  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in the AECO industry, with at least 5 years in a dedicated BIM management or coordination role focused on structural or civil projects.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Revit Structure is essential, with a demonstrable portfolio of complex projects.
  • Experience with Autodesk Navisworks for coordination and clash detection.
  • Proven experience in creating and managing advanced Revit families, parameters, and templates.
  • Background and experience must include drafting/ designer experience in engineering fields, such as electrical, mechanical, structural, communications, architectural, fire protection or civil
  • Some travel may be required (up to 10%)
  • Develop and deliver customized training programs to enhance the Revit proficiency of all civil engineering staff, from basic principles to advanced modeling techniques.
  • Ensure all BIM deliverables, especially Revit models, meet the required level of accuracy, detail, and quality as defined by project and company standards.
