This role ensures that digital tools—particularly BIM, AutoCAD, Revit, fabrication modeling, and field technologies—are effectively supporting design coordination, prefabrication, shop production, and field execution. The CTM acts as the bridge between engineering, fabrication, operations, and field teams, ensuring technology investments translate into improved productivity, quality, safety, and predictability. This is a hands‑on leadership role focused on standardization, enablement, and scale, not full‑time drafting or modeling.   Key Responsibilities Technology Leadership & Strategy Own and manage the company’s construction technology ecosystem, including BIM, CAD, model coordination, and field platforms. Define and maintain company standards for Revit, AutoCAD, BIM execution, model handoff, and digital deliverables. Evaluate, pilot, and implement new technologies that improve design‑build delivery, prefabrication, and field productivity. BIM, CAD & Model Governance (MEP‑Focused) Provide enterprise‑level ownership of Revit and AutoCAD for MEP design‑build workflows. Establish and maintain: Revit templates, families, and shared parameters aligned to MEP and fabrication needs CAD standards, layering, and file management practices Support model coordination, clash detection, and constructability reviews in partnership with engineering and project teams.
