BIM Coordinator

SUMMARYDI exists to relieve the world of mediocre experiences and to create remarkable ones. Our people make the remarkable possible through an unwavering display of uncommon commitment each day.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager and VP, Director of Engineering, the BIM Coordinator is accountable for coordinating how a project’s exhibit design interfaces with the host building. This role bridges DI’s internal design and engineering teams and the external parties responsible for the building: the Architect of Record (AOR), Structural Engineer of Record (SEOR), General Contractor (GC), and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).Working

alongside assigned Lead Engineers and Project Managers, the BIM Coordinator owns facility-interface coordination from early design through installation. On heavily integrated projects, this person serves as DI’s direct point of contact with the AOR, GC, and SEOR.The BIM Coordinator builds and maintains a federated coordination model that combines exhibit and building models into a shared reference for design coordination with the architect and construction coordination with the general contractor.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES/FUNCTIONS may include but are not limited to:

Facility Interface & Coordination Serve as the primary point of contact for facility-interface questions on assigned projects, supporting the Lead Engineer and Project Manager without assuming their overall project ownership.

Communicate directly with the Architect of Record, General Contractor, and SEOR on heavily integrated projects, as determined case by case.

Translate internal design intent from Sketch Up/Rhino concept and schematic models, along with Solid Works engineering production models and drawings, into formats suitable for coordination with external project partners.

Obtain the Architect of Record’s base-building model in Revit or IFC format and combine it with DI’s design and engineering models using shared coordinates to establish an accurate, in-context reference for facility coordination.

Model Coordination & Clash Detection Maintain the federated coordination model through design and construction, incorporating revisions from DI teams and updated architectural models as they are issued.

Perform clash detection to identify conflicts between exhibit elements and the building’s structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems before fabrication or installation begins.

Coordinate resolution of identified conflicts with DI teams, the Architect of Record, and the General Contractor before work reaches the field, reducing rework, change orders, and contractor claims.

Produce facility-interface drawings defining requirements such as in-wall blocking, footings, and overhead anchoring.

Coordinate exhibit power and data requirements with design, engineering, and the AV/technology team, and communicate those requirements to the facility’s project team.

Permitting, Submittals & RFI Support Prepare concise, accurate permit drawing packages for building department submittal, scoped to the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Respond to plan review comments and work with the AHJ to clarify or resolve comments that fall outside the project scope.

Prepare and track submittals to the Architect of Record and General Contractor, including shop drawings, product data, and deferred submittals for exhibit structural elements.

Support the Project Manager and Lead Engineer by drafting RFIs to the Architect of Record and General Contractor and preparing responses to incoming project RFIs. The Project Manager retains ownership of RFI tracking.
