We are looking for a dedicated and skilled MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) BIM Engineer to take a leading role in the digital design and coordination of our building services systems. This position is fundamental to our integrated project delivery approach, requiring an individual who can create and manage detailed, data-rich MEP models. The ideal candidate will be an expert in BIM processes, responsible for coordinating all MEP systems with architectural and structural elements to produce a clash-free, constructible, and highly efficient design. You will be a key player in leveraging BIM technology to optimize building performance and streamline the construction process.

OVERALL RESPONSIBILITIES

MEP BIM Modeling & Management

• Develop and manage intelligent 3D BIM models for all MEP systems, including HVAC, electrical power and lighting, plumbing, and fire protection, using Revit MEP.
• Ensure all MEP models are developed in accordance with the project’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and adhere to company standards and best practices.
• Enrich MEP models with essential data, such as equipment specifications, materials, and performance criteria, to support analysis and facility management.
• Maintain and update the MEP models throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring all design changes are accurately reflected and communicated to the project team.
• Develop and customize MEP-specific Revit families and content to improve modeling efficiency and standardization.

Interdisciplinary Coordination & Clash Detection

• Lead the MEP coordination process by integrating MEP models with architectural and structural disciplines in a federated model.
• Perform regular, detailed clash detection using Navisworks to identify and resolve conflicts between MEP systems and other building components.
• Generate and present clash reports in coordination meetings, collaborating with engineers, architects, and contractors to find effective solutions.
• Proactively manage spatial allocation for MEP services to ensure efficient layouts and compliance with design and code requirements.

Documentation, Analysis & Support

• Generate accurate and coordinated construction documents, including MEP plans, sections, schematics, and equipment schedules, directly from the BIM model.
• Utilize the BIM model to perform analyses related to energy consumption, lighting, and system loads to support design optimization.
• Extract material takeoffs and quantities from the MEP model to assist with cost estimation and procurement.
• Provide technical support and training to design engineers and junior staff on BIM software and workflows, promoting digital literacy across the team.

Requirements

Hard skills and experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• A minimum of three (3) years of hands-on experience in MEP modeling and coordination for complex building projects.
• In-depth knowledge of MEP systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection), including their design principles and installation requirements.
• Demonstrated proficiency in creating, managing, and coordinating detailed MEP models in a multi-disciplinary environment.
• Strong understanding of BIM standards, data management, and collaborative workflows.
