- Conduct QA/QC checks on models for internal teams and subcontractors.
- Support digital tendering efforts and contribute to project-level digital reporting.
- Represent BIM in project coordination and progress meetings.
- Collaborate on the development of standards, templates, and digital procedures.

What We're looking For

- Strong understanding of ISO 19650 and BS 1192.
- Proficiency in BIM authoring tools (e.g., Revit, Tekla, Archicad).
- Experience in BIM coordination tools (e.g., Navisworks, Revizto).
- Familiarity with openBIM standards (IFC, COBie) and model checking (e.g., Solibri).
- Knowledge of CDE platforms (Aconex, BIM 360) and scheduling tools (MS Project, Primavera).

- Understanding of 4D/5D BIM workflows and outputs.
- Strong communicator with collaborative mindset.
- Detail-oriented, analytical, and proactive.
- Resilient under pressure with strong time management.
- Passionate about digital innovation in construction.
