Job Description *This position can be based in any of our US based CDM Smith offices. With high-level goals provided, prepares basic to highly complex intelligent models, details, and/or general arrangement drawings through proper translation of level of design (LOD); prepares drawings and sketches of unusual, complex, or original designs requiring the application of predominantly practical engineering knowledge. On transit and multimodal projects, coordinates and integrates intelligent models across all design disciplines — architecture, vertical structures, transportation structures, roadway design, and MEP — into federated, clash-checked, deliverable-ready models. Cross-discipline coordination — Serves as the firm's go-to Intelligent Modeling Coordinator for transit and multimodal projects, coordinating deliverables across architecture, vertical structures, transportation structures, roadway design, and MEP into a single federated, clash-checked model throughout the project lifecycle. Model coordination & clash detection — Runs clash detection in Navisworks and leads resolution across disciplines, catching conflicts early rather than in late-stage design or construction. Standards & governance — Establishes, documents, and enforces CADD/BIM standards, templates, and workflows across offices, built on the Autodesk stack and compliant with governing transit agency and DOT design criteria. Mentorship & guidance — Provides lower-level modeling personnel with design sketches for preparation of finished design drawings and general layouts, and guidance in refining technical requirements; mentors and trains production staff across offices to build a repeatable, institutional capability. Acts as Intelligent Modeling Coordinator for basic to highly complex projects during the project lifecycle to ensure coordination between the design team. Performs crosscheck of drawings to ensure consistency of drawings, cross sections, section placement, and layering guidelines, and adherence to the firm's Q/QC standards. Performs CADD/technical support tasks such as verifying intelligent model integrity, managing model health and versioning, and maintaining interoperability across the Autodesk toolset (and Bentley where projects require it). Reviews manufacturers' or fabricators' prints for aid in design documents. Determines material needs and performs necessary calculations using accepted formulas and references per the firm's standards. Establishes design criteria for assigned phases of a project requiring the application of engineering principles, material properties, and familiarity with construction, installation, and maintenance procedures. Provides general conceptual input to projects during the planning stages and supports or leads field assignments as required. Develops BIM Execution Plans, contributes to model-based deliverable scoping, and advises pursuit teams on integration approach, LOD, and production level of effort (LOE).
