    Overview

    About me: Tarek Ghazzaoui

    My name is Tarek Ghazzaoui, I live in Vancouver, Canada, and I have experience in Canada and the US in BIM.

    I launched BIM Careers in 2021 as a way for me to primarily share my experience, views and thoughts about BIM, design technology and VDC in the AECO industries, and secondarily to share those of BIM professionals as well.

    Academic

    • Bachelor’s in building engineering

    • Certificates in project management, marketing and product development

    • Alumnus of Concordia University, McGill University, BCIT and Cornell University

    Work

    • Worked on projects ranging from $200M to $2.2B representing AECO stakeholders

    • Worked on hospitals, airports, factories, sports complexes, residential, commercial and mixed-use projects

    Interests

    • Languages (English, French, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin Chinese)

    • Sports (swimming, biking, cycling, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hiking, golf)

    • Interests (technology, history, food, travel)

    I believe that BIM Careers offers valuable and unique content because it discusses BIM topics relating to strategy, management and human resources, with the occasional technical topics.

    Its online presence is also unique because it communicates the perspective of BIM professionals, including my own, through blog articles, video podcasts and cartoons simultaneously in a professional, slick and branded blog.

    I sincerely hope you find it valuable.

    The vision: BIM Cartoons

    BIM Cartoons’ vision is to bring to light issues and situations that BIM professionals face by sharing satirical cartoons about BIM in the workplace.
