Key Responsibilities:

Coordinate federated BIM models across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, architectural, and structural disciplines for data center projects.
Perform 3D clash detection, spatial coordination, and interference analysis using Navisworks, Revizto, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or comparable platforms.
Plan and facilitate regular MEP coordination meetings, assign issues to responsible parties, and document agreed resolutions and due dates.
Create, maintain, and track clash reports, coordination logs, model health reports, and issue dashboards through closure.
Review equipment layouts, routing, penetrations, access zones, service clearances, ceiling spaces, and plantroom arrangements for constructability and maintainability.
Verify that discipline models comply with the BIM Execution Plan, project coordinates, naming conventions, approved Revit templates, model segmentation, and file exchange requirements.
Review model geometry and data for the required Level of Development and Level of Information, including system classifications, parameters, equipment data, and asset information.
Coordinate major data center systems, including HVAC and cooling, hydronic and plumbing networks, electrical distribution, containment, fire protection, controls, and related equipment interfaces.
Support the production and review of coordinated drawings, installation information, schedules, and model-based deliverables at each project stage.
Work with design and construction teams to resolve coordination-related RFIs, design changes, field constraints, and model discrepancies.
Manage model exchange, publishing, version control, and issue workflows in Autodesk Construction Cloud and other project collaboration environments.
Contribute to BIM quality assurance, coordination standards, Revit content, templates, and continuous improvement of digital delivery processes.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, architecture, construction management, or a related discipline.
Minimum 5 years of hands-on BIM experience on multidisciplinary building projects, including substantial MEP model coordination responsibility.
Experience coordinating data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial buildings, healthcare facilities, or other technically complex projects.
Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems and their spatial and operational interfaces.
Advanced Autodesk Revit skills, including model linking, worksharing, coordinates, model health, families, parameters, and schedules.
Strong experience with Navisworks Manage or Revizto for clash detection, issue tracking, and multidisciplinary coordination.
Working knowledge of Autodesk Construction Cloud, including model publishing, document control, coordination spaces, and issue workflows.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, equipment layouts, system diagrams, and construction documentation.
Knowledge of BIM Execution Plans, common data environments, Level of Development requirements, model QA/QC, and digital delivery standards.
Written and spoken English at B1 level or higher, with the ability to conduct technical coordination meetings.
Clear communication and documentation skills for coordinating with international design teams and trade partners.
Strong organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple coordination priorities in a remote project environment.
