BIM Specialist

The BIM Specialist is responsible for implementing BIM processes to support delivery of the Project. The BIM Specialist is responsible for management of the cross-functional collaboration environment, including BIM/CAD model development, coordination to comply with Project BIM Execution Plan (BEP); 4D/5D processes and to drive an innovative culture on Project.

Major Responsibilities:

• Develop and review the project BIM strategy, requirements, and BIM Execution Plans (BEPs)
• Ensuring coordination of BIM activities (i.e., coordinate systems, standard templates, clash management, design review, etc.) are shared and complied to among the design subcontractors
• Provide BIM production support to project teams, champion maintenance of the Common Data Environment (CDE), model federation and interference management, quality checking deliverables (3D/2D), model coordination and deliverable generation to satisfy project BIM uses
• Developing/Enhancing, communicating and institutionalizing standardized BIM workflows to the project stakeholders and subcontractors (e.g., Design, Construction, and Project Management)
• Develop/Enhance standard processes for BIM/3D model health check against project requirements
• Training of project delivery team on the CDE (ProjectWise) and associated BIM workflows to support the delivery of the project key processes and deliverables
• Develop standard workflows for interoperability between BIM/CAD with GIS to support construction, safety, sustainability and permitting processes
• Conduct regular assessments to review the implementation of the BEP and compliance to the project execution strategy, capture Lessons Learned and seek opportunities for improvement
• Perform and manage the work in accordance with relevant Project Procedures and information requirements (EIR/AIR/PIR)
• Create standard processes for the preparation of model-based design quantity take-offs, enabling construction quantity reporting processes and forecasting
• Provide operational support to BIM coordinators, including the BIM Lead(s) at 3rd Party engineering consultants, design firms and/or subcontractors
• Participate regularly with off-project functional BIM team for training and development, knowledge sharing, management and lessons learned
• Develop processes to integrate BIM/3D models with schedule to generate 4D simulation of construction sequence
• Develop processes to integrate BIM/3D models and Quantity Take-off Templates for construction progress tracking and reporting
• Ensure the project meets the information requirements and industry-wide standards (i.e. ISO19650)

Education and Experience Requirements:

• BS in Engineering or any relevant discipline or 6-9 years of relevant work experience
• Experience in BIM/CAD technology used in design and construction
• Possesses strong communication skills and the ability to relay BIM/CIM and technology solutions to engineering and construction professionals
• Must be able to demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills to explain new work processes and technologies to all levels of the organization
• Self-motivated, self-starter, with good interpersonal skills
• Ability to work within a multi-cultured, integrated RC/Bechtel team

Required Knowledge and Skills:

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit and Civil3D
• Working knowledge and proficiency with collaboration and data management solutions: iTwin, Navisworks, Synchro, 3D/BIM-enabled quantity takeoff and BIM-enabled estimating tools (Assemble, CostOS, etc)
• Knowledge of Design-Bid-Build, Design/Build, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), LEAN and other modern contractual delivery methods
• Understands project workflows from design, estimation, construction administration and coordination
• Knowledge of CDE platforms such as ProjectWise, ACC/BIM360
• Collaborates well in a team environment
• Capable of managing priorities and taking on additional evolving responsibilities
