* Coordinate with multiple CAD and BIM teams to confirm design input requirements, track clashes, and support issue closure before deadlines.
* Use CAD workstations, CAD resources, BIM tools, and engineering inputs to develop drawings from sketches, layouts, flow sheets, assemblies, isometrics, component details, and general design information.
* Prepare basic arrangements, layouts, routing plans, cross sections, utility network drawings, component details, and model-based design deliverables.
* Manage BIM-related activities from project start-up through completion in coordination with design, engineering, and delivery teams.
* Review drawings for readability, presentation quality, technical accuracy, and adherence to company QA and QC processes.
* Create and manage parametric and non-parametric families to support project modelling requirements.
* Produce schedules, quantity extractions, and model-based information required for design reviews, reporting, and submissions.
* Support clash detection, clash reporting, clash resolution, and model-based design review across infrastructure disciplines.
* Document design changes, drawing revisions, model updates, and project amendments for future reference and auditing.
* Manage digital archiving of completed drawings, models, and related project documents in an organized and accessible system.
* Maintain effective communication with team leads, engineers, designers, and other departments to resolve design discrepancies and coordination issues.
* Apply quality control checks to identify drafting, modelling, coordination, or presentation errors early in the design process.
* Customize CAD tools and workflows where appropriate to improve productivity and streamline repetitive design tasks.
* Support client and stakeholder submissions at different project stages by ensuring deliverables are accurate, complete, and well presented.
* Coordinate ROW-related drawings, cross sections, routing plans, and existing utilities information as required.
* Support training initiatives and knowledge sharing within the BIM team.
* Identify design and review challenges and contribute practical solutions that improve project delivery quality.
