Feyen Zylstra is a team of hardworking doers and thinkers proud to use our brains and brawn to solve the complex problems associated with the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical and low voltage systems. We tend to work in industries like healthcare, industrial manufacturing, commercial, and data centers where our customer benefit most from our technical expertise and the experience we provide them.

We exist to have a positive impact on the lives of people. This starts with our FZers and a commitment to providing safe and energizing work environments, opportunities to learn and grow, and great pay and benefits. It then moves to our customers and a passion for helping them solve their most challenging problems. When we are successful in meeting the needs of our employees and our customers, we have the opportunity to have a positive impact well beyond ourselves in each of the communities where we live and work.

As a key contributor to our electrical projects, the BIM Coordinator is responsible for creating detailed, accurate, and easy to use layout drawings and 3D models of electrical systems consistent with company standards, commitments and project goals. 

What We’re Looking for:

• A Master Communicator. Your ability to effectively communicate is one of your strongest assets. Since most of your time is spent collaborating, you aren’t afraid to speak up in a meeting or pick up the phone and have a conversation. Experience will tell you that some of those conversations will involve taking in tough feedback, but in the end, you’re able to focus on the common goal and influence progress.
• A Relationship Manager. Whether it’s with a GC, Project Managers, other trades, or coworkers, you realize how important good working relationships are for the success of a project. You are easily accessible, reliable, and proactively share the good and the bad. You treat everyone with respect and listen to gain understanding.

• A Problem Solver: When there’s a tough challenge, a project goes sideways, or an emergency strikes, you roll up your sleeves to collaborate and get the job done. In those moments, your skills of prioritization, creativity, and ability to act shine. Your ability to solve tough problems creates trust with both customers and co-workers. 
• A Scorekeeper. You understand the importance of measuring, tracking, and speaking up, especially when it comes to budgetary issues. You hold yourself accountable to meet project goals and maintain customer satisfaction.

• Process Oriented. You recognize that problems can be mitigated through proper use of processes and upholding standards. You leverage technology to enhance the process and maintain a source of truth for everyone.
