About the role
About the Team
Industrial Compute is building the world's most advanced AI infrastructure. Working alongside our capital partners, engineering teams, and construction organizations, we design and deliver large-scale, mission-critical compute campuses that power the next generation of AI. Our Design organization brings together engineering, construction, and digital design to ensure facilities are coordinated, constructible, and optimized from the earliest planning phases through deployment.
About the Role
We are seeking a BIM Designer & Coordinator to support the planning and design of large-scale industrial and mission-critical facilities. In this role, you will develop, coordinate, and maintain multidisciplinary BIM models across Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, and Structural disciplines, enabling early design validation, constructability reviews, equipment planning, and cross-functional coordination.
You will partner closely with internal engineering teams, external design consultants, contractors, and project stakeholders to produce coordinated BIM deliverables that improve design quality, reduce project risk, and support efficient execution across Industrial Compute's global infrastructure portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain conceptual and schematic BIM models for large-scale industrial and MEP-intensive facilities.
Coordinate BIM models across Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, and Structural disciplines.
Create and maintain federated models used for design reviews, spatial coordination, constructability analysis, and clash detection.
Model major building systems including equipment layouts, utility corridors, electrical rooms, mechanical rooms, structural framing, site infrastructure, and architectural constraints.
Coordinate equipment clearances, maintenance access, routing zones, shafts, risers, utility entrances, and major MEP pathways.
Translate engineering sketches, basis-of-design documents, equipment lists, one-line diagrams, and planning documentation into coordinated BIM models.
Support early design activities including test-fit studies, routing evaluations, phasing plans, utility coordination, and design option analysis.
Maintain BIM standards including model organization, file naming conventions, worksets, shared coordinates, view templates, and model health.
Support multidisciplinary coordination using Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Revizto, or similar collaboration platforms.
Prepare model views, coordination packages, exports, and documentation for design reviews and stakeholder meetings.
Support model-based quantity takeoffs, equipment tracking, asset information, room data, and design progress reporting.
Review consultant and contractor BIM deliverables for quality, coordination, completeness, and compliance with project BIM standards.
Help maintain digital design assets that support planning, design development, construction coordination, and operational handoff.
Discipline Focus Areas
Civil BIM Designer
