BIM Designer - Facade and Aluminum Systems Job Snapshot Role: BIM Designer - Facade and Aluminum Systems Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates Industry: Construction Function: CAD-Drafting Experience: 3-5 years of BIM modeling or drafting experience, preferably within aluminum, facade, curtain wall, glazing, or cladding projects Job Type: Full-time Position Overview

BIM Designer - Facade and Aluminum Systems in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is a Construction opportunity focused on developing coordinated BIM models, shop drawings, fabrication details, and installation information for complex aluminum and building envelope systems. This hiring role requires strong Revit and AutoCAD capability, practical knowledge of curtain walls and glazing, and close coordination with structural, architectural, production, and project teams to ensure models are accurate, constructible, and suitable for factory fabrication and site execution.

Job Details Country: United Arab Emirates City: Dubai Industry: Construction Function: CAD-Drafting Salary: 8000-13000 Estimated salary range based on similar jobs in the job city; please confirm the final offer with the employer. Gender: Any Candidate Nationality: Any Job Type: Full-time

Role Context The BIM Designer will convert architectural intent and facade engineering requirements into detailed digital models and coordinated technical drawings that support design approval, fabrication, and installation. The position sits between design development and production, requiring an understanding of how curtain walls, glazing, aluminum profiles, brackets, anchors, and cladding systems are assembled and installed. Accuracy at model level has a direct impact on factory output and site productivity. By identifying clashes early, maintaining disciplined revision control, and producing fabrication-ready information, the role helps reduce rework, improve coordination, and support timely project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed 3D BIM models for curtain walls, windows, doors, skylights, louvers, glazing systems, and architectural cladding.
• Build models from approved architectural drawings, project specifications, design intent, and engineering requirements.
• Create and maintain parametric Revit families, facade components, and reusable BIM libraries.
• Apply project BIM standards, naming conventions, modeling procedures, and required Level of Development criteria.
• Coordinate facade models with architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
• Review multidisciplinary models and drawings to identify clashes, dimensional conflicts, and design inconsistencies.
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings and contribute practical solutions to model and interface issues.
• Work closely with Structural Engineers and Facade Designers to verify structural interfaces and constructability.
• Extract coordinated shop drawings directly from approved BIM models.
• Prepare fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, installation drawings, elevations, sections, plans, and detailed component views.
• Develop technical details for aluminum profiles, mullions, transoms, brackets, anchors, connections, glazing, and fixing systems.
• Produce schedules and drawing information required by factory and site teams.
• Check drawing dimensions, interfaces, references, and fabrication details before issue.
• Ensure drawings accurately reflect approved models and latest design revisions.
• Incorporate consultant comments, RFIs, design amendments, and site instructions into models and drawings.
• Maintain disciplined revision control so superseded information is not used for fabrication or installation.
• Coordinate updated model and drawing releases with Design, Engineering, Production, and Project teams.
• Resolve drawing and model queries raised by factory personnel during fabrication.
• Support project teams when installation conditions require clarification or model verification.
• Update BIM information to reflect approved construction changes and site conditions.
• Assist with the preparation of as-built BIM models and final project drawings.
• Support clash detection exercises using Navisworks or other BIM coordination tools where required.
• Maintain organized digital project files, model versions, linked references, and technical documentation.
• Verify consistency between architectural intent, structural requirements, facade details, and production information.
• Contribute to improved BIM workflows, component libraries, and drawing standards for recurring facade systems.

Ideal Profile

• Diploma or Bachelor 's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3-5 years of relevant experience in BIM modeling, technical drafting, or facade design support.
• Previous experience within aluminum, facade, curtain wall, glazing, cladding, or building envelope projects is strongly preferred.
• Advanced working knowledge of Revit and AutoCAD.
• Experience with Navisworks or similar BIM coordination platforms is advantageous.
• Strong understanding of curtain wall systems, aluminum windows and doors, glazing, cladding, and associated support components.
• Able to interpret architectural, structural, and facade drawings accurately.
• Experienced in producing detailed shop drawings and fabrication information.
• Good knowledge of aluminum profiles, mullions, transoms, brackets, anchors, and connection details.
• Familiar with BIM standards, clash detection procedures, coordination workflows, and Level of Development requirements.
• Able to build and manage parametric Revit families and project-specific components.
• Comfortable coordinating with Structural Engineers, Facade Designers, BIM teams, production personnel, and site teams.
• Strong attention to dimensional accuracy, revision control, and drawing quality.
• Capable of resolving design and coordination issues without compromising fabrication or installation requirements.
• UAE or GCC project experience is preferred.
• Able to manage multiple model updates and drawing priorities within demanding project schedules.
