In this role, you will serve as the BIM subject matter expert for County-operated facilities and building systems. You will be responsible for providing essential building information needed for ongoing construction and maintenance projects, directly supporting the lifecycle management of over 170 facilities. If you enjoy collaborating with diverse partners, maintaining efficient systems that prevent duplicate data, and helping develop our 3D building models, we would love to have you on our team.

• A/E Coordination: You will serve as the primary technical point of contact for Architecture and Engineering (A&E) firms, guiding them on our data standards and ensuring their Revit models integrate perfectly with our internal facility systems. You will also help onboard and train external stakeholders to keep workflows moving efficiently.

• Database Management: You will review, catalog, and standardize project record drawings and documentation within our database, ensuring safe internal and external team access while tracking equipment lifecycles.

• AutoCAD & Specialized Drawing Production: You will update CAD drawings to reflect real-world site changes and create customized graphical resources like Custodial Maps, Snow Maps, and Pre-Incident Utility Plans.

• Training & Collaboration: You will deliver supportive virtual and in-person training to help coworkers comfortably navigate systems like Bluebeam, Google Docs, and Masterworks.
