Job Purpose

The BIM Modeller is responsible for developing managing and coordinating detailed 3D models for the light rail project. The role supports design development multidisciplinary coordination drawing production and data compliance in accordance with project BIM standards client requirements and delivery milestones.

• Civil 3D Modeling: Develop comprehensive 3D models for underground dry and wet utility networks (storm drainage sanitary sewers water distribution culverts tanks and catch basins) as well as roadways grading surfaces pavements alignments profiles assemblies and corridors.
• Data Management: Create and manage data shortcuts and drawing references across multi-user environments using Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Desktop Connector.
• Design Collaboration: Coordinate with civil utility and roadway engineers to model existing staged and proposed site servicing grading and drainage designs.
• Documentation & Deliverables: Generate accurate plan profile and cross-section model and sheet files for design construction and regulatory submissions.
• Customization & Standards: Set up and customize object styles label styles pipe network styles part lists and sheet sets to meet project-specific requirements.
• Interdisciplinary Coordination: Conduct clash detection and coordination reviews across disciplines (utilities drainage grading pavements subgrade conditions foundations and electrical duct banks).
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure models adhere to municipal infrastructure standards provincial guidelines Transport Canada ICAO Annex 14 OPSD and other applicable codes.
