion (layout, section, elevation views).
- Collaborate directly when necessary with consultants and other trades to create fully coordinated documentation, and be familiar with stages of design evolution (i.e. schematic design, design development, working drawings, final tender/IFC drawings).
- Model and coordinate architectural components as needed to facilitate mechanical equipment installation.
- Create project- and task-specific documentation to support construction staff, with technical assistance of project managers.
- Collaborate jointly and directly with other trades to maintain digital documentation.
- Update cloud-based applications (i.e. Autodesk Construction Cloud) for access by construction staff.
2. Material and Equipment logistics: the Coordinator will contribute to efficient project management by having primary responsibility for ordering, shipment, and tracking of project equipment and materials. This will include:
· Create material take-offs from REVIT models where applicable.
· Assisting in assembling and executing project equipment and material lists, via participation in weekly project-
specific meetings
· Communicating delivery timelines to suppliers and site personnel.
· Preparing of shop drawings in coordination with suppliers and project managers.
· Tracking shipments for multiple projects simultaneously and under short notice as needed. Process heavy
paperwork loads efficiently where needed.
· Overseeing weekly assembly of materials for shipment, and oversee shop organization.
The successful candidate for this position will:
- Possess computer and interpersonal communication skills, as well as organizational ability.
- Experience with BIM documentation in a construction-execution environment, not simply a design environment.
- Working competence with all aspects of REVIT, including:
- Cloud-base coordination (i.e. BIM 360/Collaborate)
- Maintain and update project templates in all aspects, including worksets.
- Create and modify MEP equipment families.
- Use 3rd party plug-ins where applicable to enhance model accuracy and prepare for MEP material takeoffs.
- Model and coordinate architectural components as needed to facilitate mechanical equipment installation.
- Periodically use Trimble surveys as inputs to BIM model, and provide outputs to surveyor in AutoCAD format as needed.
- Able to ‘troubleshoot’ and work around known modelling program ‘glitches’ or malfunctions.
- Work in AutoCAD MEP when needed to generate details or schematics.
- Documentation workflow: carry documentation from model origin to titlesheet completion (layout, section, elevation views).
- Familiarity with documentation standards (layout vs elevation vs section drawings)
- Familiarity with MEP systems and constructability is required, however knowledge of specific systems (i.e. sizing of pipes or duct work) is not a prerequisite.
- Demonstrate a positive attitude toward inevitable shipment difficulties.
