BIM Coordinator (VDC)

Employing sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) computer assisted design (CAD) modeling and clash-detection software, the BIM Coordination team is responsible for taking conceptual layouts of Swisslog Healthcare Computerized Pneumatic Tube Systems to fully installable models that are fully integrated into a facility’s infrastructure.

The BIM Coordinator will attend both on-site and virtual MEP (mechanical-electrical- plumbing) coordination meetings with other trade contractors. Under the guidance of the BIM Manager or the Project Manager, negotiate space requirements with general contractors and other trade partners. Through this often lengthy and complex negotiation/design process, the BIM Coordination team will ensure complete system install-ability and design integrity.

This individual will also communicate changes in scope of work to the Swisslog Healthcare project team, to ensure that change order opportunities are identified and captured immediately to maintain profitability on the project.

During the installation phase, the BIM Coordinator shall work closely with Swisslog Healthcare’s installation team to ensure that the coordinated model is carried through the construction process via detailed installation drawings representing their final coordination efforts, and shall be available for any questions that should arise.
