Senior BIM Modeler Electrical

Senior BIM Modeler Electrical

 

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

We are more than 34,000 people, in over 30 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Role Description:
Senior Electrical BIM Modeller will support the delivery of coordinated, accurate and information-rich Electrical BIM models and drawings for complex infrastructure and building projects, including projects with significant mechanical and multidisciplinary interfaces. The role will use Revit MEP and AutoCAD as primary authoring tools and Autodesk Forma / Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) for cloud-based collaboration, information exchange and issue management.

Working with Electrical Engineers, BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers and multidisciplinary design teams, the role will translate engineering information into compliant models and documentation, coordinate electrical systems with mechanical, architectural, structural and civil disciplines, and maintain model quality in accordance with the project BIM Execution Plan, client requirements, Arcadis standards and applicable information-management procedures. The role is expected to work 
with limited supervision, support junior modelers and take ownership of assigned modelling and 
documentation packages.

Role Accountabilities:

• Develop and maintain electrical BIM models for power distribution, lighting, small power, containment, earthing and lightning protection, emergency systems, communications, security, fire alarm and other electrical services applicable to the project scope.
• Produce coordinated plans, sections, elevations, schematics, schedules, details and drawing sheets from approved BIM models.
  Model electrical systems to the agreed Level of Information Need, project stage and design responsibility, avoiding unnecessary over-modelling.
• Apply approved Revit templates, families, electrical system definitions, shared parameters, view templates, filters, worksets and naming conventions.
• Maintain technically valid models, including appropriate equipment locations, cable containment routes, access zones, clearances, interfaces and maintainability requirements.
• Single-Line Diagrams (SLD) & Equipment Integration: Translate complex electrical single-line diagrams into spatially coordinated 3D components and integrate them with continuous uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and battery-bank frameworks. 
• Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) Systems: Incorporate coordinated pathways and spatial provisions for instrumentation, building automation and control systems, fire alarm networks, security surveillance and associated ELV services.
• Substations & High-Voltage Infrastructure: Develop coordinated 3D layouts of step-down transformers, switchgear, main distribution panels and associated high-voltage infrastructure, incorporating access, clearance, maintenance and multidisciplinary interface requirements.
• Containment & Cable Tray Routing: Spatially model multi-tier cable trays, raceways and conduits, providing accurate pathway mapping for high-density facilities where extensive cable networks require precise routing, segregation, access and coordination.
• Coordinate electrical models with mechanical, public health, fire protection, architecture, structure, civil, utilities and other disciplines using linked and federated models.
• Identify clashes, design inconsistencies and missing information; communicate issues clearly and support timely resolution through agreed project workflows.
• Use Autodesk Forma / ACC for document management, design collaboration, model coordination, publishing, issue tracking, reviews and controlled information exchange.
• Prepare and update AutoCAD drawings where required, using correct layers, references, coordinates, title blocks and project drafting standards.
• Carry out model and drawing self-checks before review, respond to checker comments, and support project quality-assurance and model-health processes.
• Follow the BIM Execution Plan, task information delivery plan, Common Data Environment procedures, ISO 19650 principles and Arcadi's quality requirements.
• Support model setup, digital-delivery planning, drawing production, data drops and submissions in accordance with agreed programme and budget.
• Interpret engineering mark-ups, layouts, single-line diagrams, schematics, calculations, specifications and red-line comments and convert them into coordinated BIM outputs.
• Support BIM Coordinators and engineers during multidisciplinary reviews, clash-resolution sessions and model-coordination meetings.
• Provide task guidance, technical support and practical coaching to BIM Modelers and Trainee BIM Modelers.
  Contribute to standardization, content-library development, lessons learned, communities of practice and continuous improvement of electrical BIM workflows.
• Take responsibility for personal health and safety and comply with applicable regulations, project requirements and Arcadis procedures.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Substantial relevant experience delivering electrical BIM models and drawings within an engineering consultancy, contractor or multidisciplinary design environment; typically, 4–7 years for a senior modeller role.
• Extensive experience working on infrastructure and building projects with complex mechanical, electrical and multidisciplinary interfaces, such as rail stations and depots, tunnels, aviation facilities, industrial plants, utilities, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centres or similar assets.
• Strong practical experience using Autodesk Revit MEP for electrical-services modelling, documentation, coordination and data-rich deliverables.
• Good working knowledge of AutoCAD for electrical design documentation and coordination.
• Practical experience using Autodesk Forma / ACC, including Docs, Design Collaboration, Model Coordination and issue-management workflows.
• Sound understanding of electrical systems, spatial coordination, equipment access, maintenance requirements, service clearances and interfaces with mechanical systems.
• Ability to interpret electrical engineering inputs and develop accurate layouts, schematics, schedules, details and coordinated model information.
• Working knowledge of BIM Execution Plans, Common Data Environments, model federation, clash detection, Level of Information
• Need and ISO 19650 principles.
• Experience applying model-checking, drawing-checking and quality-control procedures to 
  project deliverables.
• Strong attention to detail, quality orientation and ability to manage assigned priorities and deadlines with limited supervision.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines, offices and cultures.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications, particularly Teams, Outlook, Excel and SharePoint.
