• Ensure traceability, documentation, and proper metadata management of all BIM content within the project’s designated information management systems.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary design teams to identify content needs, ensure timely availability, and support consistent modelling practices.
• Integrate feedback and lessons learned to continuously improve and update the BIM object library throughout the project lifecycle.

Years of experience: Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in BIM content development, BIM library management, or digital design support within infrastructure, rail, transportation, or multidisciplinary projects.

Technical Competencies

• Proficiency in major BIM authoring platforms, including parametric object creation, family editing, attributes, and classification systems, such as but not limited to Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Bentley tools, and Autodesk Forma.
• Strong understanding of BIM standards such as ISO 19650, BuildingSMART classifications, and project-specific modelling requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to create high-quality parametric objects aligned with project needs, discipline guidelines, and data requirements.
