Federated Model Coordination:

• Coordinate and review multidisciplinary federated models across Track, OCS, Civil, Drainage, Utilities, Cable Trough, Under Track Ducting, Sound Wall, and other project scopes.
• Verify that discipline models are correctly georeferenced, structured, shared, and ready for coordination in iTwin, Navisworks, or other designated review platforms.
• Support regular model reviews and coordination meetings to maintain model accuracy, cross-disciplinary alignment, and timely issue resolution.

Clash Detection and Issue Management:

• Execute the weekly clash detection workflow, including review of iTwin groups, clash test setup, clash review, suppression or approval of known acceptable clashes, issue creation, assignment, and follow-up.
• Prepare clash reports and coordination materials for BIM coordination meetings, including issue status, priority, responsible discipline, and resolution progress.

MCM, IFC, and Data Support:

• Support review of the Model Content Matrix, element classification, IFC 4.3 export requirements, predefined types, object types, and required project attributes.
• Assist with validation of model data against the BEP, MCM, applicable client BIM Manual, Asset Information requirements, and project-specific QA/QC checklists.

BEP and Standards Compliance:

• Monitor submitted models for compliance with the BEP, LOD requirements, model breakdown structure, naming conventions, ProjectWise workflows, and agreed coordination procedures.
• Support quality checklist completion for native models, IFCs, and federated model updates prior to coordination or delivery.

Subconsultant and Discipline Coordination:

• Coordinate with discipline BIM leads and subconsultants to obtain model updates, resolve coordination issues, and maintain alignment between model content, drawings, MCM, and deliverables.
• Facilitate technical discussions and document action items arising from BIM coordination meetings.

Guidelines, Training, and Documentation:

• Assist in preparing BIM guidelines, workflows, issue logs, clash reports, model review summaries, and other project-specific digital documentation.
• Provide support and training to project teams on model-based coordination, iTwin/Navisworks workflows, IFC review, LOD expectations, and ISO 19650-aligned information management.
• Test and support interoperability between Bentley platforms, Civil 3D, IFC 4.3, iTwin, Navisworks, and other project coordination tools, escalating technical issues when required.

Job Qualifications (Education, Experience, and Skills):

• Minimum Education: Demonstrated experience in BIM coordination and Bentley-based infrastructure workflows is required; formal education is not mandatory, although a degree or technical qualification in engineering, architecture, construction technology, BIM, or a related field is preferred.
• Minimum of three (3) years of experience in a BIM coordination role, particularly in large infrastructure, rail, transportation, or linear infrastructure projects.
• Proficient in Bentley Systems software, including ProjectWise, iTwin, OpenRail, OpenRoads, and other CONNECT Edition tools. Experience with Navisworks, Solibri, or Blender (Bonsai) for IFC/openBIM review and coordination workflows is preferred.
• Strong understanding of BIM methodologies, LOD requirements, model coordination across disciplines, IFC workflows, model classification, model attributes, and ISO 19650-aligned information management.
• Experience running clash detection workflows, preparing coordination reports, managing issues, and supporting BIM coordination meetings.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multi-discipline teams and explain technical workflows clearly.
• Valid Driver's License, with the ability to maintain insurability under the company's insurance carrier.

Preferred Experience:

• Linear Infrastructure / Transportation Projects: Experience working on rail, transit, highway, utility corridor, or other large linear infrastructure projects involving multiple disciplines and controlled digital delivery requirements.
• Client Standards and Digital Delivery Platforms: Experience with client or authority standards, ProjectWise CDE workflows, iTwin, Navisworks, Solibri, BIM Track, or similar issue-management platforms.
• OpenBIM Software Experience: Knowledge of Blender (Bonsai) for IFC review, openBIM coordination, model federation, or model-checking workflows is a plus.
• Subconsultant Coordination: Proven experience coordinating with subconsultants to ensure timely delivery of model updates, issue resolution, and alignment with project procedures.
