  • Perform clash detection, model coordination, and constructability reviews in Navisworks and Autodesk to identify and resolve conflicts early in the design and construction phases
  • Lead BIM coordination efforts between external design consultants and internal responsible engineers for multi-disciplinary projects, ensuring the seamless integration of models and data
  • Collaborate closely with project stakeholders to establish and maintain BIM standards, protocols, and workflows
  • Act as the primary BIM resource for team members, internal customers and external design consultants, addressing technical issues and optimizing BIM processes for project success
  • Work with the design and construction teams to keep a living model that will culminate in an as-built of the facility at hand

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in BIM coordination, with multidisciplinary experience on high rise projects
  • Experience modeling multiple disciplines (e.g., architecture, structural, MEP)
  • Experience with owning BIM coordination through construction administration on multiple large-scale projects (high rises, factories, data centers, etc) and familiarity with means and methods of construction
  • Proficiency in BIM authoring and coordination tools, including Revit (advanced level), Navisworks, and related plugins
  • Certification in BIM (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional in Revit for Architectural Design/Structure/MEP, or AGC BIM Certificate)
  • Knowledge of advanced BIM integrations, such as reality capture (e.g., laser scanning with Trimble or Leica) or VR/AR visualizations
  • Design experience in architecture, engineering or a related field
  • Experience with Siemens NX

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
