Senior BIM Coordinator

Job description

We are launching a brand-new BIM division within our Bristol office and are looking for a Senior BIM Coordinator to help anchor the team. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK’s premier M&E contractors at a foundational stage, taking on a role that balances technical mastery with line management responsibilities. You won’t just be managing data; you will be a key communicator, translating complex 3D models for clients and guiding the wider construction team through the design process. If you are looking for a platform where you can apply your MEP expertise to ground-breaking projects while mentoring the next generation of technicians, this role offers a clearly defined path for your professional evolution.

Key Deliverables

• Coordinate and monitor the work of the BIM team allocated to specified project(s), within budget and programme.

• Produce and maintain coordinated building information models/drawings to assist in the overall design and construction process.

• Conduct regular coordination review meetings, using 3D model as a discussion tool and highlighting variations, to ensure timely communication between the department and the wider construction team.

• Maintain a working knowledge of all MEP systems relevant to the installation commissioning and maintenance of services, to ensure optimised coordinated solutions and enable CDM compliance.

• Visit site to gain practical experience of installation practices and apply these to improve modelling and coordination effectiveness.

• Develop skills within the team in relation to software, MEP systems and coordination of work, offering guidance and feedback to maximise the performance of the team.

• Work from engineers/designers’ calculations, rough sketches or drawings to produce coordinated, accurate and structured models; incorporating NG Bailey Offsite solutions wherever possible.

• Produce drawings from 3D models for design stage, installation and/or manufacture.

What we’re looking for:

• Ideally have experience of managing BIM Technicians or similar.

• Solid experience in BIM with CAD and Revit experience

• MEP project experience

• Ability to think outside of the box, solution orientated

• Fantastic communication skills

• Client experience, ability to walk the client through what they are seeing where the client has little to no BIM or CAD knowledge
