- Develop and mange comprehensive 3D models for substations, control buildings, and the associated civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical components.
- Utilize autodesk revit and other BIM tools to create accurate models and generate 2D extracts for design reviews and approvals.
- Implement robust clash detection and resolution procedures using tools such as navisworks or equivalent.
- Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams(Electrical, Civil, Structural, HVAC, Architectural) to ensure model consistency and integration.
- Maintain and update models with latest vendor and subcontractor data; ensure all objects are properly tagged and documented.
- Generate deliverables directly from 3D models, Including:
- General arrangement drawings
- Equipment layouts
- Cable tray and trench layouts
- Structural framing plans, elevation, and sections
- Earthing, Lighting & Lightning protection layouts
- Civil and architectural drawings
- Collaborate with engineers and project managers to ensure design accuracy and compliance with standards.
- Prepare construction documents and specifications based on BIM models.
- Conduct clash detection and resolve issues during the design phase.
- Assist in the training and mentoring of junior designers in BIM practices.
