The Senior BIM/VDC Engineer is expected to provide both management and design skills in support of a detailed and accurate BIM model for the Gigafactory.
Responsible for proper set up and maintenance of large, federated building models typically involving 8-10 design and engineering disciplines and at least 8-10 manufacturing process models. Projects are typically cloud-hosted and span across multiple internal and external design teams in different geographies and time zones.
Directly responsible for the coordination model produced by the Design Team, Trade Contractors and other third-party vendors under their direction.
Responsible for integrating the work of both the layout team and various tool-line owners working on a given project as well as coordinating the efforts of the design team using the model for planning and conceptual work.
Hand off the completed model/as-built to their facilities counterpart to maintain for future projects.
Scope of responsibility will include overall accuracy & completeness of the models, physical & operational spatial coordination, and timely implementation and resolution of any issues according to an aggressive schedule.
Work with engineers, trades, and designer professionals to develop an integrated model delivery approach and lead clash detection sessions with a focus on optimizing the construction process and driving quality and value.
Introduce, support and oversee the implementation of industry-leading BIM technology.
Identify conflicts with Architectural, Structural and other MEP design elements and present well thought-out and cost-effective solutions.
Utilize laser scans, point clouds, and other photogrammetry data for design validation, clash detection, and as-built documentation to ensure model accuracy and identify discrepancies between design and existing conditions.
Contribute to the development and implementation of standardized BIM processes, workflows, and data management practices to improve efficiency and consistency across projects.
What You’ll Bring
Minimum 8 years of experience working in Revit and Navisworks; at least 5 years hands-on experience working with trades on construction of high-tech infrastructure and operational facilities (semiconductor, solar, battery, etc.).
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or electrical engineering preferred. Background in Civil/Structural Engineering or Architecture is also acceptable.
Proven expertise in working with workshared cloud models on Autodesk BIM360 or similar CDE applications.
Proficiency in AutoCAD, IFC, data interoperability and general awareness of other BIM and parametric design applications. Mastery preferred.
Experience with scripting and/or visual programming automation tools (Dynamo and Python), interfacing with construction and cost control on quantity takeoffs and alignment between Work Breakdown Structure based cost tracking and BIM parameters.
Possess a strong understanding of laser scanning principles and techniques, with demonstrated expertise in processing and utilizing point cloud data generated from reality capture applications for BIM model development, clash detection, and quality control.
Experience with data processing and visualization techniques to extract meaningful insights from BIM data and communicate them effectively.
Additional Requirements:
Language of operation is English.
The position will be based at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, in Grünheide.
