Overview

We are seeking an experienced Structural BIM Modeler with strong Tekla Structures expertise to support a growing residential construction company specializing in one-to-three-story concrete waterfront homes. In this role, you will create accurate 3D structural models that drive BIM-based estimating by generating precise material quantity takeoffs directly from the model. Accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail are essential, as the models will be used for estimating concrete, masonry, and reinforcement materials on high-value residential projects. This is a long-term remote opportunity with the potential to grow alongside an expanding modeling team.

Schedule:

• Full-time (40 hours per week), Eastern Standard Time (Florida timezone) Flexible from 7 AM - 8 PM EST

Responsibilities

• Develop accurate 3D structural BIM models using Tekla Structures
• Model structural concrete and masonry components, including: Footings and foundations, Grade beams, Cast-in-place concrete, Precast concrete elements, CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls, and Reinforcing steel (rebar)
• Generate material quantity takeoffs directly from the BIM model
• Produce accurate quantities for: CMU block counts, Rebar quantities, Concrete volumes, Mortar, and Grout/cell fill
• Review structural drawings and translate them into accurate constructible models
• Maintain company modeling standards and detailing practices
• Collaborate with project leadership to incorporate revisions and improve modeling workflows
• Deliver completed models within established project timelines while maintaining a high level of accuracy

Requirements

• Proven experience using Tekla Structures is a must
• Strong experience with CMU and masonry modeling tools (Portfolio required)
• Solid understanding of residential structural concrete construction
• Ability to interpret structural engineering drawings and specifications
• Experience producing material quantity takeoffs from BIM models
• Strong understanding of rebar detailing and concrete modeling best practices
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to modeling accuracy
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Excellent time management and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience modeling residential concrete or masonry structures
• Familiarity with BIM-based estimating workflows
• Experience supporting estimating or preconstruction teams
• Background in structural engineering, drafting, or construction technology

Scope of Work

• Structural modeling only (no architectural, wood framing, or steel framing)
• Residential projects ranging from approximately 4,000–25,000 sq. ft.
• One-to-three-story concrete homes
• Expected modeling targets: Simple projects: ~10 hours | Medium projects: ~20 hours | Complex projects: ~30 hours
• Tekla licenses, project drawings, and modeling templates will be provided

Ideal Candidate

• Highly proficient in Tekla Structures with strong structural modeling experience
• Detail-oriented and committed to producing highly accurate models and material takeoffs
• Able to balance speed with precision to meet project deadlines
• Comfortable working independently within established modeling standards
• Interested in growing with a company expanding its BIM and estimating capabilities

Independent Contractor Perks

• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
• Health Insurance Coverage for eligible locations
