Senior BIM Engineer - Wet Utilities
Experience Range: 5+ years
Qualification: Bachelor of Civil Engineering/ Technology
Key Responsibilities :
- Develop, coordinate, and manage BIM models for wet utilities including potable water, sewer, stormwater, and highway drainage networks using BIM standards and project requirements.
- Produce 3D models, federated models, clash detection reports, and maintain BIM execution aligned with project BIM Execution Plans (BEPs).
- Create and manage layouts, general arrangements, plans, profiles, sections, and detailed BIM deliverables using tools like Civil 3D and Navisworks.
- Collaborate closely with design teams to convert engineering inputs, calculations, and sketches into BIM-compliant models and structured digital information.
- Execute quantity takeoffs, model-based analysis, and data extraction using BIM workflows.
- Provide technical guidance to BIM Modellers, CAD Designers, and junior team members working on utility models.
- Participate in project meetings, present BIM models to clients, and support coordination workshops for design resolution.
- Ensure adherence to international BIM standards (ISO 19650, company BIM protocols, QA/QC procedures).
Education and Professional Skills:
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering; Master's in Water Resources Engineering/Environmental/Hydraulics Engineering is an advantage.
