• Experience writing and executing BIM Execution Plans and meeting owner-defined BIM requirements.
• Track record of setting a written standard and holding a team to it, including hiring input, training, and performance feedback.
• Strong understanding of how MEP/FP systems are designed and installed, so you can spot a problem in the model before the field does.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain BIM standards: templates, families, view templates, sheet standards, naming conventions, and the BIM SOP.
• Enforce one model per job number, with consistent setup across offices.
• Write and maintain BIM Execution Plans for projects that require them, including federal and owner requirements.
• Define model quality checks and run them before milestone submissions (SD, DD, CD, permit, conformed sets).
• Lead MEP/FP model coordination with architects, structural engineers, and contractors; conduct clash detection and track issues.
• Manage cloud collaboration in Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360, including permissions, model links, and publishing.
• Support construction administration with current conformed sets and a clear record of issued dates.
• Keep BIM status current on the firm’s active project schedule for leadership visibility.
• Lead, schedule, and develop the BIM production team, including the BIM Coordinator, with cross-office workload balance.
• Build a training plan so every modeler meets a defined skill baseline and onboard new staff to JLRD standards.
• Serve as first point of contact for modeling questions to resolve issues before rework.
• Administer Autodesk licensing with IT; track utilization and renewals.
• Identify and implement BIM automation tools (Dynamo, add-ins) to streamline workflows and measure productivity.
