- Verify that digital deliverables satisfy client requirements, project objectives, information standards, and agreed delivery milestones.
- Coordinate BIM models covering Civil, Structural, Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, ICT, ELV, Utilities, Drainage, Airfield, AGL, and specialist airport systems.
- Federate discipline models and undertake structured clash detection and interface reviews.
- Identify spatial conflicts, design inconsistencies, and coordination risks before they affect construction.
- Work with discipline leads to resolve clashes and improve engineering solutions through coordinated model development.
- Review BIM models, CAD drawings, and digital deliverables for technical quality and project compliance.
- Verify Level of Development and Level of Information requirements at defined project stages.
- Check model coordinates, naming conventions, parameters, classifications, references, and data consistency.
- Monitor consultant and contractor BIM submissions and track outstanding digital coordination issues.
- Maintain compliance with Common Data Environment procedures and project document control requirements.
- Coordinate digital models for passenger terminals, concourses, cargo facilities, runways, taxiways, aprons, aircraft stands, and support buildings.
- Integrate airport roads, utility corridors, drainage infrastructure, maintenance facilities, and operational systems within coordinated models.
- Manage airside and landside digital interfaces where infrastructure and building systems intersect.
- Administer CAD templates, drawing standards, layer conventions, workflows, references, and production requirements.
- Review drawings to ensure consistent presentation, technical accuracy, and compliance with approved CAD standards.
- Provide drafting and visualization support for engineering teams when complex coordination requires additional detail.
- Maintain reliable revision records and ensure design changes are reflected across affected models and drawings.
- Support construction teams with BIM information during installation, inspection, testing, and commissioning activities.
- Review contractor models, coordinated shop drawings, as-built information, and construction-stage digital submissions.
- Use BIM coordination to resolve field conflicts and minimize avoidable rework.
- Support BIM-based construction sequencing and progress monitoring where required.
- Assist project teams in verifying installed works against approved coordinated models.
- Support development of Asset Information Models for handover and future facility management.
- Confirm that model data supports operation, maintenance, asset identification, and client information requirements.
- Coordinate structured information exchanges between designers, contractors, specialists, and project stakeholders.
- Support preparation of final digital handover packages and validated asset data.
- Participate in BIM coordination meetings, design workshops, technical reviews, and stakeholder sessions.
- Provide recommendations for model optimization, information management, and digital workflow improvements.
- Prepare clash reports, model review comments, BIM coordination reports, dashboards, and progress updates.
- Maintain records of coordination issues, assigned actions, decisions, and completed resolutions.
- Monitor BIM performance indicators and identify opportunities to improve digital engineering efficiency.
- Support Digital Twin, GIS integration, and smart asset initiatives where incorporated into project requirements.
- The position is suited to a senior BIM and CAD professional with extensive multidisciplinary coordination experience and the ability to manage digital engineering requirements across complex infrastructure projects.
- Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 10 years of experience in BIM coordination, CAD management, model development, or digital engineering delivery.
- Demonstrated experience on airport, aviation, transportation, infrastructure, or other large-scale construction programs.
- Strong background coordinating multidisciplinary BIM models across buildings and infrastructure.
- Practical experience supporting airport terminals, airfield infrastructure, roads, utilities, building services, or comparable complex assets.
- Advanced proficiency with Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, and AutoCAD.
- Strong working knowledge of BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or equivalent Common Data Environment platforms.
- Extensive experience in clash detection, model federation, coordination management, and digital quality assurance.
- Sound knowledge of ISO 19650 principles and structured information management.
