• Populate accurate geometry, attributes, parameters and metadata and follow model structure, classification, BIM naming and shared-parameter standards.
• Self-check before submission and publish or update models in the Common Data Environment through WIP, Shared and Published workflows.
• Support model federation, clash detection and issue resolution, closing assigned clashes and model issues within agreed deadlines.
• Implement traceable design changes, control versions and update history, and keep information containers aligned with approved inputs.
• Coordinate with the BIM Coordinator, discipline leads, project engineers and stakeholders on interfaces, technical requirements and priorities.
