The BIM Manager serves as a primary Revit resource for Facilities Information and Technology Services (FITS) at The Ohio State University. They perform a variety of tasks associated with OSU’s BuckeyeBIM (Building Information Modeling and Management) initiatives (https://go.osu.edu/buckeyebim).  Primary responsibilities include converting existing AutoCAD based buildings to Revit based models, modeling existing buildings in the absence of existing documentation, standardizing incoming project models for use as owner models, developing and maintaining in-house Revit families, and overseeing internal BIM modeling standards and processes.  

Regularly review and manage incoming work to determine appropriate prioritization. Provide Revit training and oversight for the work of student interns that assist in creating and maintaining Revit models of university buildings, including auditing for quality, standards, and performing the final processing to relevant OSU systems.

With Facilities Information and Technology Services (FITS), you join a team that prioritizes innovation in every facet of our work. We are constantly searching for ways to use various facilities and geospatial data and systems to help Ohio State make better decisions more quickly. This requires our team to stay curious by constantly pursuing new knowledge with a willingness to change for continual improvement. Skill development is not just expected, it’s required, and we support this by investing the necessary budget to get you the training you need. As a high performing team, every member takes complete ownership of their function while collaborating closely with each other and our customers. We function and communicate effectively and respectfully in a diverse, multicultural, and inclusive setting.
