Coordinate with multiple CAD and BIM teams to confirm design input requirements, track clashes, and support issue closure before deadlines.
Use CAD workstations, CAD resources, BIM tools, and engineering inputs to develop drawings from sketches, layouts, flow sheets, assemblies, isometrics, component details, and general design information.
Prepare basic arrangements, layouts, routing plans, cross sections, utility network drawings, component details, and model‑based design deliverables.
Manage BIM‑related activities from project start‑up through completion in coordination with design, engineering, and delivery teams.
Review drawings for readability, presentation quality, technical accuracy, and adherence to company QA and QC processes.
Create and manage parametric and non‑parametric families to support project modelling requirements.
Produce schedules, quantity extractions, and model‑based information required for design reviews, reporting, and submissions.
Support clash detection, clash reporting, clash resolution, and model‑based design review across infrastructure disciplines.
Document design changes, drawing revisions, model updates, and project amendments for future reference and auditing.
Manage digital archiving of completed drawings, models, and related project documents in an organized and accessible system.
Maintain effective communication with team leads, engineers, designers, and other departments to resolve design discrepancies and coordination issues.
Apply quality control checks to identify drafting, modelling, coordination, or presentation errors early in the design process.
Customize CAD tools and workflows where appropriate to improve productivity and streamline repetitive design tasks.
Support client and stakeholder submissions at different project stages by ensuring deliverables are accurate, complete, and well presented.
Coordinate ROW‑related drawings, cross sections, routing plans, and existing utilities information as required.
Support training initiatives and knowledge sharing within the BIM team.
