We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented AV CAD/BIM Technician to support the design and implementation of integrated Audio Visual (AV) systems. This role combines proficiency in CAD drafting with BIM modelling to produce accurate, coordinated, and standards-compliant documentation for AV infrastructure across commercial, institutional, and public sector projects. The successful candidate will work closely with project engineers, project managers, architects, and other stakeholders to create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models that integrate seamlessly within multidisciplinary project environments.

Key responsibilities:

• Work with AV design engineers to translate system designs into detailed, build-ready documentation.

• Incorporate AV infrastructure into architectural, mechanical, and electrical BIM models, ensuring proper coordination with other trades.
• Utilise Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks (or similar software) to create coordinated AV models in compliance with project BIM Execution Plans (BEPs).
• Maintain and update AV families and content within Revit libraries, ensuring consistency and adherence to project and industry standards.
• Participate in model coordination meetings and clash detection processes using BIM tools.
• Assist with as-built documentation, ensuring accurate post-installation documentation.
• Collaborate with internal and external teams to ensure AV designs meet technical, architectural, and construction requirements.

Skills and experience:

• Experience in AV drafting/modelling.
• Experience working on commercial projects across corporate and public sector verticals preferred.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit required.
• Experience with Navisworks, BIM 360 or Bluebeam is a strong plus.
• Ability to interpret architectural, electrical, and construction documents.
• Knowledge of building construction processes and MEP coordination.
• Understanding of BIM standards and practices (e.g., LOD specifications, COBie, clash detection).
• Familiarity or qualifications in AV industry standards such as InfoComm/AVIXA CTS preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Excellent technical documentation, communication and teamwork skills.
