Position Summary
The BIM/Field Engineer bridges modeling and field execution. You’ll translate coordinated models and shop drawings into accurate layout and installation in the field, resolve clashes/RFIs with project teams, and keep as-builts and documentation current so work stays safe, on schedule, and to spec.
Key Responsibilities
Model & Document Control: Update and manage coordinated models (Revit/Navisworks), shop drawings, submittals, and as-builts; maintain version control in BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Field Layout: Generate points and run total station/robotic layout (Trimble/Leica) for sleeves, embeds, hangers, racks, and equipment; verify elevations, slopes, and tolerances.
Clash Coordination: Lead/participate in coordination meetings; track issues, create RFIs, and drive timely resolutions with GC, design team, and trades.
Installation Support: Produce spool sheets, installation details, and pull sheets; ensure material readiness, accurate takeoffs, and field-ready information.

VDC-to-Field Workflow: Convert model data into practical work packages and look-ahead plans; align with superintendent/foreman on daily priorities.
Data Capture: Perform laser scans/point clouds (where applicable); reconcile scans to model for clash avoidance and progress verification.
Reporting & Controls: Track quantities, earned vs. spent hours (basic productivity metrics), and update weekly progress photos/logs.
Safety & Compliance: Follow site safety protocols (JHAs, PPE) and enforce model/field changes through approved processes.
Qualifications
Education/Experience: BS in Construction Management, Engineering (ME/EE/CE), Architecture, or equivalent and 2–5 years in BIM/VDC or field engineering (MEP or GC). Strong craft/field exposure may substitute for degree.

Technical Skills: Read/interpret plans, sections, details, and specs; generate layout points; understand tolerances, slopes, and MEP system basics (supports, sleeves, penetrations).
Coordination: RFI writing, issue tracking, and cross-trade communication; comfortable presenting in coordination meetings.
Field Aptitude: Comfortable on active jobsites, verifying dimensions, and supporting crews; able to lift/handle equipment and work at heights as needed.
Certifications (Nice-to-Have): OSHA 10/30, FAA Part 107 (drone), Laser scanning experience, PE/EIT or CMIT a plus.
Soft Skills: Organized, detail-driven, proactive problem solver with solid written/verbal communication and a safety-first mindset.
