BIM Coordinator
The role running day-to-day model coordination — federation, clash detection and issue resolution.
A BIM Coordinator is the person responsible for the day-to-day technical coordination of a project's models. They combine the discipline models into a federated view, run clash detection, and turn what they find into tracked issues that the right discipline can pick up and resolve. In short, they make sure the separate models actually fit together.
The role is hands-on and tool-facing: setting up and maintaining the coordination environment, enforcing modelling and naming standards on incoming models, running coordination cycles, and chairing or feeding the coordination meetings where clashes are reviewed. It is distinct from the more strategic BIM Manager — the Coordinator operates the process the Manager defines.
It is one of the most searched-for BIM roles, and one of the clearest career entry points into coordination work. A good Coordinator is as much a communicator as a modeller: most of the value is in getting conflicts seen, assigned and closed, not just detected.
