WilkinsonEyre has designed award-winning buildings, bridges and masterplans in the UK and internationally since 1983. Its work spans culture, sport and leisure, education, infrastructure, residential and workplace, and includes the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the cooled conservatories at Gardens by the Bay and the restoration of Battersea Power Station. Projects are often large, geometrically complex and international, and are developed through close collaboration across the studio.
The role
WilkinsonEyre is recruiting a junior BIM coordinator for a full-time, permanent position based in its London studio five days a week. Reporting to the BIM manager, the role provides day-to-day BIM support to project teams across the practice. The BIM manager leads strategy, contractual information requirements and external co-ordination, while the BIM coordinator works alongside design teams to keep models, workflows and information in good order.
The position offers broad exposure to live projects at every stage, with mentoring from the BIM manager and scope to grow into a more senior co-ordination role.
Responsibilities:
- supporting design teams with Revit modelling, model setup and day-to-day software troubleshooting
- supporting teams in moving geometry and information between Rhino, AutoCAD and Revit, and resolving interoperability issues as they arise
- helping teams establish and follow efficient workflows in line with the project BIM execution plan (BEP) and WilkinsonEyre Digital Production Standards
- federating models and running clash detection, and preparing clear reports for the BIM manager and project teams
- monitoring model health and performance, and carrying out routine model maintenance
- checking that information is accurate and suitable before it is shared through the common data environment (CDE)
- assisting with updates to BEPs and other project BIM documentation
- attending co-ordination meetings and helping to prepare for them, and following up on actions with project teams
- contributing to the development of the practice’s templates, content libraries, standards and process guidance
Essential skills and experience:
- one to three years’ experience using Revit on architectural projects, ideally within an architectural practice
- a sound understanding of model setup, worksharing and family creation
- working proficiency in Rhino and AutoCAD, and experience of bringing Rhino and CAD information into Revit
- experience of clash detection and model review using Navisworks or a similar tool
- working knowledge of a common data environment such as Autodesk Construction Cloud
- an awareness of ISO 19650 and the UK BIM Framework
- a qualification in architecture, architectural technology or construction technology, or equivalent experience
- a BIM-related qualification, such as an MSc in BIM, Autodesk Certified Professional in Revit, or ISO 19650 training or certification from BRE or BSI
- experience with Rhino.Inside.Revit or Autodesk Data Exchange
- visual programming with Dynamo or Grasshopper
- Revit add-ins such as pyRevit, DiRoots, Ideate tools, Autodesk Model Checker for Revit and Autodesk BIM Interoperability Tools
- programming with the Revit API or RhinoCommon in Python or C#
- data visualisation in Microsoft Power BI
Personal attributes
The role suits someone who enjoys working closely with design teams and is patient and approachable when helping colleagues, whether the question is simple or complex. Clear written and verbal communication is important, as is a methodical approach to problem-solving. The work involves moving between several teams and projects, so the ability to organise time well and work independently once priorities are set matters as much as technical skill.
Alongside a competitive salary, employees receive a range of benefits, including:
- private medical care with BUPA
- group life assurance
- group income protection
Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
