• Being self-motivated to work within the BIM Designer group and across other teams.
• Preparing and developing detailed Structural Revit models.
• Developing and publishing construction documentation for Structural building system designs in a fast-paced environment to meet scheduled deliverables.

• Updating and modifying existing models, studies, and construction documents, as required.
• Assisting the creation and maintenance of BIM templates and enforcing BIM standards.
• Participating in design coordination meetings with other trades for clash detection and resolution.
• Working on concurrent projects in multiple geographic locations.
• Assisting information exchange processes between internal and external customers in a Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Recording and reporting key metrics to management.
• Traveling to data center sites for engineering evaluations and surveys, as required. On average: once or twice a year.
