Shape the Future of Digital MEP Delivery
This is a high-impact opportunity for an MEP Digital Engineering specialist to take a leading role in shaping BIM delivery, digital standards, and engineering coordination across a portfolio of complex UK building services projects. You will sit within a dedicated Digital Engineering function, working at the centre of how MEP design information is developed, coordinated, and delivered. This is a hands‑on technical role, but also one that requires leadership, influence, and a genuine passion for improving how teams use BIM to deliver better design outcomes. You will not just produce or coordinate models; you will actively shape how MEP digital engineering is done across award‑winning national consultancy reporting to the MEP Digital Engineering Lead.
Why This Role Stands Out
Support MEP digital engineering across a national portfolio of projects
Influence BIM strategy, standards, and digital delivery frameworks in a national multi‑disciplinary consultancy
High exposure to senior technical leadership and project teams
Opportunity to shape innovation in Revit, BIM workflows, and automation
Strong focus on training, mentoring, and capability development
Clear progression pathway to Associate level
Work within a growing, forward‑thinking multi‑disciplinary consultancy with over 220 MEP specialists, part of a 1500 strong firm
The Role
You will act as a key technical leader within the MEP Digital Engineering function, responsible for driving BIM integration, digital workflows, and engineering data quality across projects. You will support the development of digital standards, coordinate national MEP BIM communities, and ensure consistent, high‑quality delivery across multiple offices and project teams. A core part of the role is improving how digital engineering is used in practice, from Revit MEP content development and tool integration through to project delivery workflows, automation, and data‑driven design processes.
Key Responsibilities
Support delivery of MEP Digital Engineering strategy and standards
Develop and maintain Revit MEP content, families, and templates
Improve BIM coordination workflows across multidisciplinary teams
Ensure compliance with BIM standards (including ISO 19650)
Integrate digital tools including Revit, ACC, IES, and related platforms
Deliver training and mentoring to engineers and technicians
Support project teams with BIM coordination and technical queries
Contribute to digital improvement initiatives and innovation
Support bid and project capability input where BIM expertise is required
Help embed consistent digital engineering practices across offices
What We're Looking For
Essential
Strong Revit MEP experience (advanced user capability)
Solid understanding of BIM standards and workflows (ISO 19650 preferred)
Background in Building Services Engineering (MEP consultancy environment)
Experience in design coordination or BIM delivery roles
Strong communication skills with ability to share knowledge effectively
Passion for mentoring, training, and improving team capability
Comfortable working across multidisciplinary engineering teams
Proficiency in Autodesk Forma (Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC))
Open To
MEP Engineers with strong BIM capability
BIM Technicians / Coordinators / Managers / Engineers looking to step up into a more influential role
Digital Engineering professionals from consultancy environments
The Opportunity
This is a chance to step into a role where your Revit expertise and BIM knowledge genuinely shape how engineering teams work. You'll move beyond project delivery into a more influential position – improving standards, mentoring teams, and helping define how digital MEP engineering is delivered across a growing, innovative consultancy with strong long‑term progression into Associate level.
