• Strong understanding of CAD/BIM standards, PxP requirements, and ProjectWise model governance best practices (project organization, references, and data management).
• Experience supporting multi-discipline coordination and model integration on infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with clash detection and issue coordination workflows and DOT digital delivery requirements.
• Ability to obtain Public Trust clearance.
