• Bachelor’s degree in Drafting, Design Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field.  Relevant experience is defined as 12+ years in creating or modifying part, assembly, facility, or installation engineering drawings, or a master’s degree with 10+ years of relevant experience. Additional relevant experience may be substituted in lieu of degree.  

• Must possess advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit software, including family creation, modeling techniques, and data management.

• Strong understanding of BIM principles, workflows, and standards.

• Solid knowledge of construction methods and building codes (relevant to undergrounds is big plus)

• Experience working with a BIM Manager on facility projects and experience in executing BIM Execution Plans

• Proficiency in BIM Software such as Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, BIM360, etc.

• Experience with digital twin technologies and 3D modeling and simulation applications.

• Understanding of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and control systems.

• Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills to work effectively across multi-disciplinary teams.

Preferred Skills, Experience, and Certification:

• Experience with Dynamo for Revit automation and complex geometry generation.

• Experience with visualization software like Unreal, 3ds Max, or Enscape for high-quality renderings.

• Experience or understanding of above and below ground facilities.

• Experience with industrial IoT platforms, SCADA systems, BMS, ICS, PLC.

• Working knowledge of protective engineering or physical force protection measures.

• Certificate of Management – Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM).

At Leidos, we don’t just build models—we build missions. You’ll be part of a team pushing the limits of infrastructure intelligence in service of national security. Innovation thrives here, and your work will influence tactical decision-making, resilience strategies, and system integrity. Ready to leave a legacy underground and above?
