Job Details

BIM Standards & Compliance • Implement and enforce the company BIM Manual, Revit templates, naming conventions, and modelling standards (LOD/LOI) across all disciplines on assigned projects. • Ensure project BIM Execution Plans (BEP) are developed, maintained, and followed in line with ISO 19650-1/-2. • Set up and maintain the Common Data Environment (CDE) — folder structures, permissions, and workflows (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud / ACC). • Monitor compliance of internal teams and sub-consultants against agreed standards; report nonconformances and drive corrective action. Model Coordination & Quality Control • Lead federated model coordination across Architecture, Structure, MEP, and Infrastructure; run and chair clash detection sessions (Navisworks / BIM Collaborate). • Perform model audits and QA/QC checks (model health, parameters, shared coordinates, worksets) prior to issue. • Track and close out clashes, RFIs, and coordination issues through to resolution. • Validate drawing sheets, schedules, and quantities extracted from models for accuracy and consistency. Automation & Digital Workflow Development • Develop and maintain Dynamo graphs to automate repetitive modelling, QA/QC checks, parameter population, sheet/schedule creation, and data validation tasks. • Write and maintain Python scripts (within Dynamo, pyRevit, or standalone) to extend automation beyond native Dynamo nodes — batch processing, data export/import, model auditing, and reporting. • Identify manual, repetitive workflows across the team and propose/build automation solutions to improve speed and consistency. • Maintain a shared library of reusable Dynamo scripts and Python tools for the wider BIM team; document usage and train coordinators on their application. • Collaborate with the Digital Delivery team on the firm's internal toolkit (e.g., Revit add-ins, content catalog, effort estimators) and contribute automation requirements/testing. • Stay current with emerging automation and AI-assisted workflows relevant to BIM production (e.g., generative design, AI-assisted QA, scripting with the Revit API/C#) and recommend adoption where it adds value. Data & Information Management • Manage shared parameters, project parameters, and data schemas to support COBie/asset data and client information requirements (EIR/AIR). • Coordinate data drops and information exchanges at project milestones in line with the Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) / Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP). • Extract and validate model-derived data (quantities, schedules, room/space data) for cost, sustainability, or FM handover purposes. Stakeholder Coordination & Reporting • Act as the primary BIM point of contact for project managers, design leads, and appointed parties on coordination and information management matters. • Chair/support BIM coordination meetings; issue minutes, coordination reports, and clash/issue trackers. • Report BIM production status, risks, and automation gains to the Digital Delivery / BIM leadership. • Liaise with clients and consultants on model exchange formats, federation strategy, and delivery expectations. Software & Technology Management • Administer project-level configuration of Revit, Navisworks, and CDE platforms (ACC/BIM 360); manage worksharing, cloud models, and permissions. • Troubleshoot model performance, file corruption, and interoperability issues (IFC, COBie, Navisworks exports). • Evaluate and pilot new BIM/automation tools and plug-ins, feeding recommendations into the firm's digital delivery roadmap.

Qualifications & Experience • Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field. • Typically 6–10+ years of BIM/CAD experience, including demonstrated experience leading model coordination on multi-disciplinary projects. • Proven track record implementing ISO 19650 or equivalent BIM standards on live projects. • Hands-on experience building Dynamo graphs and Python scripts for production automation (not just running pre-built scripts). • Experience mentoring or leading a small team of BIM coordinators/modelers.
