Designer -Electrical BIM

About The Role

• Works under general supervision.
• Provides training and technical support to design staff on the Building Information Modeling system, which provides 3D models using project specifications and content.
• Direct project support and production to assigned projects and create the drawings as required using the standards and content to meet the job requirements (objects within the drawing, doors, lights, etc.).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including architects, engineers, and contractors, to ensure accurate and efficient electrical system designs.
• Develop and maintain electrical system libraries and families within the BIM software to streamline the design process.
• Perform clash detection and coordinate with other disciplines to resolve conflicts in the 3D model.
• Generate detailed electrical drawings, including single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and lighting plans.
• Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and regulations in electrical system designs.
• Participate in project meetings and contribute to discussions on electrical design aspects and BIM implementation.
• Stay updated on the latest BIM technologies, electrical design software, and industry best practices.
• Assist in developing and implementing BIM standards and workflows for electrical design projects.
• Mentor junior designers in electrical BIM practices and provide guidance on complex design issues.

Qualifications

• Graduate in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in electrical design and BIM implementation
• Should have a good understanding of Electrical LV Distribution and Lighting systems for Buildings (Multi use)
• Good working knowledge of Revit, CAD, and Navisworks
• Knowledge of other Modelling and Drafting software would be an advantage
• Proficiency in electrical design software such as AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN
