As a BIM Technician you'll work on projects that make a real difference to our environment and our communities - enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of water and wastewater treatment systems. You will play a pivotal role in delivering BIM and Digital outputs throughout the lifecycle of various projects. From concept design to commissioning, you will ensure that all BIM aspects are meticulously considered and integrated.

The role of a BIM Technician includes:

• Delivering CAD/BIM design data and undertaking quality control processes and contributing to development of the CAD/BIM standards.
• Using 3D modelling to support design collaboration, clash resolution, asset data capture, digital rehearsal and cost capture.
• Supporting the development of the common data environment platform and process (Autodesk CC).
• Creating and developing a standardised BIM element library, to support model reuse and a production approach, including identifying affordable and low carbon solutions.
• Taking responsibility for cyber security aspects associated with CAD/BIM data and access.
• Undertaking validation of CAD/BIM models from suppliers and integrating into our models.
• Working with designers to manage the competing tensions of time, cost and quality.
• Managing safety, wellbeing, environment and sustainability within your BIM/CAD output.
• Supporting the project team’s understanding of BIM and supporting less experienced BIM technicians, providing technical and professional guidance to aid their development.

What you’ll need:

• Recognised qualification in Computer-aided design (CAD), BIM or related field; or equivalent experience in a similar field.
• Proficiency in one or more 3D authoring packages, ideally Autodesk (Revit, Civil 3D), as well as 2D CAD authoring experience.
• Knowledge of water, or wastewater, non-infrastructure or infrastructure projects.
• Experience in authoring 3D models in a common data environment platform (Autodesk CC); an understanding of working in a CDE and managing BIM data throughout the project lifecycle is ideal.
• Understanding of key principles of information management as set out in ISO 19650.
