ABOUT THE ROLE

Develop, coordinate and manage electrical BIM models and construction deliverables, ensuring spatial coordination, information quality and alignment with project BIM requirements and approved engineering.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain electrical BIM models for power, lighting, containment, earthing, fire alarm and ELV interfaces to the required project LOD/LOI.
• Convert approved design/shop-drawing information into coordinated BIM models and ensure model content remains aligned with latest revisions.
• Perform multidisciplinary clash detection in Navisworks/coordination platforms and manage electrical clash resolution with mechanical, architectural and structural teams.
• Produce coordinated plans, sections, details, builders-work/opening information, schedules and model-derived drawings for technical approval and site use.
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings and maintain clash/action registers, issue tracking and model federation workflows.
• Apply project BIM Execution Plan requirements including naming, coordinates, model segmentation, worksets, parameters, data standards and CDE workflows.
• Coordinate electrical equipment spaces, cable routes, containment zones, ceiling services and maintenance/access requirements with other disciplines.
• Support quantity extraction/model-based reporting where required and assist site teams with model-based coordination and RFIs.
• Update models for approved changes and support preparation of accurate as-built/record models for handover.
• Perform model QA checks and support standardization of BIM families, templates and electrical modelling practices.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Minimum 7 years of electrical BIM/MEP coordination experience on construction projects.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical qualification.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit MEP and Navisworks Manage; AutoCAD proficiency required.
• Working knowledge of BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud, CDE workflows and clash-management processes is preferred.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems and construction coordination, not only modelling.
• UAE/GCC experience on high-rise, residential, hospitality or large building projects is strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of BIM standards, LOD/LOI and ISO 19650 concepts is an advantage.
