Do you want to work for one of the most sustainable engineering consultancies in the UK? Can you deliver high-quality 3D models and 2D drawings? Are you experience in either Transmission & Distribution, Data Centres, and Water infrastructure? Then, kick start your career by making solutions that enable a better tomorrow.
To further strengthen our Digital Delivery team, we are looking for Senior BIM / CAD Technicians to join us. Working on the delivery of major infrastructure programmes across the UK & Ireland you’ll play a key part in delivering high-quality digital outputs across a range of sectors, with a particular focus on Transmission & Distribution, Data Centres, and Water infrastructure.
This is not just about producing models and drawings. It’s about supporting how projects are set up, coordinated, and delivered through effective Digital Delivery and Information Management.
The role
You’ll be responsible for the production and coordination of high-quality 3D models and 2D drawings, supporting multidisciplinary teams across the full project lifecycle.
Alongside delivery, you’ll take an active role in improving how we work, supporting quality, consistency, and the development of others across the discipline.
Your key responsibilities will be:
1. Produce and deliver high-quality 3D models and 2D drawings in accordance with organisational and project standards
2. Support the coordination and integration of multidisciplinary designs within a digital delivery environment
3. Contribute to model quality assurance and quality control, maintaining a high standard across all deliverables
4. Work closely with engineers, discipline leads and project managers to ensure outputs are accurate, consistent and delivered on time
5. Plan and prioritise your own workload, and where required support junior team members, reporting progress clearly
6. Ensure deliverables are aligned to the project programme and budget expectations
7. Support effective project set-up, including workflows, standards, and information structures
8. Maintain organised project data within agreed Common Data Environment (CDE) workflows
9. Identify opportunities to improve processes, tools and ways of working
10. Supervise and mentor junior team members where required, supporting their ongoing development
11. Contribute to the development of discipline standards, tools and best practice
12. Maintain a positive, proactive approach to checking, with a clear focus on quality and delivery
Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
On top of that, you’ll have:
13. Strong experience delivering 3D modelling and 2D drawing outputs on UK infrastructure projects
14. Proven experience within one or more of the following sectors:
15. Transmission & Distribution / Energy
16. Data Centres
17. Water / Wastewater infrastructure
18. An HNC or higher qualification in Civil Engineering (or related discipline), ideally with professional registration at Eng Tech level (MICE or TMIET), or working towards this
19. Consideration will also be given to strong candidates with an ONC or equivalent experience, supported by demonstrable technical capability
20. A solid understanding of digital delivery workflows, coordination and model integration
21. Experience working within a Common Data Environment (e.g. ProjectWise, ACC or similar)
22. Experience delivering projects aligned to ISO principles
23. Strong technical experience in at least one 3D modelling platform, with the ability to work across 2D and 3D environments
24. Familiarity with a range of industry tools such as Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Tekla, OpenBuildings, MicroStation, Navisworks or similar
25. Ability to plan and manage your own work, and support others where required
26. Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams
27. A proactive approach, with a focus on quality, consistency and continuous improvement
