Job Description:

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced CAD / BIM Technician to join a growing team delivering complex mechanical and low-carbon energy projects across the UK.

Working on a range of innovative schemes including energy centres, district heating networks, heat pump installations, packaged plantrooms and prefabricated pipework systems, you will play a key role in developing coordinated BIM models, construction drawings and fabrication information from concept through to installation.

This role would suit someone with a strong background in mechanical building services, BIM modelling or pipework fabrication design who is looking to work on technically challenging and sustainable infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities



BIM & CAD Modelling

• Produce detailed 2D and 3D models using Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
• Develop coordinated mechanical plantroom, energy centre and pipework models.
• Create fabrication-ready layouts for prefabricated pipework, skids and modular plant systems.
• Produce General Arrangement (GA), installation, section and elevation drawings.
• Generate spool drawings, isometric drawings and fabrication information.
• Maintain drawing and model quality in accordance with project BIM requirements.

Design Coordination

• Coordinate designs with mechanical, electrical, structural and civil disciplines.
• Participate in BIM reviews and clash detection workshops.
• Ensure designs are practical, buildable and suitable for manufacture and installation.
• Incorporate survey and point cloud information where required.
• Support project teams during technical design reviews.

Project Delivery

• Produce drawing packages through design, construction and as-built stages.
• Manage revisions and updates following design changes and site feedback.
• Assist with BIM documentation and project deliverables.
• Support the preparation of O&M and as-installed documentation.

Offsite Manufacturing Support

• Develop detailed fabrication models for carbon steel and stainless-steel pipework systems.
• Produce fully dimensioned spool and skid drawings.
• Liaise with workshop teams to resolve fabrication queries.
• Ensure designs reflect manufacturing, transportation and installation requirements.

Requirements



Essential

• HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, BIM, CAD or a related discipline.
• Minimum 2 years' experience within a CAD or BIM role.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
• Experience producing detailed mechanical layouts and construction drawings.
• Strong understanding of pipework systems and mechanical plant installations.
• Knowledge of BIM processes and coordinated design environments.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and P&IDs.

Desirable

• Experience on energy centres, district heating schemes or heat pump projects.
• Previous fabrication drawing or spool drawing experience.
• Understanding of ISO 19650 BIM standards.
• Experience using Navisworks, Plant 3D or point cloud modelling software.
• Exposure to modular plantrooms, skids and offsite manufacturing processes.

What's on Offer?

• Opportunity to work on innovative low-carbon energy and infrastructure projects.
• Involvement in projects from design through to fabrication and installation.
• Career development within a growing engineering and project delivery environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
