Solidworks Engineer

Final date to receive applications: 13 February 2026

Department: Design

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Alternative Heat Head Office

Reporting To: Head of Engineering DFMA

Team Overview: The Design department is responsible for developing innovative, practical, and fully coordinated mechanical and electrical building services solutions tailored to each project. Working closely with clients, project teams, and the BIM department, the design team transforms concepts into detailed, build-ready technical designs that meet regulatory standards, client specifications, and sustainability goals. Their work underpins the technical accuracy and efficiency of our installations, ensuring seamless integration from planning through to construction.

Role Overview: The Solid Works Engineer is responsible for developing, standardizing, and delivering high-quality 3D parametric and fabrication models for MEP prefabrication using Solid Works. A core function of this role is ensuring seamless digital workflow integration and interoperability between Solid Works models and BIM platforms (Revit/Navisworks). The role also involves technical support, mentoring BIM teams on Solid Works prefabrication workflows, and continuous optimization of design and manufacturing processes.

This position requires strong expertise in Solid Works design, a solid understanding of BIM/MEP construction practices, and a focus on fabrication efficiency.

Key Focus Areas

• Design & Modeling:
  Expert-level 3D parametric and assembly modeling in Solid Works for MEP systems and prefab assemblies.
• Interoperability:
  Managing integration workflows and data exchange between Solid Works and BIM environments (Revit/IFC).
• Standards & Development:
  Creating and maintaining Solid Works templates, libraries, and custom features aligned with fabrication requirements.
• Technical Support:
  Supporting and upskilling BIM teams in transitioning to Solid Works-based prefabrication.
