On-siteArt & CreativeFull-time
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain detailed 3D BIM models using industry-standard software (Revit, Navisworks, AutoCad) for architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and other engineering disciplines.
- Perform clash detection, model coordination, and constructability reviews to identify and resolve conflicts early in the design and construction phases.
- Lead BIM coordination efforts 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.
- Lead the transition of BIM workflows from third-party providers to in-house operations, including data migration, process documentation, and training of team members.
- Generate accurate construction documentation, quantity takeoffs, and visualizations to support project bidding, procurement, and on-site execution.
- Participate in cross-functional meetings, providing BIM expertise to inform design decisions and mitigate risks.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in architecture, engineering or construction management
- 6+ years of hands-on experience as a BIM specialist or Modeler in a construction or engineering environment
Preferred Skills And Experience
- 8+ years of professional experience in BIM coordination, with multidisciplinary experience on high rise projects.
- Experience modeling multiple disciplines (e.g., architecture, structural, MEP).
- Exposure to high rise construction projects is strongly preferred.
- The ideal candidate will have owned BIM coordination through construction administration on multiple large scale projects and have a solid understanding of means and methods of construction.
- Experience in aerospace, high-tech manufacturing, or mission-critical facilities projects.
- Proficiency in BIM authoring and coordination tools, including Revit (advanced level), Navisworks, and related plugins; familiarity with Dynamo or similar scripting for automation.
- Strong understanding of interdisciplinary coordination workflows, clash detection, and federated modeling in large-scale projects.
- Demonstrated expertise in architectural, engineering or MEP-focused BIM workflows, with the ability to drive project success through effective model coordination and communication.
- 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), VR/AR visualizations, or cloud-based collaboration platforms (e.g., Autodesk BIM 360/ACC).
- Design experience in architecture, engineering or a related field.
- Familiarity with structural analysis tools and integration of BIM data for structural engineering applications.
- Experience with Siemens NX.
