Narrative:

I was the first officer on a trip from columbus, oh, to teb, nj. The aircraft was a gulfstream iv. We arrived at XA29. The captain landed on runway 6, turned left on taxiway a, then proceeded taxiway left and taxiway P to the ramp. We saw linemen marshalling us to a parking space. We were taxiing west on taxiway P, entering the ramp. As directed by 3 marshalers, we made a 180 degree right turn. As we completed the turn, I felt a bump. I asked the captain 'what was that?' the aircraft was parked and we discovered line service looking at damage on our left wing. We had contacted the radome of a parked hawker. Line service was marshalling us with 3 people. They never told us to stop. I could not see what was happening from my side of the aircraft. I recommend line service have training in parking aircraft. I also think pilots should not trust line service employees to park them. Always taxi defensively. I think the captain put too much trust in line service.
