• Coordinate multidisciplinary BIM models for mission critical facilities, including civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, controls, low-voltage, security, and commissioning-related systems.
• Manage model federation, linked models, model organization, naming conventions, view setup, sheet setup, and model health in accordance with project BIM requirements and company standards.
• Perform clash detection, coordination reviews, and constructability checks to identify installation conflicts, design gaps, access issues, maintenance concerns, and field execution risks.
• Facilitate BIM coordination meetings with engineering teams, construction teams, trade partners, vendors, and design partners to review conflicts, assign action items, track resolution, and maintain schedule alignment.
• Support development, implementation, and maintenance of BIM Execution Plans, coordination procedures, model exchange requirements, clash reporting workflows, and digital deliverable standards.
• Partner with field supervision and construction leadership to support model-to-field coordination, installation planning, sequencing, prefabrication, modularization, and layout activities.
• Assist project teams with RFIs, design clarifications, field change requests, submittal reviews, shop drawing coordination, and issue resolution related to BIM and coordinated design information.
• Review and coordinate vendor, subcontractor, and trade partner models, drawings, equipment data, and specialty system deliverables for alignment with project requirements and coordinated design intent.
• Maintain accurate BIM documentation, including clash logs, coordination meeting minutes, action item registers, model issue reports, decision logs, model status reports, and deliverable trackers.
• Support quality control of models and drawings by verifying completeness, consistency, constructability, code coordination, and compliance with client and project-specific BIM standards.
• Coordinate BIM deliverables that support procurement, fabrication, installation, pre-commissioning, commissioning, integrated systems testing, turnover, and closeout activities.
• Provide practical BIM support to project teams in fast-paced mission critical environments where uptime, redundancy, maintainability, safety, and speed to market are key project priorities.
• Assist in developing and maintaining BIM standards, templates, families, workflows, lessons learned, and best practices to improve consistency and efficiency across mission critical projects.
• Support coordination with clients, owners’ representatives, general contractors, design consultants, subcontractors, vendors, and internal project controls, procurement, document control, and construction teams.
• Promote a collaborative, accountable, and safety-focused project culture while proactively identifying model issues, coordination constraints, schedule risks, and opportunities for improvement.
