Hoare Lea is a human-centric and planet-conscious engineering consultancy. We offer intelligent and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges for the built environment throughout the UK and further afield.

We provide a wide range of engineering and consultancy services, including acoustics, air quality, building services (MEP), fire, lighting, security and sustainability to name but a few. Together, our highly skilled teams use technical expertise and problem-solving skills to bring buildings to life. We ensure that whatever the building, its design is outstanding, and its operations meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Whatever your ambitions or circumstances, our aim is to enable everyone to develop their knowledge, give their best, and enjoy what they do.

We have an exciting opportunity for a BIM Technician to join our Cardiff team. This role would suit someone with some existing experience using Autodesk Revit who is looking to develop their career within BIM and building services engineering. You may already be working in a junior BIM, CAD or digital engineering role, have completed an apprenticeship or relevant qualification, or be looking to transition into building services from another area of the construction industry.

Being part of one of the UK’s largest building engineering consultancies, we benefit from collaborating with some of the best engineers in the business, with access to state-of-the-art technical support, and have the opportunity to work on some of the largest and most high-profile projects as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

SIDRA Medical and Research Centre in Doha, UAE, the Living Systems Institute at the University of Exeter, the vast £1 billion regeneration at Kings Cross in London, are examples of some of the amazing projects where we have led the design with other Hoare Lea disciplines.

At Hoare Lea, BIM isn’t just about modelling; it’s a driver of innovation, collaboration, and smarter decision-making. Our BIM community sits at the heart of our digital strategy, shaping how we use information to design buildings that perform beautifully and sustainably.

You’ll be part of a supportive, dynamic environment where creativity and precision come together, and where your ideas can make a real difference.

You’ll work on a diverse range of projects across sectors such as Healthcare, Education, Residential, and Commercial, supported by both your local engineering team and our national BIM & Digital Engineering community.

As a BIM Technician, your day-to-day tasks will vary, as we’ll expose you to all aspects of our work so you can discover what suits you. You could be;

• Support the production and coordination of mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) 3D models and 2D engineering drawings using Autodesk Revit.
• Assist with model setup and management, including views, sheets, schedules, legends, tagging, annotations and model information.
• Support multidisciplinary model coordination, including reviewing linked architectural, structural and MEP models and assisting with clash detection and coordination reviews using Revit and Navisworks.
• Work within Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and project Common Data Environment (CDE) workflows, while learning to read and apply BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), project information requirements and relevant standards.
• Work closely with engineers and other BIM team members to translate engineering designs and mark‑ups into coordinated BIM models and drawings, and…
