Job Description
The BIM Manager will be expected to perform the following
key responsibilities:
- Model Coordination: Integrate multidisciplinary models (Architectural, Structural, MEP) into a single federated model. Set and maintain the shared project coordinate system and origin point across all linked models.
- Clash Detection: Perform regular milestone clash detection and lead coordination workshops to resolve design conflicts prior to construction. Utilize and enforce project clash priority hierarchy to resolve conflicts.
- BIM Execution Plan (BEP): Develop project-specific BEP based on Client and project requirements.
- Standard Enforcement: Implement and enforce project-level BIM standards, file naming conventions, and protocols outlined in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP).
- Data & CDE Management: Establish and manage the Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring data structures and model parameters are accurate and compliant. Administer the CDE platform (ACC, BIM 360, SharePoint, or ProjectWise), set up and maintain folder structures and discipline worksets, manage permission levels between disciplines, and enforce model segmentation limits (file size targets, splitting by building/area/discipline).
- LOD and Data Requirements: Confirm LOD targets by project phase, maintain the Model Element Author matrix where scope overlaps between disciplines, and verify shared parameter and data field compliance (asset IDs, line numbers, spec, service, etc.).
- Vendor and Supplier Model Coordination. Review submitted vendor and supplier models (native plus neutral format plus PDF cutsheets) for LOD compliance and accurate connection points before incorporating into the coordination model.
- Progress Tracking and Reporting. Track model-based progress against project milestones (30/60/90 DD, IFC issue, handover) and maintain risk log tying model conflicts to schedule and cost impact.
- Quality Assurance: Conduct routine model health checks and audits to ensure compliance with project deliverables for KPI's and Client's requirements.
- Stakeholder Communication: Lead BIM coordination meetings with clients, design teams, and subcontractors.
- Training & Support: Provide technical support and training to project teams regarding BIM software and workflow efficiencies.
- Closeout and Record Documentation. Compile final models, COBie or asset data, and Record Drawing documentation at project closeout.
Job Requirements
- Experience: 7-10 years minimum experience in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) with a proven track record in BIM coordination.
- Software Proficiency:
- Advanced knowledge of Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and AutoCAD.
- Knowledge of CADWorx, Plant 3D, or E3D is a plus.
- Familiarity with cloud-based collaboration platforms (e.g., BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIMcollab).
- Familiarity with reality capture tools (ReCap Pro or equivalent) for laser scans.
- Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of clash detection, and LOD (AIA G202 Level of Development framework) specifications. Working knowledge of IFC and COBie data exchange standards.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to articulate technical data clearly to both internal teams and external stakeholders.
- Training: AGC Certificate of Management, Building Information Modeling (CM BIM) is a plus.
