• Coordinate with architects, engineers and consultants to ensure model accuracy and consistency throughout bid development.
• Identify sequencing, logistics and buildability risks through digital construction reviews and assist in developing practical solutions.
• Maintain organised digital workflows, model version control and project documentation.
• Support the wider Bid Team by producing engaging visual material that clearly communicates proposed construction methodologies.
• Work with BIM and VDC teams to continually improve digital workflows, templates and visualisation standards.
• Keep up to date with developments in 4D planning, digital construction, visualisation and emerging technologies.
