Role purpose

Produce accurate 2D/3D HVAC drawings and coordinated MEP models to support building-services design and installation, ensuring quality, buildability and compliance with current UK standards and client specifications.

• Create, develop and maintain coordinated MEP (HVAC) Revit models (ductwork, pipework, plant/equipment) and AutoCAD drawings: plans, sections, schematics, details and fabrication sheets.
• Produce drawing packages to agreed BIM/CAD standards, naming conventions and QA procedures; manage model/drawing revisions.
• Support clash detection/coordination with other disciplines and resolve issues ahead of construction.
• Prepare/export schedules, take-offs and deliverables from models; maintain drawing/document registers.
• Work with engineers to incorporate design calculations/specs into models and drawings; contribute to design reviews and technical reports.
• Ensure compliance with relevant UK building-services standards/guidance (e.g., CIBSE guidance) and project employer’s information requirements (EIR).
• Liaise with project managers, site teams, suppliers and subcontractors to accommodate sequencing, access, and prefabrication.

• Demonstrable experience as an HVAC CAD/Revit Technician/Designer in building services.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit (MEP) and AutoCAD for HVAC; ability to produce coordinated models and clear construction drawings.
• Understanding of HVAC systems (ventilation, comfort cooling, VRV/VRF, plantrooms) and typical detailing/coordination requirements.
• Familiarity with BIM workflows and common data environments; awareness of clash detection processes (e.g., Navisworks desirable).
• Working knowledge of UK building-services conventions/standards and QA processes used in consulting/contracting environments.

Desirable

• Experience on live UK projects for offices, healthcare, residential or industrial sectors, producing coordinated HVAC models and install packs.
• Knowledge of prefabrication/modularisation considerations in model/drawing production.
• Exposure to Revit add-ins, family creation, and discipline-specific content management.

Tools & platforms

• Autodesk Revit (MEP), AutoCAD (essential)
• Navisworks / BIM 360 / CDEs for coordination & issue tracking (nice to have).
