Job Description

Job Title: Licensed Journeyman Electrician – Transition into BIM/VDC

Location: Lawrence, KS (in-office only)
Pay Rate: $30/hr, DOE (with advancement opportunities)

Company Overview

At VDC Specialists , we merge field expertise with cutting-edge construction technology. Since 2018, we’ve supported over 30 million sq. ft. of data centers, hospitals, labs, airports, and stadiums for some of the nation’s largest electrical contractors. Our mission: build practical, buildable digital models that crews can trust in the field.

Now, we’re looking for licensed journeyman electricians who are ready to bring their field knowledge into a new environment — one that’s less physical but equally impactful.

Position Summary

This role is designed for a licensed journeyman electrician who has spent years in the field (bending conduit, pulling and terminating wire, interpreting one-lines and specs) and is ready to transition into a BIM/VDC (Building Information Modeling / Virtual Design & Construction) role.

You’ll trade your tools for a desk, applying your NEC expertise and field intuition to ensure our models match real-world installations. Don’t worry if you’ve never opened Revit or Navisworks — we’ll train you on the software. What matters is your hands-on field knowledge, problem-solving ability, and openness to learning technology .

Key Responsibilities

  • Apply your field experience to validate electrical models for accuracy and constructability
  • Review and confirm homerun circuit groupings, one-lines, layouts, and box sizing
  • Flag NEC compliance issues (voltage drop, derating, conductor sizing, etc.) before they reach the jobsite
  • Collaborate with modelers, designers, and contractors to minimize errors and rework
  • Learn and operate BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam) with provided training
  • Participate in project coordination meetings and provide field-informed insight
  • Document findings, issues, and recommendations clearly for project teams

Qualifications

  • Licensed Journeyman Electrician (Kansas or reciprocal state license) – required
  • Multiple years of on-site electrical experience (commercial/industrial preferred)
  • Proficient in: bending conduit, pulling/terminating wire, validating plans and specs
  • Strong knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
  • Comfort with reading/validating one-lines, specs, and engineered drawings
  • Openness to learning computer software (basic computer literacy required; we’ll provide training)
  • Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset

Why This Role is Different

  • Less physical, more strategic : Put down the tools, but keep using your field knowledge every day
  • Career growth : Pathways to lead teams and move into senior BIM/VDC roles
  • Stability & schedule : Monday–Friday, 8a–4p, office-based in Lawrence, KS
  • Impact : Help shape models that directly reduce rework and wasted labor on multimillion-dollar projects

Compensation & Benefits

  • Pay: $30–38/hr (DOE), with growth opportunities
  • Paid Health Insurance
  • Paid Holidays & PTO
  • Retirement Plan with Company Match (no vesting schedule)
  • Overtime Pay
  • Performance-based Bonuses

Schedule

  • 8-hour shift, Monday–Friday (8a–4p)
  • In-office only (remote work is not available)

How to Apply

If you’re a licensed journeyman ready to leverage your experience in a new way, please send your resume and a brief note about your interest to aknapp@vdcspecialists.com .

Take your field expertise from the jobsite to the future of construction. Join VDC Specialists and build what’s next.

Pay: $30.00 - $38.00 per hour
