Summary

Chamberlain Advisors is partnering with a nationally recognized design-build architecture firm specializing in financial institutions, retail environments, and corporate spaces to identify a a strategic, hands-on BIM Manager to lead the evolution of their Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities and drive a company-wide initiative toward data-driven design and cost intelligence.

This role is not simply focused on model management—it is a systems-building leadership position responsible for establishing scalable BIM standards, developing data-embedded modeling practices, and integrating BIM with estimating and preconstruction workflows. This role will play a critical part in shaping the organization’s transition to a data-driven design-build model by establishing foundational BIM and estimating infrastructure, influencing software selection and workflow architecture, and driving how design data is translated into meaningful cost and operational insights. The individual in this position will help position the firm for scalable growth, increased efficiency, and continued innovation across its project delivery processes.

The ideal candidate will operate at the intersection of design, technology, and construction, helping transform how project data is structured, extracted, and leveraged across the full project lifecycle. Click Now to Apply!
