Major Infrastructure / Railway Programme | Central London | Hybrid – 3 Days Office-Based
AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPERIENCED BENTLEY MEP SPECIALISTS
Are you an experienced BIM MEP Technician / BIM Modeller with extensive, hands-on experience using Bentley OpenBuildings Designer?
Are you looking for your next major infrastructure opportunity, working on complex engineering projects where your Bentley and MEP modelling expertise will be genuinely valued?
My client, a leading engineering organisation and established client of Red King Resourcing, is looking to recruit experienced BIM MEP Technicians with strong Bentley OpenBuildings Designer (OBD), MicroStation and ProjectWise experience to support a major infrastructure programme in Central London.
This is an excellent opportunity to become involved in a substantial infrastructure programme with significant ongoing technical delivery requirements and a considerable volume of project work.
Both contract and permanent opportunities are available, offering flexibility for experienced specialists looking for either a contract engagement or a permanent career move.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A HEAVILY MEP-FOCUSED ROLE. THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES MUST HAVE SUBSTANTIAL, RECENT, HANDS-ON MEP MODELLING EXPERIENCE USING BENTLEY SOFTWARE. CANDIDATES WHOSE EXPERIENCE IS PREDOMINANTLY ARCHITECTURAL, STRUCTURAL OR GENERAL BIM MODELLING WILL NOT BE SUITABLE.
THE OPPORTUNITY
You will work within a multidisciplinary engineering environment, supporting the development and coordination of detailed 3D CAD models and construction information for major infrastructure and railway station projects.
Working alongside BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers, discipline leads and the wider project delivery team, you will be responsible for producing accurate, coordinated and high-quality MEP models and associated technical deliverables.
The role will involve working within established project information requirements, applying BIM standards and supporting the successful delivery of coordinated engineering information from technical design through to construction.

- Produce and develop detailed 2D and 3D MEP models using Bentley OpenBuildings Designer and MicroStation.
- Utilise Bentley ProjectWise with OpenBuildings Designer, Bentley RaceWay and MicroStation for detailed 3D CAD model creation and documentation.
- Produce high-quality MEP models and detailed construction drawings, ensuring integration with the wider project information models.
- Apply best practice and consistent modelling processes across the project.
- Ensure models are fully coordinated, using clash avoidance tools embedded within the digital twin and federated model environment.
- Liaise with discipline BIM leads to optimise clash results using suppression rules appropriate to the modelling methods.
- Develop model geometry and associated information in accordance with the Component Catalogue, BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and project information requirements.
- Carry out model reviews, internal audits and clash detection before model submission.
- Ensure all models and deliverables comply with relevant project requirements and quality standards.
- Support and liaise with BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers and the wider project joint venture team to resolve technical issues.
- Assist with the maintenance of the ProjectWise Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring accurate and timely information flow.
- Participate in quality assurance checks to ensure models and drawings meet the required standards of accuracy, detail and information delivery.
- Monitor compliance with the BEP and supporting project standards, contributing to BIM deliverable status reporting.
- Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure integrated and coordinated design outputs.
- Provide technical support and guidance to project team members on BIM-related issues.
