Full Job Description
SR. BIM SPECIALIST

Building on the rapid advancement of the Starlink program, we are moving into a new phase of facility and infrastructure growth. We are currently seeking a Sr. BIM Specialist to lead the integration and coordination of Building Information Modeling (BIM) across fast-paced multidisciplinary projects, ensuring project objectives are met through effective model management and collaboration. This position will serve as a key technical resource, supporting project teams and fostering strong BIM practices throughout the project lifecycle.

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. Specifically, this will be a mix of in-house processes/elements and external design consultants throughout the whole project lifecycle
  • 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 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
  • Troubleshoot technical issues in BIM environments and recommend software/tools/process improvements to enhance efficiency
  • Participate in cross-functional meetings, providing BIM expertise to inform design decisions and mitigate risks

BASIC 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

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Must be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed, based on site operational needs; flexibility is required
  • Occasional travel may be required based on specific projects; travel requirement is up to 15%


ITAR REQUIREMENTS:
  • To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. a7 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. a7 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
