3D MODELER / BIM MODELER - AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Role overview

Modeling and design production

• Create and manage coordinated 3D models for airport infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, utilities, drainage, grading, and specialist equipment.
• Build terrain, corridor, and utility models from surveys, GIS data, point clouds, and engineering specifications.
• Produce construction plans, sections, profiles, schedules, and quantity take-offs traceable to the master model.
• Maintain object libraries, families, templates, and naming conventions for project consistency.
• Apply geometry, classification, and asset data per the project BIM Execution Plan.

Coordination and information management

• Share and manage discipline models in the Common Data Environment (CDE) following project protocols.
• Integrate discipline models into federated systems; lead clash detection, clearance checks, and model health reviews.
• Collaborate with engineers to verify design intent and resolve data inconsistencies or geometric conflicts early.
• Support 4D planning, constructability assessments, logistics, and facility asset handover.

Visualization, automation, and delivery

• Produce renderings, animations, walkthroughs, and phasing sequences for stakeholder reviews; streamline models for real-time visualization while retaining design geometry and intent.
• Use approved AI and scripting tools for model generation, parametric studies, rendering, and data verification; validate AI-assisted outputs against approved engineering inputs.
• Follow data protection, intellectual property, and cybersecurity rules; public or unapproved AI platforms are prohibited.
• Perform self-checks and peer reviews, meet delivery schedules, flag constraints early, and support construction-stage queries or as-built updates.
• Follow company and client health, safety, environmental, and document-control procedures.

Qualifications and experience

• Diploma, higher diploma, or bachelor's degree in civil engineering, architecture, geomatics, BIM, drafting, or a related technical discipline.
• At least 5 years of relevant 3D/BIM modeling experience; airport, transportation, or other major infrastructure experience is preferred.
• Advanced practical capability in AutoCAD Civil 3D and Revit, including model structuring, coordinates, surfaces, corridors, utilities, object data, families, and production drawings.
• Working knowledge of Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, and at least one visualization platform such as 3ds Max, Twinmotion, Lumion, or equivalent.
• Demonstrable experience in multidisciplinary model federation, clash detection, issue management, quantity extraction, and model-based design reviews.
• Practical knowledge of ISO 19650, BIM Execution Plans, Common Data Environments, naming and status conventions, model approval workflows, and information security.

Advantageous experience

• Dynamo, Python, visual scripting, parametric design, automated checking, point-cloud processing, or GIS integration is advantageous.
• Understanding of airport geometry, operational constraints, safeguarded zones, airside interfaces, and equipment such as PCA, GPU, VDGS, and PBB is advantageous.
