Description

Team Overview

Our BIM (Building Information Modelling) team plays a vital role in delivering accurate, coordinated, and data-rich 3D models for use throughout the design, construction, and installation phases of our projects. Working closely with design engineers, project managers, and site teams, the department ensures that all mechanical and electrical services are fully integrated and clash-free prior to construction. This proactive approach helps reduce risk, improve efficiency, and enhance collaboration across all stakeholders — ultimately supporting the successful delivery of high-quality, bespoke MEP solutions.

Role Overview

We are looking to appoint an MEP BIM Engineer/Senior BIM Co-ordinator with a strong background in MEP to support the delivery of prefabricated solutions and decarbonisation-driven projects. This role has become essential due to a growing pipeline of work focused on sustainable building practices and increased demand for offsite prefabrication.

What You'll be Doing

• Using Revit & Navisworks, you will develop and manage fully coordinated MEP models, integrating architectural and structural elements to ensure clash-free, buildable solutions.
• As the project progresses and should prefabricated solutions be used, you’ll interface with prefabrication teams, preparing LOD500, fabrication ready models, construction drawing packs, and detailed spool drawings to support efficient offsite manufacturing.
• You’ll take the lead in model coordination workshops, chairing regular model reviews with consultants, supply chain partners, and site teams to resolve issues before they hit site.
• You’ll manage the Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring version control, structured data management, and clear history throughout the project lifecycle.
• During construction, you’ll liaise closely with the site team to validate installations, updating models based on redlines, site markups, and change requests.
• Towards project completion, you’ll produce accurate, as-installed models to support commissioning & handover.
• Throughout, you’ll play a key role in driving sustainability, using BIM data to help track embodied carbon, material selections, and energy strategies that align with decarbonisation goals.
