BIM Manager
AlphaHire · Detroit
We are hiring an experienced BIM Manager to lead BIM and VDC operations across healthcare, institutional, and large-scale commercial electrical construction projects.
We are specifically looking for someone with a strong electrical contractor background who has managed BIM Coordinators or modelers and understands how coordinated models translate into prefabrication, layout, and field installation.
This is a technical leadership role—not an individual modeling or architectural BIM position. You will establish company standards, oversee model quality, manage coordination workflows, develop the BIM team, and ensure project deliverables are accurate, constructible, and released on schedule.
Responsibilities
- Lead BIM and VDC execution across multiple commercial electrical projects
- Establish and maintain modeling standards, workflows, file structures, and quality-control procedures
- Manage and mentor BIM Coordinators, modelers, and project-based VDC resources
- Direct clash detection, constructability reviews, and coordination with other trades
- Review and approve electrical models, shop drawings, coordination drawings, and field installation documents
- Coordinate with Project Managers, Foremen, and operations teams to support project schedules, prefabrication, layout, and installation
- Resolve technical modeling and coordination issues before they affect field production
- Improve BIM execution plans, staff training, software use, and companywide VDC processes
Requirements
- 5+ years of BIM or VDC experience in commercial electrical construction
- Previous experience leading BIM Coordinators, modelers, or project-based technical teams
- Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Revit and Navisworks
- Direct experience with clash detection, model management, and multidisciplinary coordination
- Strong understanding of commercial electrical systems, installation methods, sequencing, and constructability
- Ability to review electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, and project requirements
- Proven ability to manage BIM deliverables across multiple active projects
- Strong leadership, communication, organization, and technical problem-solving skills
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Health insurance and benefits package
- Retirement plan options
- Paid time off
- Additional company-sponsored benefits
- Opportunity to lead and expand BIM capabilities across complex electrical projects
This opportunity is ideal for an electrical BIM leader who can develop people, establish dependable standards, improve coordination quality, and ensure BIM delivers measurable value to field operations.
