Senior BIM Modeler Electrical

Role description

Electrical modeling and documentation

• Develop models for power distribution, lighting, small power, containment, earthing, lightning protection, emergency systems, communications, security, and fire alarms as scoped.
• Produce coordinated plans, sections, elevations, schematics, schedules, details, and drawing sheets from approved models.
• Apply project templates, families, system definitions, shared parameters, view templates, filters, worksets, and naming conventions.
• Maintain valid equipment locations, cable routes, access zones, clearances, interfaces, and maintainability requirements.

Specialist electrical systems

• Translate single-line diagrams into coordinated 3D components and integrate UPS and battery-bank frameworks.
• Coordinate ELV pathways and spatial provisions for instrumentation, building automation and controls, fire alarms, and security surveillance.
• Develop layouts for transformers, switchgear, main distribution panels, and high-voltage infrastructure.
• Model multi-tier cable trays, raceways, and conduits with accurate routing, segregation, access, and coordination.

Coordination and project delivery

• Coordinate linked and federated models with mechanical, public health, fire protection, architecture, structure, civil, utilities, and other disciplines.
• Identify clashes, design inconsistencies, and missing information; communicate issues and support timely resolution.
• Use Autodesk Forma / ACC for document management, collaboration, coordination, publishing, issue tracking, reviews, and controlled information exchange.
• Prepare and update AutoCAD drawings, perform self-checks, respond to review comments, and support quality assurance and model-health processes.
• Follow project BIM plans, information delivery and Common Data Environment procedures, ISO 19650 principles, and quality requirements.
• Support model setup, digital-delivery planning, drawing production, data drops, and submissions to programme and budget.
• Interpret mark-ups, layouts, single-line diagrams, schematics, calculations, specifications, and red-line comments.
• Support multidisciplinary reviews and coordination meetings; guide and coach BIM and trainee BIM modelers.
• Contribute to standardization, content libraries, lessons learned, and continuous workflow improvement; follow health and safety requirements.

Qualifications and experience

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Substantial electrical BIM delivery experience; typically 4–7 years for a senior modeller.
• Experience on complex building and infrastructure projects, such as rail, tunnels, aviation, industrial plants, utilities, commercial or healthcare buildings, and data centres.
• Strong Revit MEP experience and working knowledge of AutoCAD for electrical modeling, documentation, and coordination.
• Practical Autodesk Forma / ACC experience, including Docs, Design Collaboration, Model Coordination, and issue management.
• Understanding of electrical systems, access, maintenance, clearances, mechanical interfaces, BIM processes, model federation, clash detection, and ISO 19650.
• Experience with model and drawing checks and quality-control procedures; attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines with limited supervision.
• Effective written and verbal communication, multidisciplinary collaboration, and proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications, particularly Teams, Outlook, Excel, and SharePoint.
