• Working with designers to manage the competing tensions of time, cost and quality.

• Supporting the project teams’ understanding of BIM and supporting less experienced BIM technicians by providing technical and professional guidance to aid their development.

What you’ll need:

• Recognised qualification in Computer‑aided design (CAD), BIM or related field.
• Proficiency in one or more Autodesk authoring packages (Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD).
• Knowledge of water, or wastewater, non‑infrastructure or infrastructure projects.
• Experience in authoring 3D models in a common data environment platform (Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM360).
• An understanding of working in a common data environment platform (Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM360) and managing BIM data throughout the project lifecycle.
• Understanding of key principles of information management as set out in ISO 19650.
