General Information/Job SummaryThe BIM Coordinator - Mission Critical is responsible for supporting Building Information Modeling coordination, model management, clash detection, constructability review, and digital project delivery for complex, schedule-driven mission critical projects. This role works closely with Saulsbury EPC Project Directors, engineering teams, construction leadership, trade partners, vendors, clients, and third-party design partners to maintain accurate, coordinated, and constructible BIM deliverables. The BIM Coordinator supports multidisciplinary coordination across architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, controls, and commissioning-related scopes, with a strong focus on safety, quality, schedule certainty, field execution, and client satisfaction.
Responsibilities/Competencies- Support project BIM execution strategy, model coordination requirements, deliverable expectations, and success criteria in alignment with contract requirements, client standards, safety expectations, and overall project goals.
- 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.
Requirements - Associate's or bachelor's degree in construction management, architecture, engineering, virtual design and construction, drafting/design technology, or a related field is preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
- Primary base location in either Odessa, TX or Houston, TX.
- Minimum of 3 years of BIM, VDC, CAD, design coordination, or construction coordination experience; experience in data centers, mission critical facilities, industrial EPC, commercial construction, power, oil and gas, refining, natural gas processing, or other complex capital projects is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with Autodesk Revit in a professional project environment.
- Experience with model federation, linked models, multidisciplinary coordination, clash detection, and issue tracking workflows.
- Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Navisworks Manage, or similar BIM coordination and collaboration platforms is preferred.
- Working knowledge of mission critical systems such as electrical distribution, backup power, mechanical cooling, controls, fire protection, low-voltage systems, security systems, redundancy, and commissioning is preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, shop drawings, submittals, equipment data, single-line diagrams, coordination drawings, and technical documentation.
- Strong understanding of constructability, installation sequencing, trade coordination, RFIs, submittals, field change management, and turnover documentation.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, problem-solving, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced project environment.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills with the ability to coordinate effectively with clients, project leadership, engineering teams, construction teams, vendors, subcontractors, and trade partners.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams, and other document control, collaboration, or project management tools.
- Ability to travel to client offices, project job sites, vendor facilities, and construction locations as needed.
- Impeccable personal and professional ethics with a demonstrated commitment to safety, quality, accountability, teamwork, and client service.
- BIM, VDC, Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, or related industry certification is preferred.
Physical Requirements- Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer, including detailed model review and coordination activities.
- Ability to stand and walk for extended periods during site visits, inspections, layout reviews, and construction coordination activities.
- Ability to walk project sites, laydown yards, mechanical/electrical rooms, data halls, rooftops, and active construction areas while following all safety requirements.
- Ability to navigate uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, platforms, congested work areas, and active construction zones as required.
- Ability to carry up to 50 pounds as required.
