The role completes the migration of critical design assets to cloud platforms, establishes quality control procedures for BIM content, and creates documentation for design workflows from concept through construction documents.

Working closely with engineering, coordination, and detailing teams, this position identifies process improvements, implements automation tools, and ensures design standards align with fabrication capabilities and cost data requirements.

Description of Duties:

Leadership

• Supervise, train, and evaluate team members responsible for content development and design processes, fostering a collaborative and efficient work environment
• Provide technical mentorship to engineering team members on Revit best practices and workflow optimization
• Develop and update BIM standards, policies, and procedures to ensure consistency across projects
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, workflow automation, and design system optimization
• Lead cross-functional collaboration between design, coordination, detailing, and fabrication teams

Process Development & Standards

• Develop and maintain company-wide Revit standards, templates, and workflows for mechanical and plumbing design and engineering
• Create process documentation for design progression from schematic through design development to construction documents
• Establish design review processes ensuring engineered solutions are correct before entering coordination or detailing phases
• Define handoff protocols with BIM Manager and Detailing Manager to ensure seamless workflow transitions

Content Management

• Oversee development of Revit families and ITM content representing actual fabrication capabilities and methods
• Establish quality control procedures, version control, and content release workflows
• Define and enforce data schema ensuring geometric content remains properly linked to pricing database
• Build scalable content management systems designed to accommodate team growth

Cloud Migration & Infrastructure

• Complete final phase of cloud migration, transitioning Revit families, templates, and fabrication database from on-premises to cloud storage
• Establish cloud-based collaboration workflows for content development, review, and publishing
• Define access controls, folder structures, and permissions in cloud environment
• Ensure database connectivity and geometric content relationships remain intact through migration
• Train design team and content builders on new cloud-based workflows

Strategic Collaboration

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to prioritize content development and identify process improvements
• Serve as liaison with pricing database management to ensure geometric and cost data remain synchronized
• Evaluate and implement Revit plugins, add-ins, and automation tools to improve productivity
• Continuously identify bottlenecks and opportunities for workflow optimization

Preferred Knowledge, Experience & Skills Requirements:

• Background in mechanical or plumbing design/engineering
• Advanced Revit proficiency with deep understanding of families, templates, parameters, and content management
• Demonstrated experience migrating BIM content libraries to cloud platforms (Autodesk Construction Cloud, Navisworks, Revizto)
• Strong understanding of database concepts, data management, and maintaining data relationships
• Experience developing and documenting technical processes and standards
• Understanding of MEP systems and mechanical/plumbing design engineering and documentation methods
• Dynamo scripting experience for Revit workflow automation and content management (Preferred)
• Experience with MEP fabrication content, databases, and design-to-fabrication workflows (Preferred)
• Familiarity with Python or other programming languages for advanced automation (Preferred)
