Description

We are seeking a hands-on Civil BIM Designer & Coordinator with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience to support the planning and design of large-scale, mission-critical data center campuses and associated power generation, energy storage, and utility facilities.

In this role, you will develop, coordinate, and maintain civil models using Civil 3D and AutoCAD. Your scope will include site layouts, grading, drainage, roads, and utilities, coordinating buildings with generating equipment, battery energy storage systems (BESS), water treatment plants, gas metering and conditioning facilities, substations, and cooling systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Advance feasibility, constructability, and phasing: Prepare layout, grading, routing, and earthwork options for early design reviews; incorporate noise, exhaust dispersion, heat-rejection, safety, and environmental constraints.
  • Lead civil site development: Create and maintain surfaces, grading and earthwork models, equipment and building pads, roads, alignments, profiles, and corridors.
  • Develop and coordinate plant utility systems: Model gravity and pressure networks for gas supply, cooling and process water, fire water, wastewater, electrical duct banks, and communications.
  • Integrate campus and power-generation infrastructure: Coordinate civil models with buildings, power plants, BESS, substations, water treatment plants, gas metering and conditioning facilities, cooling systems, and other site utilities.
  • Coordinate equipment, foundation, and thermal interfaces: Integrate vendor general arrangements, foundation footprints, equipment elevations, trenches, pits, and pipe-support locations with inputs from structural, geotechnical, mechanical, and electrical engineers.
  • Govern civil model data and multidisciplinary alignment: Manage Civil 3D data shortcuts, external references, coordinate systems, styles, templates, and parts libraries.
  • Drive coordination and quality: Lead model reviews, investigate clashes and spatial conflicts, communicate design changes, and track issues through resolution.
  • Deliver and improve civil BIM: Prepare plans, profiles, sections, model exports, review packages, and model-based quantities appropriate to each project phase.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum 8 years of civil design, BIM modeling, or civil infrastructure drafting experience, plus a relevant degree/diploma or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience supporting mission-critical facilities or complex industrial infrastructure across multiple disciplines.
  • Advanced Civil 3D and AutoCAD proficiency, including grading, corridors, utility networks, sheet production, data shortcuts, references, coordinate systems, and model dependencies.

Preferred Skills:

  • Direct experience with hyperscale, colocation, or other mission-critical data center campuses, from conceptual site planning through detailed design and construction coordination.
  • Experience supporting civil design and model coordination for one or more of the following: gas turbine or reciprocating engine power plants, combined-cycle or CHP facilities, BESS installations, water treatment plants, gas metering and conditioning facilities, or comparable industrial infrastructure.

Salary: $141K - $285K
