A structural BIM engineer develops, coordinates, and quality-checks Revit models and shop/fabrication drawings for precast concrete structures, resolving clashes with other disciplines via Navisworks and ensuring outputs follow project BIM standards. Core tools: Revit (incl. family creation/parametric modeling), Navisworks, reinforcement and precast connection detailing, plus Concise Beam for desi
.
Job Purpose
Developing, coordinating, and controlling structural BIM models and related technical deliverables in accordance with project BIM requirements, design information, construction priorities, and applicable coordination workflows. Support clash-free, constructible, and properly documented structural outputs for design, shop drawing, and multidisciplinary coordination stages.
Key Accountability Areas
Structural BIM Modeling:
- Develop and maintain structural BIM models for concrete, steel, foundations, slabs, beams, columns, walls, stairs, openings, and related structural components.
- Coordinate with structural designers and site teams to ensure the model reflects approved design intent and practical construction requirements.
Structural Drawings & Documentation
- Prepare and update structural shop drawings, plans, sections, details, schedules, and quantity-related outputs extracted from BIM models where applicable.
- Review design drawings, consultant comments, RFIs, and coordination inputs, then reflect approved updates in the structural model and drawings.
- Support submission tracking by updating drawing status, revision records, consultant comment responses, and model/drawing issue logs.
BIM Coordination & Clash Resolution:
- Coordinate structural models with architectural, MEP, infrastructure, and construction teams to identify and resolve clashes and interface issues.
- Support clash detection workflows by preparing models for Navisworks or equivalent coordination platforms, reviewing clash reports, and closing assigned issues.
- Prepare clear technical markups and coordination notes for unresolved structural conflicts, missing information, or design discrepancies.
BIM Standards & Quality Control:
- Ensure model accuracy, naming conventions, worksets, levels, grids, views, sheets, parameters, and families comply with the project BIM Execution Plan and company standards.
- Maintain model health by auditing warnings, duplicate elements, constraints, links, file size, view templates, and worksharing practices.
Role Accountability
HR Proficiency:
- Ability to obtain updated soft and technical skills related to the job
- To have a vision and a plan for the career path and how to achieve it.
Delivery:
- Perform the planned activities to meet the operational and development targets as per delivery schedules.
- Utilize resources effectively to achieve objectives within efficient cost and time.
- Provide a periodic report formatted by detailing the deviation and execution of planned tasks.
Problem-Solving:
- Solve any related problems arise and escalate any complex operational issues.
Quality:
- Ensure quality requirements to develop effective quality control and processes including specifications for products or processes or related activities.
Business Process Improvements:
- Coordinate well-defined written systems, policies, procedures, and seek automations opportunities as much as possible.
Compliance:
- Comply to related policy and procedures and work instructions.
Health, Safety, and Environment:
- Ensure compliance of relevant safety, quality, and environmental management procedures and controls within defined area of work activity to guarantee safety, legislative compliance, and delivery of high-quality products/services.
Required Skills
- Strong experience in Revit for precast detailing.
- Experience in Revit family creation and parametric modeling.
- Strong knowledge of reinforcement detailing and precast connection detailing.
- Preparation of fabrication drawings, shop drawings, and IFC drawings.
- Good understanding of precast concrete elements, detailing requirements, and production workflow.
- Knowledge of BIM standards, LOD requirements, clash detection, and multidisciplinary coordination.
- Familiarity with relevant international codes and standards.
- Experience with structural analysis/design software, particularly Concise Beam, is preferred.
- Experience in structural calculations and basic design checks for precast elements is an advantage.
