Building Information Model Manager - BIM Manager

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

The BIM Manager position evaluates design documents and participates in project planning for every informal and formal project we have on campus. The BIM Manager also leads the review and evaluation of project close-out documentation, including BIM spreadsheets for asset (equipment and system) identification, 3D building models, and system operations & maintenance manuals.

The BIM Manager also leads efforts to model and document our existing campus buildings and infrastructure systems. This requires the use of advanced scanning equipment and computer software. This involves reviewing existing documents, which are typically incomplete, and using a combination of best practices and engineering judgment to fill in the gaps in documentation. The BIM Manager will be responsible for creating and maintaining BIM models using Revit. The BIM Manager is responsible for developing all of the work processes required to complete the aforementioned actions. The work performed by the BIM Manager requires a strong engineering background and knowledge of building codes (IBC & NC), and standards (such as ISO and ESRI standards).
