Your role encompasses design, modelling, and documentation within multidisciplinary projects, offering the opportunity to grow and contribute to some of the most dynamic civil infrastructure projects in the region.

• Develop and rationalize civil infrastructure design models and geometry from information received in various formats (hand sketches, engineering drawings, CAD drawings, 3D models, PDFs, etc.), ensuring alignment with civil engineering design intent and technical requirements.
• Develop and manage detailed 3D parametric models of civil infrastructure systems (e.g., roads, bridges, tunnels, utilities) using software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Dynamo, Navisworks, or similar, applying advanced knowledge of civil design and modelling principles.
• Coordinate infrastructure models with architectural, structural, and MEP models, resolving clashes and ensuring integration through collaboration with multidisciplinary project teams.
• Collaborate with the team lead and BIM lead to produce civil infrastructure design documentation in accordance with BIM execution plans, project specifications, and established drawing standards.
• Oversee and perform quality checks on civil design models and technical documentation, validating accuracy, technical quality, and compliance with relevant codes and standards.
• Ensure the implementation and maintenance of company-wide BIM standards, as well as project‑specific templates and object libraries specific to civil models.
• Mentor and share knowledge with the design and drafting team in civil infrastructure modeling and BIM methodologies.
• Participate in design coordination meetings, providing technical insights and solutions related to civil infrastructure systems.
• Stay updated with advancements in digital design, parametric modeling, and civil engineering technologies, proposing innovative practices to enhance project delivery and modeling efficiency.

• Proven experience in modelling and coordinating large‑scale infrastructure projects such as utilities, highways, railways, and tunnels.
• Hands‑on experience with BIM implementation across all project phases (concept, schematic, preliminary, detailed design, tender, and construction).
• Experience working in multidisciplinary teams, coordinating with architects, structural engineers, MEP, and contractors.
• Familiarity with BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), Level of Development (LOD) standards, and ISO 19650 or similar BIM standards.
• Proficiency in software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Dynamo and Micro Station.
• Expertise in modelling grading, corridors, utility pipe networks, and pressure networks.
• Strong knowledge of documentation practices and standards, such as BIM templates, part list creation, property data set management, and drawing production workflows.
• Ability to mentor junior modelers and support team development.
• Proactive in problem‑solving and optimizing modelling workflows.
