About the role
- Develop, implement, and maintain the company's BIM strategy, with a primary focus on robust Revit standards and workflows for civil structures.
- Champion the adoption of BIM technologies across all civil engineering disciplines, ensuring seamless integration between Revit and other platforms like Civil 3D.
- Establish and manage a Common Data Environment (CDE) for all project information, ensuring Revit models and data are central to the project ecosystem.
- Oversee the BIM process on multiple civil structures projects, from initial planning and design through to construction and as-built documentation, ensuring Revit models are accurately developed and maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
- Develop and manage project-specific BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), clearly defining Revit modeling standards, Level of Development (LOD) requirements, and collaboration procedures.
- Lead interdisciplinary coordination using federated models, with a strong emphasis on the structural Revit model as a key source of truth.
- Manage and lead clash detection and resolution meetings, utilizing Navisworks to coordinate Revit models with designs from other disciplines.
- Serve as the in-house expert for Revit Structure, providing advanced technical guidance and troubleshooting for project teams.
- Lead the development and maintenance of a comprehensive library of standardized Revit families and content specifically for civil structural elements (e.g., bridge components, retaining walls, culverts, foundations).
- Provide expert support on other key software, including Autodesk Civil 3D, Navisworks, and InfraWorks, while ensuring optimal interoperability with Revit.
- Mentor project teams on best practices for Revit modeling, work-sharing, and data management.
- Supervise and mentor a team of BIM coordinators and modelers, with a focus on elevating their Revit skills.
- Develop and deliver customized training programs to enhance the Revit proficiency of all civil engineering staff, from basic principles to advanced modeling techniques.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, particularly around Revit and digital innovation.
- Ensure all BIM deliverables, especially Revit models, meet the required level of accuracy, detail, and quality as defined by project and company standards.
- Conduct regular, rigorous quality control reviews of Revit models and associated documentation.
- Stay current with the latest versions of Revit, industry add-ins, and emerging BIM technologies and standards, such as ISO 19650.
- Partners with stakeholders to understand project requirements, specifications, and objectives.
- Collaborate with civil structural, electrical, and mechanical engineers to integrate utilities, power supplies, and infrastructure into the layout design.
- Generate 2D and 3D layout drawings, as well as associated documentation and reports, to communicate design concepts and implementation guidelines.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, procurement, and construction, to ensure seamless coordination and alignment during project execution.
- Conduct periodic reviews of existing plant layouts to identify opportunities for optimization, efficiency enhancement, and cost reduction.
- Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in plant layout design and material handling systems.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
Requirements
