Manager

• Lead the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection (MEP/FP) coordination process including maintaining a federated coordination model, running coordination meetings, managing model-based clash detection, documenting meetings through meeting minutes, and creating and maintaining a coordination schedule.
• Develop and maintain project specific BIM execution plans
• Capture and model existing building conditions utilizing in-house Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) scanning technology.
• Identify and communicate to the internal and subcontractor teams existing building conditions and/or MEP/FP systems that may impact the intended design. Create documentation that clearly illustrates these potential concerns and collaborate with the entire project team on solutions.
• Maintain a fluid workflow with the Design and Owner teams as designs change throughout the coordination process.
• Work closely with our field staff during the demolition, coordination and installation process to ensure proper and accurate installation of all virtually coordinated components, support layout, prefabrication, and QA/QC efforts using digital tools
• Collaborate closely with design engineers, subcontractors, and field teams to resolve technical coordination issues while maintaining design intent and construction feasibility
• Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, schedules, and details to support accurate model-based coordination and installation planning.
• Evaluate MEP/FP system routing, equipment placement, access clearances, and maintenance requirements, identifying potential conflicts or performance concerns prior to installation.
• Proactively identify design gaps, conflicts, or ambiguities in engineering documents and facilitate resolution through coordination meetings, documented decisions, and collaborative problem-solving.
• Support prefabrication and installation sequencing by leveraging coordinated models to reflect system tolerances, elevations, and field conditions.
• Train and mentor others on the benefits of the Virtual Planning and Construction Department, best practices, and available resources
• Advance innovation within both the Virtual Planning and Construction Department and within Columbia by attending conferences, researching, presenting new technologies, and modeling a Continuous Improvement mindset
• Drive and be an active participant of the Columbia Way
• Additional responsibilities as assigned
