BIM Lead

The BIM Lead will guide multidisciplinary BIM and CAD delivery for large-scale, mission-critical data centre developments. The position is part of the data centre design team and requires a mechanical engineering background, strong modelling capability and experience coordinating design information across international projects. The lead will maintain consistent digital workflows and ensure models and drawings support clear, coordinated engineering decisions from concept to construction issue.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, manage and mentor BIM/CAD professionals and coordinate workload, technical output and delivery schedules.
• Oversee mechanical BIM modelling, CAD production and design coordination from concept and detailed design through issued-for-construction documentation.
• Coordinate HVAC, cooling and related MEP infrastructure with architectural, structural, electrical and other engineering disciplines.
• Manage model federation, clash detection, design reviews and resolution of multidisciplinary interface issues.
• Set BIM/CAD standards, modelling practices, naming conventions, workflows and quality assurance processes.
• Review models and drawings for accuracy, completeness, compliance and alignment with the design intent.
• Work with engineering consultants, design managers and project stakeholders to resolve technical queries and maintain coordinated deliverables.
• Support continuous improvement, team development and consistent digital delivery across project locations.

Requirements and Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering is required. Candidates should have more than 10 years of BIM/CAD and engineering design experience, including proven leadership of BIM/CAD teams and recent data centre design experience, ideally on hyperscale or large-scale facilities. Strong mechanical design knowledge, particularly HVAC and cooling systems, is essential. Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks is required, together with experience delivering mechanical design and BIM documentation from concept through IFC.

Skills

Team leadership, model coordination, clash resolution, technical checking, schedule management and clear communication are important. Candidates must be comfortable working with international teams and maintaining high standards across concurrent design packages.
