BIM Engineer

Our client is a Northern Ireland-based engineering company, established in 2014 and recognised as an award-winning provider of innovative, technology-driven solutions across the power and water sectors. They specialise in designing and delivering bespoke, flexible systems that transform critical infrastructure for clients across the UK, Europe, and the United States.

This is a technically sophisticated M&E engineering environment operating within high-growth markets. With continued expansion across engineering, automation/controls, project management, and digital delivery, they are now seeking to appoint an experienced BIM Engineer to strengthen their design capability.

Reporting to the Head of Design, this role will take ownership of detailed modelling and digital coordination for containerised and skid-based power systems. It is a design-led position focused on producing accurate, buildable BIM models that integrate structural elements, major equipment, electrical systems, and auxiliary services within constrained modular environments.

This role combines hands-on BIM authoring with a strong appreciation for data, coordination, and digital delivery.

Key Responsibilities

BIM Authoring & Design

• Develop detailed Revit models for containers, skids, and modular units
• Model container frameworks, enclosures, and structural elements (bespoke and supplier-provided)

Systems Integration

• Model and coordinate electrical containment systems (tray, ladder, trunking, busbar)
• Define internal and external cabling routes

Thermal & Environmental Considerations

• Carry out or support heat loss and heat gain calculations within modular units
• Coordinate layouts to support effective ventilation and cooling strategies

BIM Content & LOD Management

• Convert or recreate existing 3D switchgear and equipment models into Revit families

Tender & Early-Stage Modelling

• Produce early-stage BIM layouts to support tender submissions and proposals

Data, Coordination & Digital Delivery

• Use Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or similar platforms for model sharing, coordination, and issue tracking

The Person

Essential Experience

• Strong Revit capability within an engineering or industrial BIM environment
• Proven experience modelling plant rooms, skids, containers, or modular systems
• Excellent spatial awareness and layout problem-solving ability
• Ability to interpret electrical and mechanical design information
• Comfortable working with evolving designs and incomplete inputs

Desirable

• Experience within power infrastructure, data centres, or industrial environments
• Familiarity with LV/MV equipment layouts
• Experience creating Revit families from existing CAD models
• Exposure to heat load or ventilation modelling
• Experience with ACC, Navisworks, or similar coordination tools

Personal Attributes

• Design-focused with a practical, solutions-driven mindset
• Confident making layout decisions and iterating designs
• Collaborative, with the ability to work across engineering, manufacturing, and project teams
• Strong interest in digital engineering and structured data (without being overly governance-heavy)

What's on Offer

• Early finish every Friday (12pm)
• Life Assurance (3x salary)
• Employer Pension Contribution (3%)
• Private Medical (option to add family)
• 30 days annual leave
• Strong, supportive workplace culture
• Ongoing professional development and career progression
