BIM Coordinator

Overview

Westside Build is a Santa Monica-based home builder that specializes in helping homeowners rebuild high-quality, resilient homes after disasters such as fires, guiding clients from initial concept through to move-in. Our process starts with a deep discovery phase to understand clients' needs and preferences, followed by custom design, permitting, construction, and a final hand-over of the finished home.

The BIM Coordinator serves as the connective tissue between design, preconstruction, and construction teams, ensuring models are accurate, coordinated, and constructible.

We run projects like a modern production system:

• Digital twins + prefab thinking + field-first execution + automation everywhere

You are the person who makes BIM stop being a department and start being the operating system.

If you ve ever thought:

• "Why are we still doing this manually?"
• "Why isn t the model driving the work?"
• "Why is BIM treated like paperwork instead of leverage?"

BIM Coordination & Model Management

• You will have Ownership over BIM standards, workflows, and tooling across the company
• Coordinate BIM models across architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines
• Maintain model accuracy, version control, and adherence to BIM standards
• Perform clash detection and lead coordination reviews using federated models
• Ensure models reflect design intent, constructability, and field conditions

Standards, Processes & Quality

• Enforce BIM execution plans (BEPs), naming conventions, and modeling standards
• Support continuous improvement of BIM workflows and coordination processes
• Assist with implementation of new BIM tools, templates, and best practices

Construction & Field Support

• Support field teams with model-based drawings, details, and visualizations
• Coordinate model updates based on RFIs, submittals, and field changes

Core Ownership

• BIM That Builds:
  You aren t just making pretty pictures. You are coordinating models for field logic—sequencing, tolerances, and the reality of installation
• Computational Thinking (Dynamo):
  This is a Non-negotiable. You use Dynamo and development skills to automate manual tasks, drive efficiency, and ensure we aren t doing the same thing twice

• Impact:
  We aren t just building houses; we are rebuilding lives
• Innovation:
  We are small enough to be nimble but ambitious enough to redefine how homes are built
• Culture: A high-performance, low-ego team that values speed, precision, and automation

Qualifications

• Technical Mastery:
  Expert-level proficiency in Revit and Navisworks
• The Automation Edge:
  Strong experience with Dynamo (or similar computational tools) to streamline workflows
• Field-First Mindset:
  You understand how buildings actually go together. You can look at a model and see the construction sequence, not just the geometry
• Systemic Thinker:
  You don t just solve one clash; you solve the process that allowed the clash to happen
• Experience:
  
  3+ years in BIM coordination, preferably within a design-build or high-end residential environment
• Proficient in Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, BIM 360 / ACC, Bluebeam and Procore
• Grasshopper and coding is a plus
• Degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent construction/Architecture experience

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off
• Retirement savings plan

This role is Hybrid working onsite 4 days a week.

Salary range is $85, commensurate with experience
