CAD/BIM Technician

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced CAD / BIM Technician to join a growing team delivering complex mechanical and low-carbon energy projects across the UK.

Working on a range of innovative schemes including energy centres, district heating networks, heat pump installations, packaged plantrooms and prefabricated pipework systems, you will play a key role in developing coordinated BIM models, construction drawings and fabrication information from concept through to installation.

This role would suit someone with a strong background in mechanical building services, BIM modelling or pipework fabrication design who is looking to work on technically challenging and sustainable infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

BIM & CAD Modelling

Produce detailed 2D and 3D models using Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
Develop coordinated mechanical plantroom, energy centre and pipework models.
Create fabrication-ready layouts for prefabricated pipework, skids and modular plant systems.
Produce General Arrangement (GA), installation, section and elevation drawings.
Generate spool drawings, isometric drawings and fabrication information.
Maintain drawing and model quality in accordance with project BIM requirements.

Design Coordination

Coordinate designs with mechanical, electrical, structural and civil disciplines.
Participate in BIM reviews and clash detection workshops.
Ensure designs are practical, buildable and suitable for manufacture and installation.
Incorporate survey and point cloud information where required.
Support project teams during technical design reviews.

Project Delivery

Produce drawing packages through design, construction and as-built stages.
Manage revisions and updates following design changes and site feedback.
Assist with BIM documentation and project deliverables.
Support the preparation of O&M and as-installed documentation.

Offsite Manufacturing Support

Develop detailed fabrication models for carbon steel and stainless-steel pipework systems.
Produce fully dimensioned spool and skid drawings.
Liaise with workshop teams to resolve fabrication queries.
Ensure designs reflect manufacturing, transportation and installation requirements.

Requirements

Essential

HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, BIM, CAD or a related discipline.
Minimum 2 years' experience within a CAD or BIM role.
Proficiency in Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
Experience producing detailed mechanical layouts and construction drawings.
Strong understanding of pipework systems and mechanical plant installations.
Knowledge of BIM processes and coordinated design environments.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and P&IDs.

Desirable

Experience on energy centres, district heating schemes or heat pump projects.
Previous fabrication drawing or spool drawing experience.
Understanding of ISO 19650 BIM standards.
Experience using Navisworks, Plant 3D or point cloud modelling software.
Exposure to modular plantrooms, skids and offsite manufacturing processes.

What's on Offer?

Opportunity to work on innovative low-carbon energy and infrastructure projects.
Involvement in projects from design through to fabrication and installation.
Career development within a growing engineering and project delivery environment.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
