Based in our Bristol Office.

You must have the right to work in the UK.

We are currently looking to recruit a BIM Developer to join our UK team and help us evolve our internal suite of custom‑developed BIM tools. These tools are used day‑to‑day by a large civil engineering team working in 3D modelling, checking and data delivery.

As part of a growing development function, you will work collaboratively with other BIM Developers and the wider BIM team, playing a key role in maintaining and evolving our toolset. The role will involve observing user interactions, defining priorities, and delivering robust, scalable solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and consistency across projects.

Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Take ownership of an existing internal suite of BIM‑related tools and plug‑ins.
• Analyse, maintain, and expand these tools in response to new project requirements and team feedback.
• Ensure that tool updates are robust, well‑documented, and backward‑compatible, with existing workflows.

• Work directly with other BIM Developers and the BIM Manager to clarify requirements, assess development feasibility, and prioritise enhancements.
• Respond to tool users’ feedback and proactively propose improvements to streamline their workflows.
• Participate in internal meetings and tool reviews to ensure that development aligns with team needs and project priorities.

• Utilise Git Lab for code version control and validation document management.
• Maintain clear documentation of tool revisions, user guides, and testing notes in English.
• Ensure tools are deployed in a controlled, traceable, and validated manner.

• Adapt tools to interface with commercial BIM software platforms (e.g. Tekla Structures, Revit, Navisworks) using available APIs.
• Support integration of tools with 3D modelling environments and streamline BIM checks, data validation, and digital QA/QC.

We are looking for candidates with the following background:

• 2–5 years of hands‑on experience as a software developer, preferably in an engineering or construction context.
• Thorough knowledge and experience with C#.
• Experience working with IDEs suited for C# development.
• Proven ability to take on, understand and maintain legacy codebases.
• Experience working in a version‑controlled environment (Git Lab, Git Hub, etc.).
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent development tasks effectively.
• Clear English writing skills for documentation, version notes, and validation records.
• Willingness to learn from users and apply practical problem‑solving approaches.

• Experience working with Visual Studio.
• Experience working with commercial BIM platforms and their APIs (e.g. Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit, Navisworks).
• Experience with Windows Forms and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation).
• Knowledge of BIM environments and workflows (e.g. model checking, data management, clash detection).
• Knowledge of Tekla’s API.
• Enthusiastic and proactive…
