  • Develop, review and manage discipline models throughout the various stages of design.
  • Coordinate Mechanical models with Architecture, Structure, Electrical and other disciplines to identify and resolve design interfaces.
  • Perform clash detection and coordination reviews, track issues and support their timely resolution.
  • Ensure models comply with project BIM Execution Plans (BEP), modelling standards, LOD requirements and naming conventions.
  • Review models for accuracy, constructability, spatial coordination and adherence to engineering design intent.
  • Support Mechanical engineers and designers in developing coordinated BIM deliverables.
  • Manage model federation, coordination workflows and BIM issue tracking.
  • Produce and review drawings, schedules and other documentation extracted from BIM models.
  • Conduct regular model audits and quality checks to maintain model integrity and data accuracy.
  • Coordinate with internal multidisciplinary teams, external consultants and other project stakeholders.
  • Support BIM Managers/Leads in implementing SSH BIM standards, workflows and best practices.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to BIM Coordinators and Modellers within the Mechanical team.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Typically 8+ years of relevant BIM/MEP experience, with strong exposure to multidisciplinary building projects.
  • Demonstrable experience coordinating Mechanical services on large-scale hospitality, residential, mixed-use or high-rise developments.
  • Strong understanding of HVAC, plumbing, drainage and mechanical building services coordination.
  • Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit.
  • Strong working knowledge of Navisworks Manage for multidisciplinary coordination and clash detection.
  • Experience working within a Common Data Environment (CDE) and structured BIM workflows.
  • Familiarity with BIM standards and processes, including ISO 19650, would be advantageous.
  • Experience within a leading architectural, engineering or multidisciplinary design consultancy is preferred.

Key Competencies

  • Strong multidisciplinary coordination skills.
  • Excellent Revit modelling and model-management capabilities.
  • Strong understanding of Mechanical engineering design and spatial coordination.
  • Ability to identify and resolve complex BIM/design coordination issues.
  • High attention to detail and quality.
  • Effective communication and stakeholder coordination skills.
