Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical (HVAC) BIM Designer – Shop Drawings & Coordination (US Projects) | Remote Colombia

NEW REMOTE OPPORTUNITY FOR AEC & MECHANICAL PROFESSIONALS IN COLOMBIA!

Work directly with leading US-based engineering & construction firms delivering high-impact commercial and residential projects.

Competitive Pay in USD | Full-Time (NY Schedule) | 100% Remote (Colombia)

We are hiring a skilled Mechanical (HVAC) BIM Designer to lead the modeling, clash detection, and shop drawing production for commercial, multi-unit residential, and mixed-use projects in the United States.In this role, you will go beyond basic technical drafting to actively resolve complex coordination challenges. Modeling directly in Revit 2026, you will detail HVAC ductwork, mechanical piping, equipment, and Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCPs), coordinating elements such as diffusers and grilles alongside plumbing, fire protection, electrical, and structural systems. Working daily with Navisworks for clash detection, you will adapt designs across various system typologies (single ports, VRV systems, PTAC units) and coordinate wall/slab openings and sleeves before field fabrication. This is an ideal position for Mechanical Engineers, Mechatronics Engineers, or BIM Specialists in Colombia with strong Revit MEP expertise, fluent English communication, and hands-on experience in MEP coordination.

What We Offer

• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in Colombia directly for a U.S. client.
• USD Compensation: Competitive rate via direct international payment.
• Full-Time Schedule: Monday–Friday | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (EST / NY Time).
• Paid Time Off: 18 PTO days annually.
• Professional Growth: Direct exposure to advanced U.S. building codes (IMC, SMACNA), BIM Level 2 workflows, and cutting-edge mechanical fabrication tools.

What You’ll Do

• Model detailed 3D mechanical systems using Revit 2026, including HVAC ductwork, central equipment, piping, and accessories based on engineering design packages.
• Model Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP) and coordinate diffusers, grilles, and return air openings with architectural layouts.
• Run clash detection analysis in Navisworks as a core daily function, resolving spatial conflicts against structural, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical trades.
• Coordinate builder openings, sleeves, and penetrations with structural and architectural teams to avoid costly field rework.
• Adapt mechanical designs to support various HVAC system setups (VRV/VRF, single ports, split systems, PTAC units) and regional U.S. construction practices.
• Ensure all designs strictly adhere to relevant mechanical codes and standards (IMC, SMACNA, ASHRAE).
• Incorporate project revisions and design updates resulting from trade coordination meetings alongside the in-house Project Manager.
• Complete drawing annotations, elevation tags, section callouts, and graphic details to prepare fabrication- and installation-ready shop drawings.

What You’ll Bring

• English Level: Advanced Technical & Conversational English (B2+ / C1 mandatory) for daily written and verbal coordination with U.S. project teams.
• Experience: 3–5+ years of hands-on BIM modeling and drafting experience specifically for mechanical/HVAC systems in commercial, multi-family, or mixed-use developments.
• Software Proficiency: Expert proficiency in Autodesk Revit (MEP modeling), working knowledge of Navisworks (clash identification and grouping), and basic AutoCAD; familiarity with Trimble SysQue or MSUITE is a strong plus.
• Technical Core: In-depth knowledge of HVAC duct routing, air distribution, equipment sizing/clearances, clash resolution workflows, and penetrations/sleeves coordination.
• Codes & Standards: Practical familiarity with IMC (International Mechanical Code), SMACNA standards, and imperial unit drawing sets.
• Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Ingeniería Mecánica), Electromechanical Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or equivalent practical mechanical design experience.

Tools & Key Skills

• Tools: Autodesk Revit 2026 (MEP) • Navisworks • AutoCAD • Trimble SysQue • MSUITE • Bluebeam Revu
• Technical Areas: HVAC Modeling • Ductwork & Piping • Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP) • Clash Detection • Mechanical Shop Drawings • Wall & Slab Sleeves • VRV/VRF Systems • PTAC Units • SMACNA • IMC Standards
