About the Role
Position Summary
The Senior BIM Coordinator / BIM Manager leads the day-to-day delivery of BIM on assigned projects and across disciplines, ensuring models, drawings, and data comply with ISO 19650 and company BIM standards. The role owns model coordination and QA/QC, drives automation of repetitive modelling and documentation tasks using Dynamo and Python, and acts as the technical bridge between project teams, the Digital Delivery function, and external appointed parties.
Key Responsibilities
1. BIM Standards & Compliance
● Implement and enforce the company BIM Manual, Revit templates, naming conventions, and modelling
standards (LOD/LOI) across all disciplines on assigned projects.
● Ensure project BIM Execution Plans (BEP) are developed, maintained, and followed in line with ISO
19650-1/-2.
● Set up and maintain the Common Data Environment (CDE) — folder structures, permissions, and
workflows (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud / ACC).
● Monitor compliance of internal teams and sub-consultants against agreed standards; report nonconformances
and drive corrective action.
2. Model Coordination & Quality Control
● Lead federated model coordination across Architecture, Structure, MEP, and Infrastructure; run and
chair clash detection sessions (Navisworks / BIM Collaborate).
● Perform model audits and QA/QC checks (model health, parameters, shared coordinates, worksets) prior
to issue.
● Track and close out clashes, RFIs, and coordination issues through to resolution.
● Validate drawing sheets, schedules, and quantities extracted from models for accuracy and consistency.
3. Automation & Digital Workflow Development
● Develop and maintain Dynamo graphs to automate repetitive modelling, QA/QC checks, parameter
population, sheet/schedule creation, and data validation tasks.
● Write and maintain Python scripts (within Dynamo, pyRevit, or standalone) to extend automation
beyond native Dynamo nodes — batch processing, data export/import, model auditing, and reporting.
● Identify manual, repetitive workflows across the team and propose/build automation solutions to
improve speed and consistency.
● Maintain a shared library of reusable Dynamo scripts and Python tools for the wider BIM team;
document usage and train coordinators on their application.
● Collaborate with the Digital Delivery team on the firm's internal toolkit (e.g., Revit add-ins, content
catalog, effort estimators) and contribute automation requirements/testing.
● Stay current with emerging automation and AI-assisted workflows relevant to BIM production (e.g.,
generative design, AI-assisted QA, scripting with the Revit API/C#) and recommend adoption where it
adds value.
4. Data & Information Management
● Manage shared parameters, project parameters, and data schemas to support COBie/asset data and
client information requirements (EIR/AIR).
● Coordinate data drops and information exchanges at project milestones in line with the Master
Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) / Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP).
● Extract and validate model-derived data (quantities, schedules, room/space data) for cost, sustainability,
or FM handover purposes.
5. Stakeholder Coordination & Reporting
● Act as the primary BIM point of contact for project managers, design leads, and appointed parties on
coordination and information management matters.
● Chair/support BIM coordination meetings; issue minutes, coordination reports, and clash/issue trackers.
● Report BIM production status, risks, and automation gains to the Digital Delivery / BIM leadership.
● Liaise with clients and consultants on model exchange formats, federation strategy, and delivery
expectations.
6. Software & Technology Management
● Administer project-level configuration of Revit, Navisworks, and CDE platforms (ACC/BIM 360); manage
worksharing, cloud models, and permissions.
● Troubleshoot model performance, file corruption, and interoperability issues (IFC, COBie, Navisworks
exports).
● Evaluate and pilot new BIM/automation tools and plug-ins, feeding recommendations into the firm's
digital delivery roadmap.
Qualifications & Experience
● Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
● Typically 6–10+ years of BIM/CAD experience, including demonstrated experience leading model
coordination on multi-disciplinary projects.
● Proven track record implementing ISO 19650 or equivalent BIM standards on live projects.
● Hands-on experience building Dynamo graphs and Python scripts for production automation (not just
running pre-built scripts).
● Experience mentoring or leading a small team of BIM coordinators/modelers
Technical Skills
● Authoring / Coordination: Autodesk Revit (advanced), Navisworks Manage, AutoCAD.
● Automation / Scripting: Dynamo (visual programming + custom Python nodes), Python, working
knowledge of the Revit API; C#/pyRevit knowledge a strong plus.
● CDE / Data: Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)/BIM 360, IFC, COBie, shared/project parameters.
● Standards: ISO 19650-1/-2, company BIM Manual and naming conventions.
● Other: Power BI or similar for dashboarding/reporting is a plus; familiarity with cloud model coordination
platforms.
Key Competencies
● Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset; sees automation opportunities in routine work.
● Clear communicator able to translate technical BIM requirements for non-technical stakeholders.
● Detail-oriented with rigorous QA/QC discipline.
● Collaborative leadership style; comfortable coordinating across disciplines and with external parties.
