Industrial Revit Designer - Infrastructure at BlastOne International in Columbus, Ohio

Job description

• The Industrial Revit Designer is responsible for developing and coordinating detailed multidisciplinary BIM models and construction documentation for BlastOne's industrial infrastructure projects.
• This is not primarily an architectural drafting position.
• The successful candidate will work at the intersection of industrial equipment, buildings, mechanical systems, electrical systems and construction, translating engineering requirements and equipment designs into coordinated, buildable facility models.
• You will work closely with BlastOne engineers, project managers, equipment specialists, customers, consultants and subcontractors throughout the design and construction lifecycle.
• The role requires someone who can understand complex industrial systems, identify conflicts early and take ownership of developing practical design solutions.
• Develop accurate models quickly without sacrificing quality
• Understand how industrial systems actually work—not simply how to draw them
• Anticipate constructability and coordination issues before they reach site
• Take ownership rather than waiting for every detail to be provided
• Communicate effectively with engineers, project managers and field teams
• Balance engineering requirements with practical construction realities
• Work effectively across several disciplines simultaneously
• Produce drawings and models that construction teams can confidently build from
• Help improve the speed, quality and repeatability of BlastOne's infrastructure design process
• You are likely to succeed in this role if you are the person others turn to when a Revit model becomes complicated.
• You are comfortable working with large industrial models containing equipment, ductwork, piping, structural systems, electrical systems and architecture simultaneously.
• You understand that an industrial BIM model isn't finished simply because everything fits on screen.
• Is this the simplest practical way to build it?
• That combination of Revit capability and industrial thinking is what we are looking for.

• Coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and process systems within the overall facility model
• Work with engineers and subcontractors to integrate multiple disciplines into a coordinated design
• Use Navisworks and other coordination tools to identify and resolve clashes
• Participate in design and constructability reviews
• Coordinate models through Autodesk Construction Cloud
• Manage design inputs from external engineering consultants and trade partners
• Identify missing information, inconsistencies and potential design conflicts before they impact construction

• Maintenance clearances
• Operator access
• Building egress
• Vehicle travel paths
• Forklift and mobile-equipment movement
• Structural interfaces
• Ductwork and piping routing
• Service access

• Installation access
• The objective is not simply to create an accurate model—it is to create a facility that can be built, operated and maintained effectively.
• Equipment Model Integration
• Import and coordinate equipment models from SolidWorks, Inventor and other 3D platforms
• Simplify and convert equipment models where required for effective BIM integration
• Maintain appropriate model detail and performance
• Position equipment accurately based on engineering and operational requirements
• Design Development & Problem Solving
• Support projects from early concept through construction and commissioning
• Work with engineers and project teams to solve technical and spatial design challenges
• Respond to field conditions and construction RFIs
• Incorporate approved design changes into project models and documentation
• Support installation teams with drawings, model views and technical information
• Help continuously improve BlastOne's BIM standards, Revit families, templates and design processes
• Visualization
• Internal design reviews
• Customer presentations
• Constructability reviews
• Installation planning
• Project coordination

Requirements

• Software
• Autodesk Revit 2024+
• Navisworks
• Autodesk Construction Cloud / ACC
• AutoCAD
• SolidWorks and/or Autodesk Inventor
• Equipment model conversion and optimization for Revit
• The position requires advanced proficiency across the core Autodesk platforms currently used by the Infrastructure design team.
• Industrial Design Experience
• Strong experience with industrial or manufacturing environments, ideally involving several of the following:
• Shipyards
• Heavy manufacturing facilities
• Industrial processing facilities
• Blast and paint facilities
• Mechanical systems
• Industrial ventilation
• Dust collection
• Large ductwork
• Piping systems
• Material handling
• Electrical layouts
• Large equipment installation
• Vehicle and equipment movement
• Candidates should have practical experience with industrial building systems, process integration, ventilation, equipment clearances, maintenance access, duct and pipe routing, material handling and electrical modeling.
• Demonstrated professional Revit experience
• Significant BIM/modeling experience in industrial, manufacturing or complex engineering environments
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary coordination
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs and equipment documentation
• Strong spatial and technical problem-solving capability
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving design-build environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work effectively with engineering, project management and construction teams
• Industrial ventilation or dust-collection experience
• Experience supporting design-build construction
• Field or construction experience
• Experience developing Revit standards, families or BIM workflows

Skills

Required

• Navisworks
• Autodesk Construction Cloud / ACC
• AutoCAD

Preferred

• Field or construction experience

Benefits

• This role provides the opportunity to work on industrial projects with significant real-world impact.
• BlastOne is involved in major shipbuilding, defense, manufacturing and infrastructure projects across North America and internationally.
• As the United States expands and modernizes its shipbuilding capacity, BlastOne is helping design and build the infrastructure required to support that growth.
• You will have the opportunity to see projects progress from early concepts and 3D models through fabrication, installation, commissioning and ultimately operation.
• For someone who enjoys complex industrial design, this is an opportunity to work on projects that are large, technically challenging and built in the real world.
