• Be able to attend meetings due to different time zones (USA East/Central/West Coast, China, India).
• Be able to manage data and work directly within Autodesk Construction Cloud platform and viewer.

Clash Detection:

• Conduct regular clash detection analysis using Navisworks, identifying potential conflicts between different base building systems (architectural, structural, MEP) with hook-up MEP and process equipment
• Generate detailed clash reports, highlighting the nature and location of conflicts for effective communication with CLIENT internal and hook-up design-build teams.
• Facilitate clash resolution meetings to discuss and prioritize identified clashes, assigning responsibility for necessary design adjustments.

Model Coordination:

• Manage the CLIENT Federated BIM/Revit model, combining models from various disciplines into a single coordinated file for clash detection.
• Monitor model quality, ensuring accuracy and compliance with project standards and specifications.
• Implement workflows to ensure timely updates to the model as design changes or when clashes occur.
• Convert hook-up 3D model objects (ex. pipes, equipment) from different file format (ex. STP) into RVT (Revit) and NWC (Navisworks) format to be used BIM coordination and clash detection.
• Model 3D components in Revit from the 3D scanning point cloud data to be used for BIM coordination and clash detection.

Project Team Collaboration:

• Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders to identify and resolve design issues early in the design phase and during construction and installation phases.
• Train project team members on best practices for model creation and clash detection using Navisworks and Autodesk Construction Cloud ACC 3D Viewer.
• Lead regular coordination meetings to discuss clash resolution progress and next steps.

BIM Exchange Information Requirements (EIR):

• Monitor adherence to the CLIENT BIM EIR document, addressing any deviations and ensuring consistent model quality.
• Help improve and further develop CLIENT EIR, outlining standards, workflows, and deliverables related to model coordination and clash detection based on lesson learned on hook-up.
