• Process and manage 2D and 3D information for use in construction and design coordination, with an emphasis on plumbing layouts and connections.
• Produce BIM/VDC products, including spatial coordination models using Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and related platforms, with expertise in modeling complex plumbing systems (e.g., sanitary, vent, storm, domestic water, etc.).
• Develop annotated and dimensioned plumbing coordination drawings, including riser diagrams, system schematics, and general arrangement layouts, with an in-depth understanding of plumbing constructability, codes, and inter-trade coordination requirements.
• Establish and maintain project schedules, issue tracking logs, meeting minutes, notes, and performance metrics to monitor project progress and support accountability, particularly for plumbing coordination milestones.
• Maintain and continuously improve BIM QA/QC procedures to ensure error-free deliverables, with a focus on plumbing model accuracy and constructability.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support project and organizational success.
