About The Position

BIM Coordinator, Design-BuildOverview Westside Build is a Santa Monica–based home builder that specializes in helping homeowners rebuild high-quality, resilient homes after disasters such as fires, guiding clients from initial concept through to move-in. Our process starts with a deep discovery phase to understand clients’ needs and preferences, followed by custom design, permitting, construction, and a final hand-over of the finished home. Because we’re a design-build-development firm rebuilding homes after catastrophic wildfire loss, the stakes are real, the pace is fast, and the payoff is tangible: you’ll watch families move from loss to a rebuilt home you helped bring back to life. The Role This one moves construction. The BIM Coordinator serves as the connective tissue between design, preconstruction, and construction teams, ensuring models are accurate, coordinated, and constructible. We run projects like a modern production system: · Digital twins + prefab thinking + field-first execution + automation everywhere. You are the person who makes BIM stop being a department and start being the operating system. If you’ve ever thought: · “Why are we still doing this manually?” · “Why isn’t the model driving the work?” · “Why is BIM treated like paperwork instead of leverage?” You’ll fit in immediately.

Requirements

Technical Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Revit and Navisworks.
The Automation Edge: Strong experience with Dynamo (or similar computational tools) to streamline workflows.
Field-First Mindset: You understand how buildings actually go together. You can look at a model and see the construction sequence, not just the geometry.
Systemic Thinker: You don't just solve one clash; you solve the process that allowed the clash to happen.
Experience: 3+ years in BIM coordination, preferably within a design-build or high-end residential environment.
Proficient in Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, BIM 360 / ACC, Bluebeam and Procore
Degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent construction/Architecture experience

Nice To Haves

Grasshopper and coding is a plus

Responsibilities

Ownership over BIM standards, workflows, and tooling across the company
Coordinate BIM models across architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines.
Maintain model accuracy, version control, and adherence to BIM standards.
Perform clash detection and lead coordination reviews using federated models.
Ensure models reflect design intent, constructability, and field conditions.
Enforce BIM execution plans (BEPs), naming conventions, and modeling standards.
Support continuous improvement of BIM workflows and coordination processes.
Assist with implementation of new BIM tools, templates, and best practices.
Support field teams with model-based drawings, details, and visualizations.
Coordinate model updates based on RFIs, submittals, and field changes.
BIM That Builds: You aren’t just making pretty pictures. You are coordinating models for field logic—sequencing, tolerances, and the reality of installation.
Computational Thinking (Dynamo): This is a Non-negotiable. You use Dynamo and development skills to automate manual tasks, drive efficiency, and ensure we aren't doing the same thing twice.
