Job description

The Design Technology Coordinator is responsible for executing 3D modeling deliverables, coordinating project design environments, and maintaining CAD/BIM data in alignment with PDI standards and client requirements.

This role ensures the accuracy, integrity, and coordination of digital models throughout the project lifecycle.

The Design Technology Coordinator collaborates closely with Project Managers and the Director of Technology to support efficient project execution through established software platforms, workflows, and standards. While Project Managers maintain ownership of project delivery, the Design Technology Coordinator assists with project setup, digital file organization, standards implementation, and technical coordination of design deliverables to help ensure projects remain organized, compliant, and delivery-ready throughout the project lifecycle.

This individual works directly with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support design development, resolve technical challenges, and implement modeling solutions that improve project outcomes.

• Execute 3D modeling and generate project deliverables including isometrics, orthographics, bills of material, and other design documentation.
• Assist with model coordination, including clash detection and resolution
• Perform model maintenance, file coordination, troubleshooting, and technical support for CAD/BIM users.
• Ensure adherence to established CAD/BIM standards, procedures, project workflows, and best practices.
• Manage, coordinate, and integrate laser scanning data, reality capture datasets, and point clouds into project design models and workflows.
• Support setup and administration of Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) / Autodesk Forma, including templates, folder structures, and permissions
• Collaborate with project teams to identify and resolve modeling, coordination, and data integrity issues
• Coordinate project deliverable milestones by assisting teams with model organization, sheet set validation, drawing package preparation, and digital deliverable readiness.
• Assist in task coordination as directed by project leads
• Document workflows, standards, and lessons learned to support continuous improvement
