Job Description

Job Location: Chennai (Preferred) | Mumbai | Gurugram | Noida

The Piping Engineer – BIM, Data Center will be responsible for developing, coordinating, and managing BIM models for complex piping systems on mission-critical Data Center projects. The role requires extensive expertise in Revit MEP, piping layouts, multidisciplinary BIM coordination, clash detection, construction documentation, and digital project delivery from Concept Design through IFC and Construction Support.

The engineer will work closely with Mechanical, Fire Protection, Plumbing, Electrical, Structural, Architectural, Process and BIM teams to ensure coordinated, constructible, and clash-free designs for hyperscale Data Centers.

This role is intended for a piping-focused BIM specialist, not a mechanical designer. The ideal candidate should be capable of modelling and coordinating thousands of meters of complex piping systems in large hyperscale data center campuses while ensuring clash-free, construction-ready BIM deliverables.

Key Responsibilities:

• BIM Modelling & Digital Delivery - Develop and manage BIM models for piping systems using Autodesk Revit, prepare LOD 200–400 models, develop Revit families, maintain BIM standards, extract construction drawings and schedules, and ensure accurate digital delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
• Piping System Modelling - Model and coordinate Chilled Water Systems, Condenser Water Systems, Cooling Water Systems, District Cooling Networks, HVAC piping, Fire Protection piping, Wet Risers, Sprinkler Systems, Pre-action Systems, Water Mist Systems, Clean Agent piping, Domestic Water Systems, Plumbing Systems, Drainage, Sewage, Storm Water, Fuel Oil Systems, Diesel Transfer Systems, Compressed Air Systems, Chemical piping and utility piping.
• Engineering Coordination - Coordinate piping systems with Architecture, Structural, HVAC, Electrical, Fire Protection, Plumbing, ELV, ICT, Security and Process disciplines, perform clash detection and resolution, participate in BIM coordination meetings, optimize routing, plant room layouts, pipe supports, maintenance clearances and construction sequencing.
• Construction Documentation - Prepare and review General Arrangement Drawings, Piping Layouts, Isometric Drawings, Sections, Details, Pipe Support Drawings, Equipment Layouts, Sleeves and Openings, BOQs, Material Schedules, IFC Drawings, Shop Drawings and As-Built Models.
• Construction Support - Review shop drawings, respond to RFIs, update BIM models during construction, coordinate with site teams, resolve installation issues, support prefabrication activities, verify as-built conditions and assist commissioning teams.
• Quality Assurance - Ensure BIM accuracy, model integrity, LOD compliance, drawing quality, project standards, client BIM requirements, revision control, naming conventions and QA/QC compliance through regular model audits.

Qualifications

• Diploma / BE / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering.
• 6 to 10 years of experience in BIM piping design.
• Minimum 2 years of experience on Data Center or Mission Critical projects preferred.
• Technical Expertise - Strong experience in BIM modelling of piping systems for Data Centers, Industrial Plants, District Cooling Plants, Pharmaceutical Facilities, Semiconductor Facilities or Oil & Gas projects.
• Extensive knowledge of piping layouts, pipe routing, supports, equipment connections, plant room coordination, underground utilities, pipe sizing principles, constructability and multidisciplinary coordination.
• Software & Digital Capability - Autodesk Revit MEP (Expert), AutoCAD, Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), BIM Collaborate Pro, Dynamo (Preferred), BIM 360, Microsoft Office.
• Communication & Coordination - Excellent written and verbal communication, ability to coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, participate in BIM coordination meetings, manage project priorities and work under demanding project schedules.

Good to Have (Strong Differentiators):

• Experience with hyperscale Data Centers (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Equinix, Digital Realty, AirTrunk, Nxtra, PDG).
• Knowledge of ASME B31 series, NFPA, NBC 2026, IS Codes, BIM ISO 19650 and Autodesk Certified Professional – Revit MEP.
• Experience in LOD 400 modelling, BIM execution planning, prefabrication modelling, laser scan integration and construction sequencing.
