BIM Manager - Architecture
At HDR, we're doing something different.
As an employee-owned business, our people don't just contribute to projects, they take ownership of them.
We're seeking an experienced BIM Manager to join our Architecture practice, supporting the digital delivery of major projects across a diverse range of sectors, including Healthcare, Education, Science & Technology, Data Centres and Defence.
Working alongside our architects, designers, project leaders and multidisciplinary engineering teams, you'll use your strong Revit and BIM capability to support project set-up, model coordination, information management and digital workflows across complex architectural projects.
Our portfolio includes Defence projects and secure environments, alongside projects across other sectors. Australian Citizenship is therefore a mandatory requirement for this position.
The Opportunity
As BIM Manager, you'll support BIM implementation and digital delivery across projects within our Architecture practice.
You'll establish and maintain project BIM standards and workflows, support project mobilisation, oversee model health and coordination, and work closely with project teams to ensure BIM requirements are understood and consistently applied.

- Support the development and management of data-rich BIM documentation, technical drawings and schedules.
- Establish appropriate model structures and documentation packages in line with project delivery requirements.
- Troubleshoot BIM execution and coordination issues throughout the project lifecycle.
What We're Looking For
You'll be an experienced BIM professional who understands the realities of delivering large and technically complex architectural projects.
You'll be comfortable establishing project BIM requirements, getting into the detail of a Revit model, troubleshooting delivery issues and working collaboratively with project teams.
You'll bring:
- Experience in BIM management within an architectural, building design or multidisciplinary consulting environment.
- Highly advanced Revit capability and strong knowledge of BIM methodologies and workflows.
- Experience establishing and managing BIM requirements across large or complex projects.
- Strong capability in BIM model auditing, model health, coordination and quality assurance.
- Experience coordinating BIM delivery across multidisciplinary project teams.
- Strong understanding of architectural documentation and project delivery processes.
- The ability to provide practical BIM guidance and technical support to project teams.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills.
- A collaborative, proactive and highly organised approach.
- Australian Citizenship, which is mandatory due to the Defence projects and secure environments this position will support.
- Previous experience delivering Defence, Federal Government or secure facilities projects – highly regarded.
- Tertiary qualifications in Architecture, Architectural Technology, Design Technology or a related discipline.
This role is open to candidates across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
