Job description

About the Company

Go Tech Construction is rapidly becoming a preferred design-and-build (D&B) contractor in the UAE’s education sector. With a strong track record of successfully delivered projects, we specialize in designing and building schools, universities, and accommodation for teachers and students.

As we enter an exciting phase of growth, supported by a strong order book, we’re looking for talented professionals with experience in D&B construction to join our team.

Job Purpose

The BIM Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating Building Information Modelling (BIM) activities across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. The role will ensure that BIM models are accurately coordinated, clashes are identified and resolved, and model information supports design development, construction execution, and project handover in accordance with project requirements, BIM standards, and the approved programme.

Key Responsibilities

1. BIM Model Coordination

• Coordinate architectural, structural, and MEP models to ensure multidisciplinary compatibility.
• Review BIM models for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with project requirements.
• Identify, track, and facilitate the resolution of clashes and model coordination issues.
• Conduct regular model reviews and coordination meetings with consultants, subcontractors, and internal project teams.
• Ensure that updated models reflect approved design changes and agreed coordination resolutions.

2. Clash Detection & Resolution

• Perform clash detection using Navisworks Manage and other relevant coordination tools.
• Generate clash reports, assign issues to responsible disciplines, and monitor their closure.
• Coordinate the resolution of hard clashes, soft clashes, access constraints, and service-routing conflicts.
• Follow up on outstanding coordination issues and elevate critical matters that may affect construction progress.
• Support the development of coordinated models and construction-ready drawings.

3. Design & Construction Coordination

• Work closely with the Design & Technical Manager, Design Coordinators, discipline engineers, and site teams.
• Coordinate BIM requirements with specialist subcontractors, suppliers, and external consultants.
• Support the preparation and review of coordinated shop drawings and construction documentation.
• Assist site teams in resolving BIM-related technical queries and discrepancies between models and site conditions.
• Ensure that model coordination supports construction sequencing, installation requirements, and buildability.

4. BIM Standards & Information Management

• Implement the project BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and applicable BIM protocols.
• Ensure compliance with agreed modelling standards, naming conventions, level of detail/information requirements, and revision controls.
• Manage model federation, model exchange, and coordination workflows.
• Maintain model registers, clash logs, issue trackers, and coordination records.
• Support the use of a Common Data Environment (CDE) for controlled sharing of project information.
• Apply relevant ISO 19650 information management principles where required by the project.

5. Technical Drawings & Documentation

• Support the production and review of coordinated drawings, sections, layouts, and model extracts.
• Coordinate updates to models and drawings following design revisions and approved changes.
• Check consistency between BIM models, shop drawings, specifications, and relevant design documentation.
• Support the preparation of model-based reports and coordination deliverables for project reviews.
• Assist in maintaining accurate as-built models and digital handover information.

6. Reporting & Programme Management

• Monitor BIM deliverables against project milestones and the approved design and construction programme.
• Prepare regular reports on model status, clash resolution, outstanding issues, and coordination progress.
• Identify BIM-related risks that could affect procurement, construction sequencing, or project delivery.
• Coordinate with project planning and construction teams to prioritise time-critical model deliverables.
• Escalate unresolved technical issues and delays to the relevant manager.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 4–7 years of relevant BIM experience in the UAE construction industry.
• Experience with a main contractor, Design & Build contractor, or multidisciplinary building project team is preferred.
• Proven experience coordinating architectural, structural, and MEP models on building construction projects.
• Experience with schools, universities, commercial buildings, or other complex building projects is an advantage.
• Familiarity with UAE construction practices and project documentation requirements.

Technical Skills

• Autodesk Revit: Model review, coordination, and model updates.
• Navisworks Manage: Model federation, clash detection, and clash reporting.
• AutoCAD: Drawing review and coordination.
• BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud or equivalent Common Data Environment platforms.
• Understanding of architectural, structural, and MEP systems and their interfaces.
• Knowledge of BIM Execution Plans, model exchange protocols, and ISO 19650 principles.
• Familiarity with shop drawings, technical submittals, and construction coordination workflows.
• Understanding of model-based construction documentation and as-built deliverables.

Core Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Effective communication and coordination across multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to manage multiple models, priorities, and deadlines.
• Proactive issue tracking and resolution.
• Strong organisational and reporting skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively with design, construction, and subcontractor teams.
