BIM & Design Coordination Lead - Job Description

Improve Group is seeking an experienced BIM professional to join our team in the newly created role of BIM & Design Coordination Lead. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of how we design, coordinate, and deliver innovative construction projects. The BIM & Design Coordination Lead will help the design team translate client goals and project requirements into coordinated Building Information Models (BIM), technical drawings, and integrated design solutions that support successful project delivery.

As part of a fast-growing company that seamlessly integrates architecture, prefabrication, manufacturing, and construction, you will play a key role in developing standardized BIM workflows, advancing design coordination, and optimizing our project delivery processes. You will serve as the organization's BIM subject matter expert, helping teams leverage technology to improve collaboration, quality, constructability, and efficiency across every phase of a project.

Working collaboratively with architects, project managers, superintendents, estimators, and engineering partners, this role contributes throughout the entire project lifecycle-from programming and conceptual design through construction administration. The BIM & Design Coordination Lead develops coordinated Revit models, construction documentation, and design solutions that support commercial, federal, and modular building projects while helping improve project quality, constructability, and overall client outcomes.

This position is primarily based in our Albuquerque, New Mexico office with a hybrid work schedule available following onboarding. Exceptional candidates may be considered for an approved remote work arrangement within the United States, with the expectation of spending approximately one week per month in our Albuquerque office. Occasional travel to project sites, client meetings, and company events may be required (up to 20%).
