Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Model Creation: Develop detailed BIM models of MEP systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, using industry-standard software (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD MEP).
• Model Coordination: Collaborate with other project team members to ensure coordination between MEP systems and other building elements (e.g., structural, architectural).
• Ability to produce CSM – CSD.
• Data Management: Manage and maintain BIM data, including material properties, equipment specifications, and system performance data.
• Clash Detection: Identify and resolve clashes between MEP systems and other building components to prevent construction errors and delays.
• Quantity Takeoffs: Generate accurate quantity takeoffs for MEP materials and equipment based on the BIM model.
• Documentation: Prepare MEP drawings, schedules, and other documentation based on the BIM model.
• As-Built Modeling: Create as-built BIM models to document the actual construction of MEP systems.
• BIM Standards Compliance: Ensure compliance with project-specific BIM standards and best practices.
• Focus on MEP Items
• Responsible for the progressive updating of all MEP drawings, construction model and asset information model.
• Responsible for encoding all necessary 4D,5D and 6D codes.
• Inform technical coordinators and BIM coordinator on all model clashes and design discrepancies during construction model development.
• Ensure to achieve discipline level clash free or acceptable clash standards are observed in construction model and asset information model development.

Technical Leadership & Quality Assurance

• Model Review and Auditing: Conduct detailed quality checks and audits on MEP BIM models created by junior modelers or external parties to ensure adherence to BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and project specifications.
• Family Creation and Management: Develop, maintain, and standardize a comprehensive library of project-specific MEP BIM families (content creation), ensuring they contain accurate geometry, connections, and metadata/parameters required for 4D, 5D, and 6D applications.
• BIM Content Optimization: Optimize model performance by ensuring efficient file size and appropriate level of detail (LOD) for different project phases, especially during the pre-construction and construction phases.
• Template Development: Assist the BIM Lead in developing and maintaining project-specific MEP BIM templates (e.g., Revit templates) to enforce standards and increase modeling efficiency.

Coordination and Collaboration

• Advanced Clash Resolution: Lead the complex inter-disciplinary clash detection and resolution process using advanced tools (e.g., Navisworks, Solibri). Document and communicate required design changes effectively to the engineering team.
• Leading Coordination Meetings: Actively participate in, and sometimes lead, BIM coordination meetings specifically focused on complex MEP system routing and installation sequencing.
• Workflows and Procedures: Develop and document MEP-specific BIM modeling workflows and procedures for the project team to ensure consistency and efficiency.
• Interface Management: Specifically manage the modeling and coordination of complex MEP interfaces with structural elements, façade systems, and specialist equipment.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven (min required experience) experience in MEP BIM modeling, preferably in the construction industry.
• Proficiency in industry-standard BIM software (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD MEP).
• Strong understanding of MEP system design, installation, and operation.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Attention to detail and accuracy.
• Problem-solving and analytical skills.

Desired Skills and Qualifications

• Experience with BIM collaboration platforms (e.g., ACC, BIM 360, Autodesk Collaboration).
• Knowledge of Singapore building codes and regulations.
• Certification in BIM Modeling.
