What are the responsibilities and job description for the BIM Designer - Structural position at Integra?
We are seeking a highly skilled BIM Designer – Structural - to join our dynamic team. This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in structural design and a passion for using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create detailed, accurate 3D models of structural systems. The BIM Designer will collaborate with structural engineers, architects, and other disciplines to integrate and coordinate structural designs within the broader building model. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with BIM software, a solid understanding of structural systems, and excellent problem-solving skills.
Primary Responsibilities:
• Create, manage, and update 3D BIM models for structural systems (e.g., steel framing, concrete, etc.) using Inventor/SolidWorks software.
• Work closely with structural engineers, architects, and other design disciplines to ensure the structural design is fully integrated into the overall building model.
• Use BIM tools to perform clash detection, identify design conflicts, and work with other disciplines to resolve issues, ensuring smooth project execution.
• Produce structural drawings, details, and schedules directly from the BIM models, ensuring they meet project specifications, codes, and industry standards.
• Conduct regular quality control checks to ensure that models and drawings are accurate, consistent, and aligned with project standards.
• Develop and maintain structural DWG templates, part family libraries, and modeling standards to optimize workflow and ensure design consistency.
• Assist in the preparation of design submittals, technical reports, and presentations for clients, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
• Stay current with the latest trends in BIM, structural design, and software tools, and contribute to the continuous improvement of design processes and team capabilities.
• Provide technical support to project managers, engineers, and contractors to ensure proper implementation of structural designs and resolve any technical issues.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred.
• Alternatively, a technical diploma or equivalent experience in structural systems design with specialized BIM training.
• At least 3 years of experience in structural design or drafting, with a strong focus on BIM modeling and coordination.
• Proficiency in Inventor/SolidWorks is required.
• In-depth knowledge of structural systems, including steel, concrete, and wood framing, and familiarity with design and construction principles.
• Strong expertise in 3D BIM modeling, particularly in structural design.
• Familiarity with clash detection and resolution in the BIM environment.
• Experience with building codes, industry standards, and regulations related to structural design.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work across multiple disciplines and collaborate effectively.
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving approach to design challenges.
• BIM certification is preferred.
• LEED or other sustainability certifications are a plus.
