5D BIM Specialist - Independent Contractor Location: Ukraine, RemoteEngagement Type: Independent Contractor Agreement for Provision of Services (long-term)Industry: Mission-Critical Facilities, Data Centers Ehvert Mission Critical, a business unit within Salas O'Brien, a US-based company is seeking an experienced independent contractor (self-employed professional) for a long-term contractual engagement. This role is not limited to a single project and involves ongoing collaboration based on business needs. You will provide services as an independent business entity under a formal independent contractor agreement. How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit their resume in English detailing their relevant experience. Role Summary:Ehvert Mission Critical, a business unit within Salas O'Brien, is seeking an experienced 5D BIM Specialist (Assemble) to support large-scale hyperscale and AI data center projects across North America. This role focuses on model-based quantities, design change analysis, and BIM data quality, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary BIM/VDC, estimating, and project teams. As an experienced 5D BIM Specialist (Assemble), you will support large-scale US data center projects by managing model-based quantities, cost-impacting design changes, and data integrity across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. This role focuses on extracting, validating, and tracking quantities directly from BIM models using Assemble, enabling accurate estimating, cost forecasting, and informed decision-making throughout fast-paced design development. The specialist collaborates closely with BIM/VDC teams, discipline leads, and estimating or cost management teams to ensure that design changes are immediately reflected in quantities and downstream cost models, which is critical for large, repeatable, mission-critical data center programs in the US. This role offers the opportunity to participate in complex, high-impact data center projects for global clients such as Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, and Google. What We Offer:

• Experience in a high-tech industry completing work for an international company.
• Unique, cutting-edge data center projects.
• Dynamic collaboration partnering with a team of professionals focused on engineering.
• Competitive hourly rate in USD.
• Ability to collaborate remotely.
• Supportive dynamic environment.
• English classes made available.

What You Will Do:Model-Based Quantification & 5D BIM (Core Focus):

• Extract, manage, and validate model-based quantities from multidisciplinary BIM models (Structural, Architectural, MEP) using Assemble.
• Leverage strong Revit model understanding to ensure quantities are derived from correctly structured and modeled elements.
• Create and maintain consistent quantity breakdowns aligned with data center scopes (foundations, superstructure, MEP systems, equipment zones, phases).
• Ensure quantity accuracy and traceability across model revisions and design milestones.

Design Change & Impact Analysis:

• Perform model comparison and quantity change analysis between Revit model versions.
• Identify and communicate quantity and cost-impacting changes to estimating and project teams.
• Support rapid design iteration typical of hyperscale and AI data center projects.

BIM Data Quality & Coordination:

• Review Revit models for parameter completeness, modeling consistency, and classification.
• Coordinate with BIM authors to resolve issues that impact quantities and downstream analysis.
• Support internal BIM and 5D standards aligned with US client and program requirements.

Collaboration with Estimating & Cost Teams:

• Export structured quantity data to Excel or other cost tools for pricing and analysis.
• Support early design estimating, option comparisons, and value engineering.
• Act as the connection point between BIM/VDC teams and cost-focused stakeholders.

Reporting & Data Visualization:

• Prepare clear quantity reports, change summaries, and dashboards for internal teams and US-based clients.
• Use Power BI (where available) to visualize quantities, trends, and design changes across model versions.
• Support repeatability and auditability of quantities across large, program-level data center projects.

What We Expect:Core Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience working with BIM models in a production, coordination, estimating, or VDC capacity.
• Experience on large-scale, technically complex projects (data centers, mission-critical, industrial, or large commercial preferred).

Software & Technical Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit (required).
• Ability to understand model structure, parameters, categories, and modeling logic.
• Experience with Assemble or Bexel is preferred, but candidates with strong Revit skills and willingness to learn Assemble or Bexel are encouraged.
• Advanced Excel skills for quantity analysis, exports, and validation.
• Experience with Power BI is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows is a plus.
• Scheduling tools (Primavera P6 or similar) are not required.

BIM & 5D Understanding:

• Understanding of how BIM data supports quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, and design decision-making.
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents and relate them to BIM content.
• Familiarity with data center construction logic (MEP-intensive systems, repeatable modules, phased delivery) is highly desirable.

Communication & Other Skills:

• English proficiency B1 or higher.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical information to non-BIM stakeholders.
• High attention to detail and analytical mindset.
• Ability to manage multiple models, packages, and deadlines in parallel.
• Comfortable working with distributed teams and US-based clients.

Why Us?

• Cutting-edge data center projects in a fast-growing industry.
• Opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading professionals and firms.
• Competitive terms of the contract.
• A dynamic environment fostering creativity through exposure to diverse technologies and experiences. This ranges from designing energy-efficient facilities, site supervision for multi-million-dollar facilities, to the production of digital twins, drawings, three-dimensional building modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and the development of custom control software.
