BIM Director

Director of Mechanical BIM & Detailing
Location: Miami, FL (on-site)
Compensation: $130K – $150K

About the Role:
You’ll own the BIM, detailing and field-layout operation for an established, self-performing mechanical contractor doing well over $100M a year in new construction. That means running the modeling and CAD team, setting the standards they work to, and making sure the model actually drives coordination, fabrication, layout and estimating instead of sitting on a server.
This is a strong fit for someone who already leads a mechanical BIM group and wants to build the department their way at a growing, owner-run contractor. The work is big and technical – hospitals and large mission-critical jobs – and you’ll sit at the table with operations, preconstruction and ownership, not three layers below them.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead, hire, train and review a team of BIM modelers, detailers, CAD staff and field layout techs.
• Write and enforce company-wide modeling standards, templates, families and file structure.
• Build the BIM execution plan on each job and hold the team to the GC’s and owner’s requirements.
• Run MEP coordination: clash detection, coordination meetings with the other trades, and sign-off before anything goes to the shop or the field.
• Push model-to-fabrication workflows for sheet metal and piping so more work gets built in the shop.
• Oversee robotic total station layout so the field installs exactly what was coordinated.
• Hand preconstruction model-based quantities and data that tighten bids and change-order pricing.
• Manage software licenses, hardware, user access and vendor relationships for the department.
• Track department productivity and quality, and report progress and recommendations to leadership and project teams.
• Troubleshoot model and drawing issues with PMs, superintendents and engineers when the job needs answers.

About You:

• 7-10 years leading a BIM, VDC or CAD/detailing department – people management, not just coordination.
• Deep, hands-on command of Revit and/or AutoCAD MEP and fabrication tools, plus Navisworks-style clash detection.
• Mechanical contractor background strongly preferred: you know ductwork, piping and how a self-performing shop builds from a model.
• Track record of creating standards and workflows that a team actually follows.
• Experience with field layout technology (robotic total stations, point layout) preferred.
• Comfortable supporting estimating, project management and field operations, not just the model.
• Bachelor’s in architecture, engineering or construction management preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• Willing to work full-time from the Miami office, with occasional jobsite visits.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary plus a full benefits package.
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate.
• Real ownership of the department’s direction, tools and hiring.
• Direct access to ownership at a growing contractor that isn’t for sale.
• Large, complex healthcare and mission-critical work to model and coordinate.
• Room to grow the team as the company expands across the state.
