  • Perform QA/QC on installation drawings, ensuring precision before release to the field.

Client Collaboration & Problem Solving

  • Act as a frontline representative for BIM/VDC support with mechanical contractors and field teams.
  • Work hand-in-hand with foremen to address constructability concerns and optimize mechanical layouts.
  • Attend weekly BIM coordination meetings, present issues, and contribute to problem resolution.
  • Support remote teams, provide technical direction, and ensure modeling efficiency.
  • Assist with site visits to validate constructability and improve future BIM workflows.

What We're Looking For
