• Managing models from initial setup and view creation through to sheet production and final issue.
• Incorporating asset information and data, including COBie, IFC and Uniclass, in accordance with project BIM Execution Plans and Exchange Information Requirements.
• Reviewing engineer-produced models, carrying out clash detection and providing reports to support design coordination.
• Coordinating mechanical, electrical and public health services within building layouts and identifying potential design conflicts.
• Producing models and drawings independently from engineering mark-ups, sketches and Bluebeam PDFs.
• Working with the wider engineering team to maintain model quality, accuracy and consistency throughout the design process.
• Contributing ideas to improve Revit workflows, BIM processes and digital engineering automation.
• Planning and prioritising workloads alongside the BIM Manager to meet project deadlines.
