Ive got multiple things on my mind, and if anyone cares to answer any questions or comment, feel free. Id love the feedback:
My current position is mechanical designer. I have found myself in a position where I am also the mechanical BIM manager for all intents and purposes, but without the official title or time allocated to perform that role properly. MEP company of about 50 people. Heavy in Revit, moderate in AutoCAD, light Navisworks experience and various other programs. Long story short I have come across an opportunity to become the BIM manager at a design-build firm of about 150-250 people, and it would be a brand new position for the company as well.
Hey all. Ive got an interview coming up and am hoping I can get some insight from some of you wise BIM folk.
