BIM Coordinator

The opportunity has arisen to join an industry leader in the UK's & Ireland's Building Services sector. Alternative Heat design, develop and deliver a wide range of offsite-prefabricated, innovative, and sustainable building service solutions throughout the UK & Europe.

We specialise in the design, supply, and installation of a wide range of prefabricated energy solutions, typically built in NI and shipped throughout the UK & Europe. We also offer turnkey design, build, and operate solutions for commercial energy centres and large-scale district heating solutions and have experience with successfully procuring and delivering many similar packages to a wide range of public bodies throughout the UK & Europe.

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.

We are looking to appoint a BIM Coordinator 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. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating MEP models, ensuring seamless integration with design and fabrication teams, and supporting our strategic commitment to digital delivery, carbon reduction, and lean construction methodologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• 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, 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.

Essential Criteria:

• Strong proficiency in Revit MEP, including family editing, worksets, filters, and model management.
• Experienced with Navisworks Manage for clash detection, model federation, and coordination reviews.
• Proven ability to interpret MEP schematics, layouts, and fabrication drawings.
• Proven experience as a BIM Coordinator within the MEP sector, ideally delivering projects from pre-construction through to as-installed stage.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to meet deadlines across multiple projects.
• Clear communication skills — capable of liaising with multiple teams internally and externally.
• Able to work independently, manage your own time, and meet project deadlines.

Desirable Criteria:

• Experience preparing fabrication-level models and construction drawings to support offsite manufacturing and prefabrication workflows.

Benefits:

• Full in-house training and career development opportunities.
• Competitive pension scheme.
• Life assurance scheme.
• Health cash plan.
• Full access to smart wellbeing platform.
• Annual flu vaccine.
• Free annual health check during working hours.
• Annual leave increasing in line with length of service.
• Lavish long service awards.
• Generously funded social events organised for all employees throughout the year via our Social and Wellbeing committee.
• Full access to car emergency kit.
• Annual Christmas raffle.
• Yearly allowance for AH branded clothing merchandise.
• Secure, free onsite parking.
• Dedicated departmental budget allocated annually for team building events during working hours.
• Free tea & coffee.
• Friendly and supportive working environment.
