Description:
Kalos Services is seeking a senior-level BIM and modeling professional to work within our Estimation and Preconstruction department. This role supports commercial and residential projects with a heavy emphasis on existing buildings, retrofit work, and sub-trade coordination.
This is not a design-only BIM role and not an architectural modeling position. The focus is constructability, coordination, estimating clarity, and risk reduction for real-world projects. The majority of work is as a sub-trade on occupied or existing facilities, with occasional ground-up projects.
This role will also support work for our sister company, Blue Rabbit Consulting, including building science-driven projects, energy modeling, and performance analysis
Location
Florida preferred
Central Florida strongly preferred
Compensation
? Salary range: $90,000 to $105,000 per year, depending on experience and demonstrated capability
Primary Responsibilities
• Develop and manage BIM models primarily using Autodesk Revit for sub-trade scope, including HVAC, plumbing, refrigeration, electrical, and controls
• Produce and interpret AutoCAD drawings for backgrounds, legacy documents, and coordination support
• Aggregate models and perform clash detection using Navisworks
• Participate in coordination workflows with GC-led and engineer-led BIM teams
• Resolve clashes and constructability issues in collaboration with estimators, engineers, and external modelers
• Create SketchUp models for early-phase studies, residential layouts, retrofit visualization, and fast concept development
• Support estimating efforts with quantity takeoffs, scope clarification models, and constructability visuals
• Model existing buildings where documentation is incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent
• Support limited ground-up projects when required, though the majority of work is retrofit and existing facilities
• Assist with solar layout studies, energy modeling, and basic building performance analysis
• Collaborate closely with Kalos Estimation leadership and internal software development related to Unity Build Estimation
• Manage tasks, milestones, and coordination workflows using ClickUp
• Support projects across both Kalos Services and Blue Rabbit Consulting as needed
Requirements:
• Five or more years of professional experience in BIM and construction modeling
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit for commercial construction
• Practical working experience with Navisworks for coordination and clash detection
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for construction documentation and background management
• High level of comfort with SketchUp for quick modeling, residential work, and conceptual studies
• Experience modeling MEP systems as a sub-trade rather than as a prime designer
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and field conditions
• Experience coordinating with general contractors, engineers, and other trade modelers
• Direct experience working on existing buildings, renovations, and retrofit projects
Reality of the Work
Most projects involve imperfect information. Drawings are often incomplete, outdated, or wrong. This role requires the ability to take field data, scans, and partial documentation and turn them into models that support estimating accuracy, coordination, and construction decisions
Additional Technical Capabilities
• Experience capturing LiDAR scans of existing buildings and sites
• Ability to process, register, and interpret point cloud data
• Experience integrating point cloud data into Revit or other BIM workflows for existing building modeling
Bonus and Differentiating Experience
• Experience capturing and analyzing thermal imagery for building diagnostics, energy analysis, or system evaluation
• Familiarity with building science concepts related to HVAC performance, moisture, energy, and controls
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) operation
• Experience using aerial drone imagery or photogrammetry to support BIM, site analysis, or existing conditions documentation
• Background supporting estimating or preconstruction teams
• Experience working alongside or supporting internally developed software tools
• Residential modeling experience in addition to commercial work Tools and Platforms
• Autodesk Revit
• Autodesk Navisworks
• Autodesk AutoCAD
• SketchUp
• ClickUp for project and task management
• Unity Build Estimation, Kalos’ internal estimating and SaaS platform
• Energy modeling, solar analysis, and diagnostic tools as required by project scope
