Communication & Accountability

• Communicate clearly and promptly with project teams regarding BIM issues, priorities, and resolutions.
• Track open BIM-related issues and follow them through completion 
• Escalate significant technical, schedule, or process risks when appropriate.
• Build strong working relationships with staff across all project teams and experience levels.
• Other tasks as assigned.

Requirements
