BIM DESIGNER

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of highquality drinking water managing wastewater and stormwater and reducing air noise and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country with nearly 6000 employees. DEPs water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the systems 2000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City. The Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction (BEDC) currently has $4.2B of active construction contracts $9.4B of design contracts and another $10.5B of future projects projected in the 10year commitment plan under the responsibility and management of the bureau. The projects BEDC implements allow DEP to continue to operate and maintain an exemplary water supply system.

BEDCs InHouse Design (IHD) Directorate consists of two units. The core IHD unit consists of seven engineering sections corresponding to the respective engineering functions they perform. This includes the Architectural Site Civil Structural Process Mechanical/HVAC Water Tunnel Mechanical Systems BIM/CADD and Electrical sections. Each engineering section prepares design and construction documents including engineering plans and specifications for the construction of water supply sewer and wastewater treatment infrastructure which are of the highest priority for the Agency. The second unit Engineering Services includes the Quality Assurance Laboratory Services Specifications/Standard Operating Procedures and Sustainability sections. This unit focuses on the format of contract documents standard operating procedures and quality reviews and inspections. Both IHD units support DEP operating bureaus capital construction requirements in a manner consistent with BEDCs core values of safety schedule quality and customer service.

The BIM/ CADD section is responsible for creating/designing new structures as well as renovation for existing structures using the latest BIM/CAD technology. The BIM/ CADD section is responsible for developing and maintaining engineering concept designs using BIM and CAD software for new and existing structures. IHDs BIM/ CADD section uses the current BIM/ CAD technology to streamline engineering design processes and is responsible for coordinating with the various disciplines to ensure accuracy of the models that will be used for design bid process and construction.

BEDC seeks to hire two Engineering Technician 4 BIM Designers for the IHD BIM/CADD Section located in Queens NY. The BIM Designers will work in a multidisciplined engineering BIM/ CADD design section that serves the needs of municipal agencies within DEP that provides engineering drawings specification and other documents related to the design of new or existing facilities. Under the supervision of the lead design engineer and the section manager the selected candidates will assist in the delivery of capital projects through the design phase by preparing engineering models and documents for large projects for water and wastewater pumping stations and treatment facilities which are of the highest priority for the agency. Work shall include preparing said engineering drawings for water supply facilities water tunnels wastewater pumping stations treatment systems and other miscellaneous facilities through the use of Revit AutoCAD Civil3D and other BIM/ CAD related software. Other responsibilities include field investigations and utilizing 3D laser scanning for capturing existing conditions. The BIM Designers responsibilities may also include performing similar functions to review and oversee staff designs and models prepared by outsourced engineering firms for similar facilities.

Under general supervision with latitude for independent action and decisionmaking the selected candidates will be responsible for preparing engineering or architectural designs for review by the professional engineers or architects and may oversee staff engaged in correlative activities. Furthermore the selected candidates will prepare 2D and/or 3D building information models with related software from data with or without sketches reviews and interprets drawings and specifications performs field inspections and makes calculations. These tasks may require the application of geometric trigonometric and algebraic principles formulas and techniques prepares reports memos and correspondence maintains office records of drawings plans maps surveys and inspection data extracts data from various sources e.g. manuals standard reference guides field notes reports etc. The BIM Designers will be expected to be independently capable of applying welldefined methods and principles to resolve issues that may arise.

The BIM Designers will be also responsible for reading and interpreting complex models and drawings comparing with BIM/ CAD standards and makes corrections as required. Under the direction of the section manager the selected candidates will perform or assist with BIM/CAD templates setup project technology planning assist with the generation of BIM/CAD standards and implementation plans and other technology related plans protocols or workflows. The BIM Designers additional tasks include working to maintain BIM quality and fidelity adherence to BIM plans and adhering to modeling and information standards. Additional responsibilities will include implementation of effective information protocols and workflows between internal project teams and external consultants. Likewise the selected candidates will coordinate with firm wide design technology section to develop document and communicate best practices for BIM standards templates and content. The BIM Designers must be familiar with advanced architecture engineering and construction industry practices and familiar with MEP 3D coordination processes. The selected BIM Designers will perform clash detection develop 4D/ 5D models construction sequencing analysis and will work with 3D laser scanners virtual/ augmented reality devices and other related technologies in conjunction with related software packages.
