Reports To

BIM Coordinator / BIM Manager / Electrical Lead Engineer

Job Purpose

The BIM Modeller – Electrical is responsible for developing and coordinating electrical BIM models and design documentation for the light rail project using Autodesk Revit and/or Autodesk Civil 3D, depending on the asset type and project scope. The role covers building electrical systems and external electrical infrastructure, supporting multidisciplinary coordination and compliant project delivery.

Missions/Main Duties

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain electrical BIM models for stations, depots, substations, OCC buildings, ancillary buildings, and external rail electrical infrastructure. Model electrical systems such as power distribution, lighting, containment, cable trays, conduits, grounding/earthing, low voltage systems, and associated supports where applicable. For external works, support modelling of duct banks, cable routing, trenching, utility corridors, and interface elements in Civil 3D where required. Maintain fully functional, coordinated, and up-to-date electrical BIM models within the ACC-Forma collaborative platform, ensuring proper file linking, shared coordinates, version control, model accessibility, and compliance with project collaboration procedures. Produce electrical drawings including layouts, sections, details, schematics references, schedules, and coordinated installation drawings from the model. Coordinate electrical models with architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, rail systems, and telecom disciplines. Ensure compliance with project BIM standards, BEP, modelling procedures, naming conventions, and information requirements. Participate in clash detection, coordination meetings, and model reviews. Incorporate engineer mark-ups, design revisions, and coordination comments into models and drawings. Support extraction of quantities and asset information from the BIM model where needed.
