Lead Electrical BIM Designer
Recore Electrical Contractors, Gastonia, NC, United States
Who we are
Recore Electrical Contractors, Inc. is a multi-state licensed, employee-owned Electrical Services contractor, based just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. As one of the largest electrical contractors in the Charlotte Metro Area, we at Recore pride ourselves on providing the highest level of service possible.
The Career Opportunity for You
Recore Electrical Contractors is seeking a Lead Electrical BIM Designer to support its electrical engineering and BIM teams. The company performs electrical construction and design services across a wide range of industrial and commercial projects.
This role serves as the technical link between the electrical engineering team and the Revit drafting group. The position focuses on executing electrical system layouts in Revit, coordinating circuiting and lighting designs under engineer oversight, and ensuring electrical drawing packages are coordinated and ready for release.
This is not a project management or client-facing role. The position focuses on technical coordination, BIM modeling, and supporting engineering by translating design intent into clear and constructible drawings.
All design work is performed under the direction and oversight of licensed electrical engineers.
Primary Responsibilities
BIM Modeling & Production
Model electrical systems in Autodesk Revit, including power distribution, branch circuiting, lighting systems, and equipment connections
Maintain model organization, accuracy, and compliance with internal BIM standards
Support project teams with model setup, coordination, and output preparation
Participate in model federation and clash coordination using Navisworks when required
Electrical Design Support
Assist with electrical system layouts including branch circuiting, feeder routing, conduit sizing, and panel connections under engineer oversight
Execute circuiting layouts in Revit based on engineer-defined system intent and design criteria
Develop electrical layouts that reflect engineering intent while maintaining constructability and coordination with other disciplines
Identify routing conflicts or constructability challenges and coordinate solutions with engineering
Lighting Layout & Controls Coordination
Develop lighting layouts based on engineer-defined design criteria and fixture selections
Coordinate switching zones, lighting controls, emergency lighting, and egress lighting requirements
Implement revisions as architectural layouts and project requirements evolve
Engineer to Drafter Coordination
Serve as the primary technical liaison between electrical engineers and the Revit drafting team
Translate engineering direction, sketches, and redlines into modeling tasks
Provide guidance and support to drafters during project development
Drawing Package Preparation & Quality Control
Prepare electrical drawing sets for project milestone releases (30%, 60%, 90%, and IFC)
Perform first-pass QA/QC reviews to ensure drawings align with engineering intent and internal standards
Ensure engineer redlines are incorporated accurately and consistently
BIM Standards & Team Support
Apply and help maintain BIM standards, templates, and families
Provide feedback on workflow improvements and training needs
Assist with mentoring junior drafters and team members on BIM tools and electrical modeling practices
Technical Skills
Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit for electrical system modeling including power distribution, circuiting, lighting systems, and equipment connections
Familiarity with Navisworks for model federation and clash coordination workflows
Understanding of ANSI drafting standards and electrical drawing conventions
Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) sufficient to support circuiting layouts, conduit routing, and electrical system coordination under engineer oversight
General understanding of electrical design practices and construction methods in commercial or industrial environments
Skills & Qualifications
Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both engineers and drafting staff
Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain organized models and drawing sets
Ability to work collaboratively with engineers, BIM staff, and project teams
Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to identify and resolve design coordination issues
Experience
Experience with Autodesk Revit modeling required
Experience in electrical design, drafting, or electrical construction preferred
Practical familiarity with NEC-based electrical design practices preferred
Degree or training in Computer Aided Drafting, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field preferred but not required
Role Boundaries
This role does not communicate directly with customers or external consultants
This role does not manage project schedules, budgets, RFIs, or change orders
This role does not perform sealed engineering calculations or make final engineering decisions
Employee Benefits
Employee Stock Ownership participation
Company matching 401(k) plan
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Short-term and long-term disability coverageSeven paid holidays annually
Paid time off (PTO)
