ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES:

Model Management- Create and maintain complex 3D surfaces using points, breaklines, and boundaries.

Corridor Design- Develop intelligent 3D roadway models using alignments, profiles, and custom assemblies.

BIM Workflow- Implement and manage Data Shortcuts to maintain a _single source of truth_ across multi-disciplinary project teams.

Automated Production- Set up and manage Sheet Set Manager and Plan Production tools to generate high-volume construction sets (Plan/Profile/Cross-Section) with minimal manual editing.
