What you do as a Controls BIM Engineer (MCF/ Data Centres)
As a Controls BIM Engineer (or Technologist / Technician dependent on qualification), you must prove yourself to some of the most demanding customers in the world and work pro-actively with our colleagues across the globe. Beyond the standard features of a building, our MCF projects require specific and advanced knowledge and skills.
Responsibilities
As a Controls BIM Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing and engineering designs for our MCF projects, working closely with project teams and under the guidance of the Lead Engineer. Your responsibilities will include creating and managing BIM families, modeling building controls, electronics or security service installations in 3D Revit/ BIM, and ensuring designs are accurate, functional, and buildable without revisions.
Other responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Develop and coordinate controls, electronics or security service installation diagrams, ensuring initial space reservations with other disciplines.
- Integrate functionality, mountability, accessibility, and maintainability into models to ensure buildable designs without revisions.
- Collaborate within a multidisciplinary, cross-border team to deliver projects.
- Contribute to optimizing internal processes and share knowledge within the team.
- Maintain regular communication with Project Engineers and ensure all work meets Haskoning and client standards.
But you are not only involved in project-related tasks. You will also contribute to optimizing our business processes and ensuring the preservation and sharing of knowledge within your own field of expertise. And you will not only do this within your own team but also within our MEP Community. We also organize an annual MEP knowledge day. On this day, we gather with all MEP colleagues in the Netherlands.
It's the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better, exchange experiences, and share knowledge. Curious about what such a day looks like? Then watch the video of our last edition here.
