Project Type: Power Generation

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as the digital design authority for CAD, 3D, and BIM deliverables across power and data centre projects.
• Develop, coordinate, review, and approve 2D drawings, 3D models, and BIM outputs in line with BIM Execution Plans and project requirements.
• Lead multidisciplinary coordination of mechanical, electrical, structural, and architectural models to ensure constructible, clash-free designs.
• Define, manage, and enforce BIM governance, including ISO 19650 compliance, Model naming conventions, Data structures and information management processes
• Manage BIM maturity across all project stages, ensuring appropriate Levels of Detail (LOD) and Levels of Information (LOI) are achieved.
• Produce and manage layouts and models for Data centre environments, Generator containers, Balance-of-plant systems
• Coordinate model federation, clash detection, and issue resolution using BIM coordination tools (e.g. Navisworks).
• Ensure digital models accurately reflect approved engineering designs, interfaces, access requirements, and maintenance strategies.
• Support concept development, optioneering, and spatial planning using 3D and BIM tools.
• Prepare and manage digital handover deliverables, including as-built models, drawings, and asset data to support O&M manuals and client requirements.
• Provide technical oversight and review of CAD and BIM outputs produced by external designers and subcontractors.
