As one of the longest established of Cundall’s many offices, the Birmingham team are a source of world leading expertise – and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence. Sustainability is embedded throughout Cundall, and we are committed to achieving Zero Carbon Design on all of our projects by 2030.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented Building Services Technician or Senior Building Services Technician (dependent upon experience) to join our team at our office in Birmingham to produce & coordinate BIM Models & Drawings for RIBA Stages 2-4 MEP Design for a wide range of exciting local & international building projects. As part of our established team of expert Engineers, Technicians & BIM Managers, and working closely with colleagues of various disciplines, you will develop coordinated BIM Models & Drawings following Cundall’s Templates & Design Standards. Additionally, you will have opportunities to use a variety of other digital engineering tools and software to support the design & coordination processes.

You will be expected to manage models from set up, view and sheet creation through to final issue with incorporated asset data. You will input COBie, IFC, Uniclass data into Models as and when required as per the Project BIM Execution Plan and Exchange Information Requirements. Depending on your experience, sufficient training will be provided to allow you to fulfil these duties. Where models are produced by engineers, you will review the models running clash detection and providing reports to engineers to aid coordination. If training is required to complete this then it shall be provided as part of the role.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute to our Automation Developments for Revit & BIM by submitting Ideas to our in-house Digital Team to be developed and incorporated into our standard ways of working, helping to drive forward Cundall’s Automation and improving business efficiency.
