• 
  

  Combine architectural, structural, and MEP trade models into a coordinated federated model

  
  
• 
  

  Perform clash detection and identify conflicts between building systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural)

  
  
• 
  

  Work with project teams and trade partners to resolve coordination issues prior to construction

  
  
• 
  

  Maintain accurate and up-to-date models throughout the project lifecycle

  
  

• 
  

  Participate in preconstruction planning and coordination efforts

  Lead or support weekly coordination meetings with subcontractors, designers, and project teams

  
  
• 
  

  Communicate design conflicts and coordinate solutions across multiple stakeholders

  
  
• 
  

  Track RFIs, observations, and action items and follow through to resolution

  
  
• 
  

  Assist with coordination schedules and ensure modeling milestones align with project schedules

  
  

• 
  

  Prepare models for use in the field (tablets/iPads and viewing platforms)

  
  
• 
  

  Support superintendents and field staff with model navigation and layout understanding

  
  
• 
  

  Assist in resolving field coordination issues during construction

  
  
• 
  

  Update models to reflect design revisions and field changes (as-built conditions)

  
  

• 
  

  Help improve internal VDC processes and modeling standards

  
  
• 
  

  Support project teams and subcontractors in understanding BIM/VDC requirements

  
  
• 
  

  Assist in the transition from design coordination to construction execution

  
  

• 
  

  Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Technology, or related field

  
  
• 
  

  1+ years of experience in BIM/VDC, construction coordination, or building modeling within the AEC industry

  
  
• 
  

  Experience coordinating architectural and MEP systems on commercial construction projects

  
  
• 
  

  Ability to read and understand construction drawings and specifications

  
  

• 
  

  Proficiency in Revit and Navisworks

  
  
• 
  

  Familiarity with BIM collaboration platforms (BIM360, Procore, or similar)
