Job Description
We are currently looking to recruit a BIM Developer to join our UK team and help us evolve our internal suite of custom‑developed BIM tools. These tools are used day‑to‑day by a large civil engineering team working in 3D modelling, checking and data delivery.
As part of a growing development function, you will work collaboratively with other BIM Developers and the wider BIM team, playing a key role in maintaining and evolving our toolset. The role will involve observing user interactions, defining priorities, and delivering robust, scalable solutions that improve efficiency, quality and consistency across projects.
Tool Development and Enhancement
* Take ownership of an existing internal suite of BIM‑related tools and plug‑ins.
* Analyse, maintain and expand these tools in response to new project requirements and team feedback.
* Ensure that tool updates are robust, well‑documented and backwards compatible, with existing workflows.
Collaboration and Communication
* Work directly with other BIM Developers and the BIM Manager to clarify requirements, assess development feasibility and prioritise enhancements.
* Respond to tool users’ feedback and proactively propose improvements to streamline their workflows.
* Participate in internal meetings and tool reviews to ensure that development aligns with team needs and project priorities.
Code Quality and Version Control
* Utilise GitLab for code version control and validation document management.
* Maintain clear documentation of tool revisions, user guides and testing notes in English.
* Ensure tools are deployed in a controlled, traceable and validated manner.
API Integration and BIM Environment Awareness
* Adapt tools to interface with commercial BIM software platforms (e.g. Tekla Structures, Revit, Navisworks) using available APIs.
* Support integration of tools with 3D modelling environments and streamline BIM checks, data validation and digital QA/QC.
Qualifications
Essential
* 2–5 years of hands‑on experience as a software developer, preferably in an engineering or construction context.
* Thorough knowledge and experience with C#.
* Experience working with IDEs suited for C# development.
* Proven ability to take on, understand and maintain legacy codebases.
* Experience working in a version‑controlled environment (GitLab, GitHub, etc.).
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent development tasks effectively.
* Clear English writing skills for documentation, version notes and validation records.
* Willingness to learn from users and apply practical problem‑solving approaches.
Desirable
* Experience working with Visual Studio.
* Experience working with commercial BIM platforms and their APIs (e.g. Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit, Navisworks).
* Experience with Windows Forms and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation).
* Knowledge of BIM environments and workflows (e.g. model checking, data management, clash detection).
* Knowledge of Tekla’s API.
* Enthusiastic and proactive mindset, with a desire to improve BIM workflows and contribute to a high‑performing team.
* Additional experience in other languages such as SQL, VBA or Python is advantageous.
* Knowledge of DevOps practices.
