• Partner with project leadership to ensure BIM deliverables meet client requirements and integrate effectively with design, engineering, and fabrication teams.
• Support the setup and governance of CDE platforms across projects, ensuring robust data flow, versioning, and access control.
• Mentor and coach BIM Coordinators and senior staff, building capability in advanced workflows, best practices, and process improvement.
• Contribute BIM expertise to bids, proposals, and client engagements, ensuring standards and processes are clearly represented.
