BIM Manager

Role Definition

The BIM Manager will coordinate and support design efforts throughout the preconstruction and construction phases of projects. They will guide and train in-house personnel and set standards for in-house and contract design professionals. The BIM Manager must have a strong engineering background and a desire to improve content and workflows for design. They are responsible for setting the standards for the use of Revit and associated software for design work and for maintaining content libraries. This role profile is subject to change at any time.

• Coordinate with vendors and suppliers to integrate manufacturer content that meets internal quality requirements

• Align content with project execution plans, model progression specifications, and discipline-specific standards

• Build and curate a centralized library of parametric families, assemblies, templates, and detail components

• Ensure all content meets quality benchmarks for geometry, performance, parameters, and documentation

• Regularly audit libraries to remove outdated content, consolidate duplicates, and improve usability

• Develop new BIM content to support project needs, fabrication workflows, and emerging technologies. Create content that supports automation, data extraction, and downstream digital workflows

• Optimize families for performance, ensuring efficient model behavior without sacrificing accuracy

• Implement QA/QC processes for reviewing new or updated content before it enters the production environment

TRAIN PERSONNEL ON THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

• Maintain a centralized, version-controlled repository of BIM standards, guidelines, templates, and reference materials.

• Conduct periodic audits of models, drawings, and deliverables to identify gaps and improvement opportunities.

• Define data structures, parameters, and classification systems that enable consistent reporting, scheduling, and analytics.

• Maintain alignment between BIM standards and related systems such as ERP, estimating, and asset management platforms.

REALITY CAPTURE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

• Define the organization's reality-capture vision, standards, and long-term roadmap.

• Maintain a structured intake process for capture requests, prioritizing based on project needs, risk, and value.

• Evaluate, select, and manage hardware and software platforms (laser scanners, drones, SLAM devices, processing tools).

• Develop standardized workflows for field capture, data processing, registration, QA/QC, and model integration.

• Ensure interoperability between point clouds, BIM models, and project management systems.

• Validate that capture outputs meet accuracy, density, and completeness requirements for their intended use (as-built verification, clash detection, prefabrication, etc.).
