Currently, specialized technical skills in the use of BIM methodology are in high demand, especially in the field of architecture. Even during the pandemic, job offers in this area have remained relatively stable, especially due to the flexibility of this methodology and the possibility of working collaboratively from remote locations. However, when looking for a new job, those interested in BIM should consider several questions: What am I specialized in? What areas are in highest demand? What type of professional BIM role is the most common?
As the architecture and construction industries slowly familiarize with the world of Building Information Modeling, we must appreciate each of the BIM roles as well, many of which are likely a mystery to the average industry worker. BIM Modeler, BIM Manager, BIM Coordinator, BIM Consultant, BIM Analyst, BIM Project Manager. These are only some of the roles that we have read and heard so much about. To better grasp and differentiate them, we highlight two distinct characteristics according to which each role can be measured: breadth of knowledge and professional experience.
Evaluating these characteristics, we can conclude that the more experienced, the higher the position a BIM professional holds within a company. But on the other hand, the broader their knowledge of the BIM methodology, the greater the range of possibilities when finding a new job.
