PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- 5+ years of professional experience in BIM coordination, with multidisciplinary experience on high rise projects
- Experience modeling multiple disciplines (e.g., architecture, structural, MEP)
- Experience with owning BIM coordination through construction administration on multiple large-scale projects (high rises, factories, data centers, etc) and familiarity with means and methods of construction
- Proficiency in BIM authoring and coordination tools, including Revit (advanced level), Navisworks, and related plugins
- Certification in BIM (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional in Revit for Architectural Design/Structure/MEP, or AGC BIM Certificate)
- Knowledge of advanced BIM integrations, such as reality capture (e.g., laser scanning with Trimble or Leica) or VR/AR visualizations
- Design experience in architecture, engineering or a related field
- Experience with Siemens NX
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- This position is based in Starbase, TX and requires being onsite - remote work not considered
- Must be willing to travel to various SpaceX locations for mission critical projects
- Flexible to work extended hours and/or weekends to align with residential project deadlines and site operations
