The Role at a Glance:
NBBJ is seeking a Studio BIM Leader to join our Digital BIM team, based in Columbus, providing leadership, implementation support and technical enablement across multiple project teams to improve quality, consistency and productivity through Building Information Modelling (BIM).
The successful candidate will operate at a more senior, strategic level, working with the Digital BIM Team to define, evolve and implement BIM standards, tools and workflows. They will bring advanced Revit capability, strong technical judgement and the interpersonal skills needed to support adoption across the studio.

This position offers opportunities to grow within the team and across the firm, with exposure to an innovative, fast-paced and collaborative environment.
