Job Summary
Should have extensive experience in Building Information Modelling (BIM) coordination on EPC projects, preferably Data Centres & Manufacturing Facilities.
Has expert-level knowledge of Autodesk Revit, including electrical modelling of equipment, cable trays, conduits, lighting and grounding. Should also know family creation, templates, parameters and model standards. Should be proficient in Navisworks for model federation, clash detection and design reviews, and in common data environments such as Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360.
Candidate should be familiar with BIM standards and processes such as ISO 19650, BIM Execution Plans (BEP), Level of Development (LOD) requirements and model-based deliverables. Should also have exposure to US and other foreign codes/standards and local practices.
Major Responsibilities
Leads BIM coordination for electrical work across the project, setting up and following the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), modelling standards, LOD requirements and project templates.
Coordinates electrical models for semiconductor fabs, including cleanroom, sub-fab and interstitial spaces. This includes tool hook-up and process tool power distribution, and interfaces with process utilities such as UPW, process cooling water, exhaust, bulk gases and chemical systems.
Federates multi-discipline and vendor models in Navisworks, runs clash detection, and chairs clash-resolution meetings with civil/structural, architectural, mechanical, piping, process and fire protection teams. Tracks issues until they are closed.
Builds and maintains Revit families, shared parameters, view templates and content libraries for electrical equipment and components. Makes sure data stays consistent across the project.
Supports in production of construction drawings, sections, details and model-based quantity take-offs from the Revit model to support material requisitions and procurement.
Runs model quality checks and audits for compliance with project standards, naming conventions, data requirements and the client's BIM requirements.
Manages model sharing, version control and the information workflow on the common data environment (Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360), in line with ISO 19650.
Uses Dynamo or other automation tools to speed up repetitive modelling, data extraction and reporting tasks.
Prepares as-built models and asset data for handover to the client's operations team.
Guides and mentors designers on BIM workflows and best practices. Encourages a work environment built on openness, trust, teamwork, innovation and continuous improvement.
Education and Experience Requirements
Min. 15 Years of experience with a recognized Degree or Diploma.
8+ Years of BIM Coordination Work.
Required Knowledge and Skills
Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Revit (MEP/Electrical) for 3D modelling, including family creation, shared parameters, view templates, worksharing and production of drawings from the model.
Proficiency in Navisworks Manage for model federation, clash detection, clash reporting and model reviews, and working knowledge of common data environments such as Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360.
Sound understanding of BIM standards and processes such as ISO 19650, BIM Execution Plans (BEP), Level of Development (LOD) requirements, and model naming and data conventions.
Familiarity with US and international codes and standards relevant to the discipline, such as NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 75, IEEE and TIA-942 / Uptime Institute tier requirements for data centres, and SEMI standards for semiconductor facilities.
Knowledge of electrical physical design for semiconductor fabs, including cleanroom, sub-fab and interstitial spaces, process tool power hook-ups, and interfaces with process utilities.
Knowledge and understanding of raceway (cable tray, conduit and busway), lighting, grounding/bonding and lightning protection design and modelling, and cable sizing.
Understanding of multi-discipline interfaces (civil/structural, architectural, mechanical/HVAC, piping, process and fire protection), and skill in reading and interpreting drawings and models prepared by other project groups.
Extraction of model-based quantity take-offs, schedules and reports to support material requisitions and procurement.
Skill in leading and mentoring less experienced designers and modellers, and in communicating clearly with engineering, construction, vendor and client teams.
Working knowledge of AutoCAD and of Dynamo or other automation tools. Exposure to digital twin and asset data (COBie) requirements will be an added advantage.
