BIM Engineer

Role Summary

Reporting to the Head of Design, the BIM Engineer will lead the detailed modelling and digital coordination of containerised and skid-based power systems. This is a design-led role focused on developing accurate, buildable BIM models that integrate structure, major equipment, electrical systems, and auxiliary services within constrained modular environments. The role combines hands-on BIM authoring with an understanding of data, coordination, and digital delivery.

Main Responsibilities:

BIM Authoring & Design

·         Develop detailed Revit models for containers, skids, and modular units

·         Model container frameworks, enclosures, and structural elements (bespoke or supplier-provided)

Systems Integration

·         Model and coordinate:

o    Electrical containment systems (tray, ladder, trunking, busbar)

o    Internal and external cabling routes

Thermal & Environmental Considerations

·         Carry out or support heat loss / heat gain calculations within modular units

·         Coordinate layouts to support ventilation and cooling strategies

BIM Content & LOD Management

·         Convert or recreate existing 3D switchgear and equipment models into Revit families

Tender & Early-Stage Modelling

·         Produce early-stage BIM layouts to support tendering and proposals

Data, Coordination & Digital Delivery

·         Use Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or similar platforms for model sharing, coordination, and issue tracking

The Person:

Required Skills & Experience

Essential

·         Strong Revit experience in an engineering or industrial BIM environment

·         Proven experience modelling plant rooms, skids, containers, or modular systems

·         Strong spatial awareness and layout problem-solving ability

·         Ability to interpret electrical and mechanical design information

·         Comfortable working with evolving designs and incomplete inputs

Desirable

·         Experience in power infrastructure, data centres, or industrial facilities

·         Familiarity with LV/MV equipment layouts

·         Experience creating Revit families from existing CAD models

·         Heat load or ventilation modelling experience

·         Experience using ACC, Navisworks, or similar coordination tools

Personal Attributes

·         Design-focused, practical mindset

·         Confident making layout decisions and iterating designs

·         Comfortable working across engineering, manufacturing, and project teams

·         Interest in digital engineering and structured data without being governance-heavy
