• Identify technical concerns and design conflicts at an early stage.
• Assist with tracking and closing out clashes.
• Ensure coordinated models comply with BIM Execution Plan requirements.

CAD & Drawing Production

• Produce and update 2D drawings and layouts using AutoCAD.
• Generate drawings from BIM information for project documentation.
• Provide technical BIM support to the CAD function.
• Ensure drawings accurately reflect the latest coordinated design.
• Develop detailed model outputs from existing 2D design information.

Project & Design Support

• Work alongside CAD technicians, designers, engineers and project teams to deliver BIM requirements.
• Liaise with stakeholders and construction trades to resolve design and coordination matters.
• Attend project meetings and provide technical BIM input.
• Communicate issues clearly and ensure actions are followed through.
• Support delivery of BIM information within agreed timescales.
• Manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high standard of technical accuracy.
