ABOUT THE ROLE
At CannonDesign, we believe in leveraging data-driven solutions throughout our projects to improve outcomes. Our integrated BIM environment enables this process.

- Establishing and leading recurring technology-related meetings such as client BIM engagement meetings, contractor BIM coordination, clash detection sessions, or digitally enabled design review sessions as needed.
- Depending on the size of the project/program, leading a team of model managers and BIM specialists to ensure that the digital delivery is cohesive and standardized across the program delivery mechanisms.
- Partnering with consultants and our clients to ensure that the digital health of the models is maintained, and digital collaboration is supported as needed.
- Responsible for identifying additional technology opportunities to be leveraged on the project, leading to better client outcomes and advancing firm expertise.
- The digital technology manager, in partnership with the Design Technology team, be responsible for the successful rollout of these new technologies on the project.
- Working with the Design Technology team to bring new technologies to design teams and bring design & delivery insight to the broader organization.
- Travel as required. Professional business attire required when attending client meetings.

ABOUT YOUR QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelors degree in architecture, engineering, or technology required.
- Minimum of 10 years of experience working in the digital realm of the A/E/C industry and a solid understanding of project phases from design through construction/close out.
- Prior experience in BIM management, VDC coordination, etc. for large programs or projects is preferred.
- Good verbal and written communication skills, strong organizational skills, experience training others in the design, delivery, and use of BIM.
- Strong leadership skills and client engagement capabilities.
- Strong technical knowledge of model authoring tools like Revit, analysis tools like Insight 360, Dynamo, and review tools like Navisworks, Bluebeam, Revizto, Enscape, and other Design Applications.
