• SD50 / SD100
• DD100
• Issued for Tender (IFT)
• Construction Administration
• Ongoing Design Guardianship

• Develop, manage, and coordinate Autodesk Revit models for MEP systems, equipment rooms, and specialized technical spaces.
• Apply constructible, serviceable, and maintenance-ready design logic to layouts, clearances, access zones, and routing.
• Translate engineering intent, hydraulic logic, and equipment selections into accurate spatial and BIM deliverables.
• Act as a technical bridge between MEP engineering, BIM execution, fabrication logic, and construction/site coordination.

• Lead model coordination and multidisciplinary integration using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Navisworks.
• Perform and manage clash detection, issue tracking, and coordination workflows.

Develop and maintain Dynamo for Revit workflows for:

• Early-stage layout studies
• Spatial feasibility analysis
• Repetitive task optimization
• Translate configurable system parameters and BOM logic into intelligent BIM outputs.
• Extend automation into plumbing, piping, and hydraulic systems associated with technical infrastructure systems.
• Apply automation strategically to improve early-stage clarity and technical decision-making.

• Strong practical experience in MEP design, with a focus on equipment rooms, plant spaces, and technical service environments.
• Proven experience coordinating MEP systems within 3D BIM environments.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including model setup, work-sharing, and multi-disciplinary coordination.
• Strong expertise with Autodesk Navisworks, including clash detection and model review workflows.
• Solid understanding of BIM terminology, processes, and best practices.
• Working knowledge of ISO 19650 or equivalent BIM information management standards.
• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD for coordination and legacy documentation.
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel for schedules, BOMs, and structured data management.
• Hands-on experience with Dynamo for Revit.
• Understanding of landscape architecture (LARCH) and architectural design processes.
• Knowledge of plumbing, piping, or hydraulic systems is a strong asset.
