Job summary

CDM Smith seeks an experienced Intelligent Modeling Coordinator to base in the US offices. You will integrate models across architecture, structures, transit, roadway, and MEP into federated, clash-checked deliverables, coordinating across disciplines from project start to completion.

The role requires deep knowledge of Navisworks, Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, and OpenRoads, plus ability to mentor staff and enforce design standards.

Qualifications

• High School diploma or equivalent with vocational technical training in CADD drafting technology and intelligent modeling.
• 12 years of related experience.
• Domestic and/or international travel may be required.
• Equivalent additional directly related experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

Responsibilities

• Cross-discipline coordination — coordinate intelligent models across architecture, vertical structures, transportation structures, roadway design, and MEP into a single federated, clash‑checked model throughout the project lifecycle.
• Model coordination & clash detection — run clash detection in Navisworks and lead resolution across disciplines.
• Standards & governance — establish, document, and enforce CADD/BIM standards, templates, and workflows across offices, built on the Autodesk stack.
• Mentorship & guidance — provide lower‑level modeling personnel with design sketches for preparation of finished design drawings and guidance in refining technical requirements; mentor and train production staff across offices.
• Acts as Intelligent Modeling Coordinator for basic to highly complex projects during the project lifecycle to ensure coordination between the design team.
• Performs crosscheck of drawings to ensure consistency of drawings, cross sections, section placement, and layering guidelines, and adherence to the firm's Q/QC standards.
• Performs CADD/technical support tasks such as verifying intelligent model integrity, managing model health and versioning, and maintaining interoperability across the Autodesk toolset (and Bentley where projects require it).
• Reviews manufacturers' or fabricators' prints for aid in design documents.
• Determines material needs and performs necessary calculations using accepted formulas and references per the firm's standards.
• Establishes design criteria for assigned phases of a project requiring the application of engineering principles, material properties, and familiarity with construction, installation, and maintenance procedures.
• Provides general conceptual input to projects during the planning stages and supports or leads field assignments as required.
• Develops BIM Execution Plans, contributes to model‑based deliverable scoping, and advises pursuit teams on integration approach, LOD, and production level of effort (LOE).
• Interfaces with clients, agencies, and subconsultants on model deliverable requirements, coordination expectations, and data handoff standards.
• Performs related fundamental engineering support tasks such as plotting drawings, preparing transmittals and overnight packages, file management, filing and distributing prints, assisting in simple design calculations, and coordinating specifications with drawings.
• Performs other duties as required.
