Sargent & Lundy is seeking a BIM Project Lead to support day-to-day model-based delivery on active projects under the oversight of a BIM Manager.

Responsibilities

• Develop, issue, and maintain the project BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and associated workflows, ensuring alignment with standards and project specific requirements.

• Lead BEP development with project stakeholders, including PMs, discipline leads, and IT as needed; ensure the BEP clearly defines scope, roles, responsibilities, deliverables, review cycles, coordination approach, information requirements, and tool workflows.

• Execute the BEP through day-to-day leadership, ensuring adoption across disciplines and offices, and verifying the team is following agreed conventions and deliverable expectations.

• Support project kickoff and BIM startup activities, including model setup coordination, access needs, permissions requests, and collaboration workflow readiness in partnership with the PM, discipline leads, and IT.

• Maintain short interval look ahead planning for BIM coordination and deliverables, ensuring model deliverables and review cycles remain on track.

• Career coordination and issue management, including clash detection, issue tracking, prioritization, and resolution planning with discipline leads.

• Prepare models for internal model reviews and external client facing reviews, ensuring correct model versions are captured and archived prior to formal reviews when required by the project.

• Support expectation alignment on model review scope, outcomes, and follow up actions with project leadership and client stakeholders as applicable.

• Model Quality and Deliverable Support, including routine model quality and model health checks, validating model deliverables and extracted outputs against project requirements, and coordinating with discipline teams to ensure model content is suitable for downstream uses.

• Support model closeout tasks at the project level, including deliverable packaging, coordination of archives, and documentation of final model status per the project plan.

• Tools and Collaboration Platforms Support daily operation of project collaboration platforms and coordination tools (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, Navisworks, SmartPlant SPF/SDx where applicable), including issue workflows, permissions requests, and adherence to project conventions.

• Coordinate with IT and the NPG BIM Manager to resolve tool access issues, performance concerns, and environment support needs impacting project execution.

• Implement approved project level standardized checks or automation as provided by the NPG BIM Manager or enablement resources, focusing on practical execution and repeatability.

• Team Support and Training, including coaching discipline users in day-to-day BIM workflows, coordination expectations, and collaboration best practices to support adoption and consistency, and supporting onboarding of new project team members into project BIM workflows.

• Client, Partner, and Vendor Support, including supporting client and partner coordination as requested by the PM and BIM Manager, including BEP alignment, model review preparation, standards alignment, and coordination of external model inputs, and assisting with responses to client information requirements as needed by providing project level inputs, deliverable examples, and execution status updates.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Geomatics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field preferred; an equivalent combination of technical education, BIM/VDC training, and relevant project experience will be considered.

• 5–10 years of progressive BIM experience in multi discipline A/E and/or EPC environments, with direct project execution responsibilities.

• Demonstrated experience developing and issuing BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) for projects and leading execution of those plans with multi discipline teams.

• Demonstrated experience in BIM coordination, model federation, issue tracking, and project deliverable support.

• Strong working knowledge of Revit and Navisworks, with experience in Hexagon/SmartPlant toolsets (e.g., S3D, SDx/SPF) and CDE/BIM collaboration platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360; demonstrated experience with model exchange workflows across multiple authoring tools.

• Experience performing model checks and supporting model deliverables with discipline teams.

• Ability to communicate clearly with project teams, facilitate coordination discussions, and drive action closure across multiple disciplines.

• Comfort working in an IT partnered environment, including access requests, permissions workflows, and basic troubleshooting coordination.
