The Opportunity

We are seeking a motivated and technically proficient BIM Designer to join our multidisciplinary team delivering impactful water and energy projects, in one of our offices in Cardiff, Bristol or Birmingham. The ideal candidate will lead and deliver high-quality BIM modelling and coordination for water infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and client requirements. This role involves close collaboration across disciplines to support the design and delivery of sustainable water solutions, with a strong emphasis on leading multi-disciplinary coordination. With frameworks and major projects across the UK in both water and energy, our pipeline of work is strong. We offer flexibility to support your development whether you're looking to deepen your technical expertise or grow into leadership. Initially, you will develop and manage detailed 3D BIM models for water infrastructure projects (e.g., pipelines, pumping stations, treatment works) and lead multi-disciplinary coordination, ensuring seamless integration of civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical design elements. You will facilitate regular coordination reviews and model federation to identify and resolve clashes and design conflicts, produce accurate 2D drawings, sections and schedules from BIM models and maintain model integrity, version control, and compliance with BIM Execution Plans (BEPs). The role will allow you to liaise with clients, contractors and supply-chain partners to ensure BIM deliverables meet expectations, mentor junior BIM technicians and contribute to continuous improvement of BIM processes whilst ensuring adherence to UK BIM standards (e.g., ISO 19650), Arup standards and water industry specifications.
