• Field integration and digital workflows: Partner with operations to deliver model-based information to the field (e.g., layout support, coordination views, installation sequencing, and as-built/as-installed updates) and improve reliability of field communication.
• Common Data Environment (CDE) administration: Assist in administering Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Forma project setup, folder standards, permissions, and model/drawing exchange workflows; support PDF review workflows in Bluebeam to ensure teams are using the most current information.
• Training and support: Develop, deliver, and maintain BIM training for project teams, including onboarding, role-based training, user guides, best practices, and FAQs; coach users to drive adoption and consistent execution.
• Technology, vendor, and licensing support: Assist with evaluating and piloting BIM-related tools; help manage software licenses, hardware needs, and vendor relationships to ensure reliable project delivery.
• Continuous improvement and reporting: Track BIM performance metrics (e.g., coordination health, issue closure, rework drivers, training completion) and provide periodic updates to leadership with recommendations.
• Compliance and information security: Partner with IT and project leadership to maintain appropriate cybersecurity and data handling practices for models, project information, and connected systems.
