Senior BIM Modeler (Carpentry)
Build It Digitally Before It's Built in the Field
Location: El Dorado Hills, CA
At Roebbelen Contracting, we believe the best projects are built twice, first in the model, then in the field.
We're seeking a Senior BIM Modeler (Carpentry) to become the technical leader for carpentry modeling across our commercial and K-12 construction projects. This role is ideal for someone who understands both construction technology and real-world building practices.
If you've spent time coordinating framing systems, detailing concrete formwork, modeling rebar, supporting prefabrication, or working closely with self-perform construction teams, this is an opportunity to elevate your impact and help shape the future of construction technology.
Why This Role Is Different
Many BIM positions focus solely on coordination.
This role goes much deeper.
You'll serve as Roebbelen's subject matter expert for carpentry-related scopes, helping project teams solve real construction challenges before they reach the field.
You'll influence:
-
Framing constructability
-
Concrete formwork planning
-
Rebar coordination
-
Prefabrication strategies
-
Layout accuracy
-
Self-perform operations
- Project efficiency and quality
Your models won't sit on a server. They'll drive how projects are actually built.
