BIM Specialist – Digital Twin Development

Location: Chennai, India
Experience: 3-5 years
Employment Type: Full time

About the Role

We're building next-generation digital twin platforms for smart buildings and industrial facilities. We need BIM specialists who can create accurate, data-rich building models from laser scans, coordinate multi-discipline designs, and integrate 3D models with real-time operational data to power facility management and predictive analytics.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain LOD 300-500 BIM models using Autodesk Revit (Architecture, Structure, MEP) for commercial, industrial, and manufacturing facilities
- Execute Scan-to-BIM workflows: process point cloud data using ReCap, convert laser scans to accurate parametric models with validated geometric tolerances
- Perform clash detection and federated model coordination using Navisworks; manage clash sets, issue tracking, and resolution logs with design and trade partners
- Create and structure parametric Revit families, parameters, and templates per BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and project standards
- Implement BIM standards (LOD definitions, shared parameters, naming conventions, worksharing); perform QA/QC and model health audits
- Integrate BIM models with 4D scheduling (construction sequencing) and 5D cost estimation for project delivery optimization
- Collaborate with GIS analysts and IoT engineers to create digital twins with real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities
- Generate construction documentation, quantity takeoffs, material schedules, and asset information for facility management handover
- Conduct constructability reviews and coordination workflows using Navisworks/Revizto with multi-stakeholder teams

Required Skills

Core BIM Software:

- Autodesk Revit (Architecture, Structure, MEP) – Expert proficiency with 3+ years hands-on modeling, family creation, and template management
- Autodesk Navisworks – Clash detection, coordination review, 4D simulation, and conflict resolution
- AutoCAD (2D/3D) – Editing legacy drawings, creating construction documents, integrating older project data into BIM workflows
- Point Cloud Processing – ReCap or equivalent tools for as-built modeling from laser scan data

Technical Capabilities:

- Multi-discipline coordination experience across Architectural, Structural,



and MEP systems
- BIM standards knowledge: ISO 19650, LOD specifications (200-500), IFC data exchange, COBie delivery
- Parametric modeling with accurate geometric constraints, metadata embedding, and data-driven workflows
- Federated model management for large-scale multi-consultant projects

Preferred Skills:

- Blender, SketchUp, or 3ds Max – 3D visualization, rendering, and presentation graphics for stakeholder communication
- BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud – Cloud collaboration, version control, model synchronization
- Dynamo for Revit – Visual programming for workflow automation and repetitive task optimization
- Civil 3D or MicroStation – Site grading, infrastructure modeling, and integration with building models
- Lumion, Enscape, or V-Ray – Photorealistic rendering and walkthrough animation
- Tekla Structures or Bentley Systems – Structural steel detailing and complex fabrication modeling
- Basic Python or C# scripting for BIM automation and data extraction

Digital Twin Context

What Makes This Role Different:

- Beyond traditional BIM: integrating 3D models with IoT sensor data, SCADA systems, and facility operations
- Creating "living" building models that update with real-time performance data for predictive maintenance
- Bridging construction phase BIM with operational digital twins for lifecycle asset management
- Collaborating with software engineers, data scientists, and facility managers—not just architects and engineers

You'll Learn:

- GIS integration and spatial coordinate system management
- Real-time data visualization overlays on BIM models
- API-based data exchange between BIM platforms and IoT/FM systems
- Industry 4.0 concepts applied to building and facility management

Qualifications

Education:

- B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or related field
- Diploma in Civil/Architecture with exceptional BIM experience considered

Experience:





- 3-5 years professional BIM experience in design, construction, or facility management
- Complex multi-discipline projects (hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, commercial complexes) strongly preferred
- Demonstrated experience resolving design conflicts through clash detection and coordination

Certifications (Preferred):

- Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) in Revit or AutoCAD
- BIM certification from recognized institutions
- ISO 19650 or similar BIM standards training

What Makes You Stand Out

- Scan-to-BIM specialization – Retrofit/renovation projects requiring point cloud conversion to accurate BIM models
- Industrial facility experience – Manufacturing plants, factories, warehouses with production equipment and complex MEP systems
- Team leadership – Managed BIM teams (5+ members), coordinated consultants, or led federated model workflows
- 4D/5D BIM – Construction scheduling integration, cost estimation linking, or project lifecycle simulation
- International projects – US, UK, UAE, or Middle East projects demonstrating adaptability to diverse standards
- Measurable impact – Quantified clash reduction, cycle time improvements, accuracy validation, or workflow optimization

Project Types We Value:

- Large-scale commercial (50,000+ sq.ft multi-story buildings) over small residential
- Healthcare facilities with specialized technical requirements
- Data centers with dense MEP coordination challenges
- Factory/manufacturing facilities with equipment-intensive environments
- Campus developments requiring multi-building coordination

What We Offer

- Work on cutting-edge digital twin technology transforming facility management
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (GIS, IoT, full-stack developers, data scientists)
- Continuous learning opportunities in emerging AEC technology
- Competitive compensation based on experience and demonstrated expertise

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent, Fresher

Pay: ₹20,000.00 - ₹35,000.00 per month

Benefits:

- Health insurance
- Provident Fund

Ability to commute/relocate:

- Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Preferred)

Education:

- Bachelor's (Required)

Location:

- Chennai, Tamil Nadu (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
