MEP BIM Lead

Your key duties

As MEP BIM Lead, you will be responsible for leading and embedding effective BIM processes across MEP design delivery within the Riyadh Buildings team. You will work in close partnership with project BIM leads, MEP job leaders, engineers, BIM technicians and external project stakeholders to establish robust project information-management procedures from mobilisation through design, coordination, construction support and final deliverables.

• BIM leadership and delivery
  • Lead the planning, setup, implementation and ongoing management of MEP BIM delivery on complex building projects.
  • Establish and maintain MEP BIM workflows in accordance with the project BIM Execution Plan, client requirements, relevant Buro Happold standards and agreed information-management protocols.
  • Support the review of tender and project BIM requirements, including Exchange Information Requirements, Level of Information Need, model-development requirements, delivery milestones and digital scope.
  • Contribute discipline-specific information to the BIM Execution Plan, Task Information Delivery Plan and coordinated programme of model and drawing deliverables.
  • Work with the Regional BIM Lead and Project BIM Lead to define clear digital-delivery responsibilities, workflows, approval routes and quality-control procedures.
  • Lead the development and implementation of MEP BIM enhancements, templates, standards, content libraries and automated workflows.
  • Support project teams in adopting consistent and efficient modelling, documentation and coordination practices.
• Model setup and project mobilisation
  • Set up and maintain discipline Revit models in accordance with Buro Happold project templates, BIM standards and project-specific requirements.
  • Configure model worksets, links, shared coordinates, levels, grids, views, view templates, scope boxes, dependent views, match lines, sheets and publishing sets.
  • Coordinate with the project BIM lead and other disciplines to confirm project north, coordinate systems, model origins, linked-model strategy and information-sharing requirements.
  • Ensure project models are structured to support clear MEP design development, efficient coordination and high-quality drawing production.
  • Establish automated or semi-automated workflows for sheet creation, model setup, views and repeatable documentation tasks where appropriate.
  • Support the setup and effective use of Autodesk Construction Cloud for model sharing, issue management, coordination and controlled information exchange.
• MEP coordination and technical assurance
  • Work with MEP job leaders and engineers to establish practical service-zone, routing and coordination strategies from the earliest design stages.
  • Lead and monitor the implementation of MEP coordination principles, including spatial allowances, access requirements, maintenance zones, builders-work interfaces and multidisciplinary design constraints.
  • Promote a clash-avoidance, right-first-time approach rather than relying solely on late-stage clash detection.
  • Coordinate MEP models with architecture, interiors, structures, landscape, civil, façade, fire and specialist consultant models.
  • Set up and manage Navisworks model reviews, clash-detection tests and issue-resolution workflows at agreed project intervals.
  • Support coordination reviews through Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination and other agreed project platforms.
  • Coordinate builders-work openings, penetrations, sleeves and other interfaces with structural and architectural teams.
  • Identify recurring coordination risks, propose practical solutions and elevate critical issues promptly to the appropriate project leads.
• Quality and information management
  • Carry out routine model-health and information-quality reviews, including compliance with model standards, naming conventions, worksets, view templates, parameters, tagging, model content and information requirements.
  • Ensure MEP models meet the agreed Level of Information Need and are suitable for each relevant project stage and deliverable.
  • Review drawing sets, title blocks, sheet registers, scale, annotation, graphic standards and PDF outputs to maintain a high-quality presentation standard.
  • Ensure alignment between model outputs, Task Information Delivery Plan milestones and agreed project issue schedules.
  • Support the preparation and review of MEP Revit models, drawings, schedules and coordinated deliverables at key project gateways.
  • Maintain clear records of BIM issues, audits, actions, risks and lessons…
