BIM Manager

Description The BIM Manager is the operational owner of the firm’s Building Information Management (BIM) capability, responsible for the reliability, consistency, and continuous improvement of BIM as a firmwide delivery capability across a multi-office architecture firm. This role serves as the firm’s primary BIM operations leader and Revit subject matter expert, providing training, technical support, standards development, and knowledge sharing. The BIM Manager acts as a critical bridge between design teams, IT Operations, and Design & Innovation groups to ensure BIM practices are consistent, usable and aligned with long-term firm objectives. As NAC advances its data and automation efforts, this role supports the operational implementation and stewardship of BIM-related data practices and automation solutions. Working within the firm’s broader design technology and data strategy, the BIM Manager owns BIM execution and adoption, exercising judgment to balance consistency, efficiency and project realities while maintaining firmwide standards and data quality. Key Responsibilities Firm-Wide Revit Training & Capability Development Focus on building firmwide BIM capability within the operational BIM framework through training, guidance, and knowledge reuse. Develop, implement, and continuously refine a firmwide Revit training program to improve fluency, consistency, and efficiency across all offices and project teams. Create structured Revit learning paths tailored to different roles and experience levels. Deliver training through a mix of live sessions, recorded content, written guides, and project-based coaching. Evaluate staff Revit proficiency and identify targeted opportunities for skill development and workflow improvement. Author, organize, and maintain BIM-related knowledge resources on the firm’s intranet, serving as the central source of truth for BIM standards, workflows, training materials, and best practices. BIM Operations and System Ownership Own BIM as a firmwide operational system, establishing clear expectations for how BIM is used, identifying breakdowns or risk, and intervening when standards, workflows, or project conditions require adjustment. Translate firmwide design technology direction into practical, usable BIM guidance for project teams. Monitor the health, scalability, and adoption of BIM practices and identify operational gaps or risks. Exercise operational authority to retire ineffective BIM practices, simplify complex workflows and standardize approaches when variation introduces risk or inefficiency. Revit & BIM Technical Support Provide firmwide troubleshooting and support for Revit and BIM-related issues, including model performance, collaboration workflows, standards compliance, and project setup. Assist project teams in resolving complex modeling, documentation, and coordination challenges. Serve as the escalation authority for complex or systemic BIM issues, diagnosing root causes and implementing durable solutions rather than project-specific fixes. Proactively identify recurring issues and implement preventative solutions, templates, or automation. BIM Standards & Best Practices Serve as the firm’s owner of BIM standards execution, working closely with the Revit Standards committee to ensure standards, templates and libraries are usable, enforced in practice, and refined when they no longer support delivery quality or efficiency. Own the day to day execution and usability of BIM standards by maintaining Revit templates, family content libraries, and related guidance. Proactively monitor how standards perform in real project conditions and lead improvements based on observed delivery risks, adoption challenges, and data quality outcomes. COBie & Design and BIM Data Stewardship Act as the firm’s accountable steward for BIM and design model data, including COBie, defining what ‘ready for use’ means and ensuring data structure, consistency, and completeness meet delivery and lifecycle expectations. Assist and train project teams in COBie asset data management, including data structure, model setup, and coordination with delivery and owner requirements. Partner with design technology and data governance stakeholders to align BIM practices with broader enterprise data standards and expectations. Support the integration of asset data into BIM workflows to facilitate handover, facilities management, and long-term building operations. Cross-Team Collaboration Collaborate with the Design Technology Manager by translating design technology priorities into BIM-specific operational changes, automation, and enforceable standards. Design, prototype, and deliver BIM-specific automation solutions that improve automation, efficiency, and consistency firmwide (e.g., templates, Dynamo tools, add-ins, or scripted solutions). Evaluate the operational impact of emerging BIM-related tools and workflows and provide recommendations to inform broader design technology decision-making. Coordinate with IT Operations and Data and Innovation team to ensure BIM automation solutions are scalable, supported and operationally sustainable. #J-18808-Ljbffr
