Description:
The Digital Specialist will be a key member of the Digital Delivery & BIM team, responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing digital engineering solutions across the ECWE SRS project. This role goes beyond typical BIM support — the successful candidate will bring strong programming skills, the ability to develop internal applications, and proven experience in construction environments.
You will work closely with engineering, construction, and systems teams to design and deliver data-driven solutions, automate workflows, support app development, and ensure effective implementation of BIM and CDE processes aligned with ISO 19650 and project requirements.
This is a senior, hands-on technical role for an individual who can bridge software development, digital engineering, and construction industry workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop internal web-based applications, dashboards, and automation tools to support design, construction, and quality management workflows.
- Build and maintain database interfaces (SQL, PostgreSQL, Firebase, or similar).
- Develop or support AI/ML solutions for model validation, classification, data extraction, and quality control.
- Create and maintain scripts, APIs, and integrations with Autodesk ACC, SharePoint or other CDE platforms.
- Support model review processes, digital coordination workflows, and integration between BIM and data-driven tools.
- Support BIM model checks for completeness, metadata structure, asset data, and discipline alignment.
- Assist with enforcing BEPs, MIDP requirements, ISO 19650 naming conventions, and asset information structures
- Develop scripts or tools to improve document control, model sharing, revision tracking, and auditability.
- Collaborate closely with construction, field engineers, systems, and QA/QC teams to digitalize site processes.
- Help deliver 4D/5D-enabled workflows, field data capture, and digital site reporting.
- Build and maintain dashboards for performance tracking, model progression, asset readiness, and digital reporting.
- Ensure data integrity, consistency, and alignment between BIM models, databases, and reporting tools.
