• Liaise with discipline BIM leads to ensure optimized clash results using suppression rules based on modelling methods.
• Support the production of high-quality 3D CAD models and detailed construction drawings for specific elements of railway station projects, ensuring integration with overall project information models.
• Produce model geometry and information in line with the Component Catalogue and outline information within the BIM Execution Plan (BEP).
• Ensure all models that are submitted, meet the project requirements set out, and Ensure systems are in place for clash avoidance, internal model audits and clash detection before model submission.
• Support and liaise with the BIM Coordinators, BIM Modellers, and wider project joint venture team in the implementation of deliverables adhering to specified project standards and to facilitate issue resolution.
• Assist in the maintenance of the project's ProjectWise Common Data Environment, ensuring accurate and timely information flow and adherence to data management standards.
• Participate in quality assurance checks of to ensure they meet the project's accuracy, detail, and the employers information requirements.

• Assist in monitoring compliance with the BEP and the supporting project standards, contributing to regular reports on BIM deliverable status.
• Work closely with all disciplines to ensure the 3D CAD models are integrated and coordinated efficiently, attending regular coordination meetings as necessary.
• Provide technical support and guidance to project team members on BIM-related issues.
