Job Description- BIM Manager

Position Title- BIM Manager

Location- Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Job Purpose

The BIM Manager is responsible for developing, managing, and delivering Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes and models across the project lifecycle.

The role ensures effective digital integration of site survey, setting out, infrastructure, and utility works, supporting accurate construction execution and the generation of as-built (record) models and drawing

Key Roles and Responsibility -

• BIM Strategy & Implementation
• Develop and implement the Project BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in alignment with project and client requirements.
• Establish BIM standards, workflows, and protocols in compliance with ISO 19650 and Dubai Municipality / RTA BIM requirements
• Ensure BIM integration across design, construction, and handover phases.
• BIM Model Development
• Oversee the development and maintenance of federated BIM models across all disciplines.
• Ensure delivery of accurate and coordinated models for Civil, Structural, MEP, Rail systems and utilities.
• Manage the preparation of Point Layout BIM Models to support site activities.
• Site Survey & Setting Out Integration
• Integrate BIM with site survey data (e.g., point clouds, GIS data).
• Utilize BIM for site verification and digital terrain modelling
• Support setting out activities using BIM-driven coordinates and layouts, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
• Infrastructure & Utility Coordination
• Manage BIM coordination for Infrastructure works, Utility diversions and installations
• Perform clash detection and resolution using BIM tools.
• Ensure coordination between design disciplines to avoid construction conflicts.
• Construction & As-Built Management
• Ensure BIM is effectively used for Construction sequencing (4D) and Quantity take-offs (5D, where applicable)
• Oversee conversion of construction data into accurate as-built (record) BIM models.
• Ensure all record drawings are generated directly from validated BIM data.
• Data Management & Documentation
• Manage BIM data within a Common Data Environment (CDE) (e.g., Aconex, BIM 360).
• Ensure proper version control, model validation, and audit trails.
• Maintain BIM documentation including Model submission logs, Coordination reports and Clash reports
• Team Leadership & Coordination
• Lead and manage BIM coordinators and modelers.
• Coordinate with Design teams, Construction teams, Survey teams and Subcontractors
• Conduct BIM coordination meetings and workshop
• Support audits and regulatory reviews related to BIM.
• Quality & Compliance
• Ensure BIM models comply with Project standards and specifications, Client requirements and Dubai regulatory frameworks
• Perform model audits and ensure data integrity and accuracy.
• Training & Digital Enablement
• Provide training and guidance on BIM tools and workflows.
• Promote digital construction practices across the project team.
• Support adoption of advanced BIM applications (e.g., digital twins).
