BIM Manager and digital delivery leader building enterprise BIM strategies for mission-critical multidisciplinary projects.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a BIM Manager and Digital Delivery leader with 20+ years of experience developing enterprise BIM strategies, BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), model governance, and QA/QC programs. I standardize Revit practices, build and maintain family libraries, and lead multidisciplinary coordination through structured BIM workflows.
In my current role, I lead enterprise BIM strategy across multiple regional offices—driving Revit templates, shared parameters, and enterprise content libraries. I administer Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC/BIM 360) environments and digital collaboration workflows, and I run BIM kickoff meetings, Navisworks clash detection, and QA/QC reviews.
Earlier, I contributed as a Mechanical Designer / BIM Specialist, developing construction documents in Revit MEP for federal, aviation, and commercial projects, and coordinating clash detection and issue resolution. I’ve also led CAD/BIM standards and enterprise technical support, mentoring junior designers and BIM staff to ensure consistent delivery quality.
