  • Prepare and maintain final as-built models and drawings.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers and field teams to resolve discrepancies before work is executed in the field.

  • Strong background in survey or civil design, preferred over pure architectural BIM.
  • Experience translating field data to office drafting and coordinated models.

  • Familiarity with Trimble Business Center (TBC) for survey design and drafting.
  • Experience with Revit for BIM modeling and 3D coordination.
