BIM Modeler

Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges. An independent organization of creative thinkers and innovative doers collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our clients' ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for a better, more resilient future. We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career.

Our Structural Engineering practice collaborates with architects, building owners, and builders to design elegant solutions for projects of all types, sizes, and levels of complexity. From designing the world’s tallest buildings and most extended spans to engineering inventive “jewel-box” structures and designing major expansion projects, we continually seek the best balance among the demands of form, function, sustainability, constructability, schedule, and budget.

The Role

The BIM Modeler will perform the functions of creating project deliverable drawings and models using the current versions of available software. Work includes 3D parametric modeling, representation and annotation of 3D information in 2D drawings, and 2D detailing for complex projects. The candidate should be able to work in a self-directed manner in all aspects of the building design and document production process.

Responsibilities
• This role requires managing multiple projects concurrently on a weekly basis, with shifting priorities depending on client and project needs.

• Create 3D BIM models to a high level of accuracy.
• Develop plans, sections, elevations and details from a 3D BIM model for projects of all sizes and technical complexities.
• Clearly annotate, dimension and detail production drawings in conformance to Thornton Tomasetti standards and practices.
• Setup and manage large sheets sets including revisions and markups for each project. Plot drawings to pdf, dwg, or to paper plots.
• Assist and direct BIM workflow.
• Set up and geo-locate multiple models for a single project.
• Create 3D views or renderings on an as-needed basis for marketing or project use.
• Use advanced tools such as Navisworks for project collaboration across multiple disciplines in a BIM environment.
• Interface with engineers, our clients, and other consultants through clear communication and drawings. Interact with our clients to coordinate BIM modeling content and approaches, model exchanges, quality control, and delivery.
• Continued development of “best practices” for BIM.

Requirements
• Degree in related discipline (Civil Engineering, Architecture, Interior Design, etc.) is preferred.
• Experience and understanding of REVIT Structure, AutoCAD Architecture, and their supporting technologies. Experience and understanding of interfacing with REVIT Architecture and MEP is preferred.
• Excellent understanding of 3D parametric modeling to maximize the benefits of an integrated building model.
• Thorough understanding of building components for modeling structural components intelligently and efficiently to ensure the integrity of the structural model.
• Working knowledge of drawing production, standard construction techniques and principals.
• Excellent skills in relation to rendering and graphic formats and their manipulation and output.
• Experience in Rhino, Grasshopper, TEKLA, and data exchanges between BIM platforms is preferred.
