BIM/CAD Specialist - Concrete

Position Summary:

We are seeking a CAD/BIM Specialist for Structural Concrete Modeling to join our team in our Westerville office. This role is responsible for creating, managing, and coordinating accurate 3D structural concrete models from bid documents to support estimating and preconstruction activities. The primary focus will be developing models that assist estimators with quantity takeoffs and scope verification for structural concrete projects. This position works closely with estimators, preconstruction staff, and project teams to improve bid accuracy and project planning. Opportunities will also be provided for cross-training in AGTEK modeling and On-Screen Takeoff (OST) software.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Develop and maintain accurate 3D structural concrete models based on bid drawings, specifications, and contract documents.

• Generate quantity takeoffs from models for foundations, footings, walls, slabs, columns, beams, elevated decks, and other structural concrete elements.

• Review and analyze construction documents to identify scope requirements, design discrepancies, and quantity impacts.

• Support estimators by providing detailed quantity reports and model-based takeoff information.

• Update models as bid documents are revised throughout the estimating process.

• Review, manage, and manipulate electronic design files received from owners, architects, and engineers.

• Interface with estimators, project managers, and operations personnel to understand project requirements and implement modeling solutions.

• Support ongoing project planning, constructability reviews, and preconstruction efforts through effective modeling practices.

• Participate in cross-training opportunities for AGTEK modeling and On-Screen Takeoff (OST) to expand estimating support capabilities.

• Maintain organized project files, models, and quantity takeoff documentation.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Proficiency in CAD and modeling software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or similar construction modeling applications.

• Experience developing models from construction documents for quantity takeoff and estimating purposes.

• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other estimating support tools.

Knowledge & Experience: 

• Understanding of structural concrete construction methods, sequencing, and detailing.

• Ability to read and interpret construction documents, structural drawings, specifications, and bid packages.

• Experience performing or supporting quantity takeoffs and estimating workflows.

• Strong experience with 3D modeling in a construction, engineering, or preconstruction environment.

• Familiarity with AGTEK, On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Bluebeam, or similar estimating and takeoff software is a plus.

Soft Skills:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently.

• High attention to detail and accuracy.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities in a fast-paced estimating environment.

Benefits:
Kokosing offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, life, and disability insurance, paid time off and a 401K plan.
