• Perform clash detection using Navisworks or equivalent tools, focusing on cargo apron utilities, drainage, electrical, and AGL interfaces.
• Prepare clash reports, track issues, and coordinate resolution with designers, contractors, and consultants.
• Ensure timely closure of BIM‑related technical queries.
• Provide BIM support during construction, assisting field teams with model‑based verification and sequencing.
• Coordinate incorporation of site changes, RFIs, and approved variations into BIM models.
• Ensure accurate development of as‑built models for cargo apron and airside infrastructure.
• Coordinate daily with engineers, designers, and construction teams to align BIM deliverables with project schedules.
• Participate in coordination meetings, engineering workshops, and progress reviews.
• Serve as the key BIM interface between contractors, consultants, and the project management team.
