1. Position Overview

We are looking for an Electrical BIM Engineer / BIM Modeler with a solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, electrical services design, BIM modelling and multidisciplinary coordination. The ideal candidate should not be limited to producing 3D models from mark-ups. The candidate must be capable of understanding electrical design requirements, interpreting engineering drawings and specifications, developing electrical layouts to an appropriate level, producing coordinated Revit models and drawings, and identifying design and coordination issues using Navisworks.

The role will involve working across electrical power, lighting, low-voltage/ELV systems, containment and external electrical services, while coordinating closely with architectural, structural, MEP and project teams.

2. Key Responsibilities

2.1 Electrical Design & Engineering Support

· Interpret electrical design requirements, specifications, sketches and engineering inputs.

· Prepare and develop electrical layouts for residential, commercial, industrial and modular construction projects.

· Develop layouts for lighting, small power, emergency power, electrical containment, cable trays, cable ladders, conduits, DBs and electrical panels.

· Prepare and review Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for DBs and electrical panels based on approved engineering inputs.

· Understand electrical load requirements and assist with load schedules, circuiting and equipment selection where required.

· Understand basic electrical design parameters, equipment clearances, cable routing and installation requirements.

· Prepare external electrical services layouts including trench routes and external lighting.

· Review designs against relevant project specifications, applicable codes and engineering standards.

· Identify design discrepancies and raise technical queries where engineering clarification is required.

2.2 Low-Voltage / ELV Systems

The candidate should have practical understanding of:

· Fire Detection & Alarm

· Public Address / Voice Evacuation

· CCTV

· Access Control

· Data / Telecom pathways

· Security systems and other ELV systems applicable to the project

Responsibilities may include preparation of layouts, containment routes, equipment locations, schematics and coordinated BIM models based on project requirements and engineering design.

2.3 Revit Electrical BIM Modelling

· Develop accurate electrical BIM models from engineering drawings, specifications and design information.

· Model electrical equipment, panels, DBs, lighting fixtures, sockets, containment and associated electrical services.

· Model cable trays, ladders, conduits and other electrical containment systems.

· Develop electrical systems and circuiting within Revit where required.

· Maintain appropriate model structure, naming conventions, worksets, families and project standards.

· Create and modify electrical Revit families where required.

· Extract schedules and quantities from Revit models.

· Prepare coordinated plans, sections, elevations and details from BIM models.





· Maintain model accuracy and ensure the model reflects approved design intent.

The candidate should be able to model independently rather than only follow step-by-step modelling instructions.

2.4 AutoCAD

· Prepare and modify 2D electrical layouts.

· Prepare SLDs and schematics.

· Develop lighting and power layouts.

· Prepare panel/equipment layouts.

· Prepare cable tray/conduit layouts.

· Prepare external electrical services layouts.

· Read and interpret architectural, structural and MEP drawings.

· Convert engineering information and sketches into accurate construction drawings.

2.5 Navisworks & BIM Coordination

· Federate architectural, structural and MEP models.

· Perform clash detection and coordination reviews.

· Identify hard and soft clashes.

· Review electrical services against architectural and structural constraints.

· Prepare clash reports.

· Communicate coordination issues to relevant engineering teams.

· Participate in coordination meetings.

· Implement approved coordination changes in Revit.

· Maintain coordination status and close identified clashes.

The candidate should understand that Navisworks is not only a clash-reporting tool; they should be able to understand the reason for a clash and contribute to finding a practical engineering solution.

2.6 Electrical Drawings & Documentation

· Electrical layout drawings

· Lighting layouts

· Power layouts

· DB layouts

· Panel layouts

· SLDs

· Cable tray layouts

· Conduit layouts

· ELV layouts

· Equipment layouts

· Electrical room layouts

· External electrical layouts

· Construction/shop drawings

· As-built drawings

· Wiring schedules

· Cable schedules

· Equipment schedules

· Quantity take-offs

2.7 Multidisciplinary Coordination

Work closely with:

· Electrical Engineers

· Mechanical/MEP Engineers

· Architects

· Structural Engineers

· BIM Coordinators

· BIM Managers

· Project Managers

· Site Engineers

· Contractors

· Fabrication/Installation teams

The candidate should understand how electrical services interact with architectural, structural and other MEP systems.

2.8 Design Review & Problem Solving

· Review electrical drawings before modelling.

· Identify missing information and inconsistencies.

· Detect constructability issues.

· Identify clashes and routing constraints.

· Suggest practical routing solutions.

· Escalate issues requiring engineering approval.

· Implement approved design changes.

· Maintain drawing/model accuracy through revisions.

Important: This role requires the ability to understand and develop electrical design information, but the candidate is not expected to independently act as the project's statutory electrical design consultant unless separately authorised and qualified to do so.

3. Required Technical Skills

· Autodesk Revit MEP – Electrical: 3D electrical modelling, electrical systems, lighting/power modelling, cable tray/conduit, families, schedules, views/sheets and model management.

· AutoCAD: strong 2D electrical drafting, layouts, SLDs, schematics and drawing modifications.

· Navisworks: model federation, clash detection, coordination, clash reporting and model review.

· Electrical engineering:



practical understanding of distribution systems, lighting, small power, DBs/panels, SLDs, cable routing, trays/ladders, conduits, earthing, electrical equipment, UPS, transformer/DG equipment and basic load concepts.

· ELV systems: practical understanding of fire detection, public address, CCTV, access control and related systems.

4. Design Capability Expected

This is not purely a BIM modelling position. The candidate should be able to:

READ → UNDERSTAND → DEVELOP → MODEL → COORDINATE → DOCUMENT

rather than simply receiving a completed drawing and modelling it. The candidate should be comfortable taking an engineering sketch, drawing or specification and developing the relevant electrical layout/model/drawing, while recognising when a matter requires review or approval from a qualified electrical engineer.

5. Qualification

· Minimum: Diploma in Electrical Engineering / Electrical & Electronics Engineering OR ITI qualification in Electrical with substantial relevant industry experience.

· Preferred: Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Electrical Engineering.

· BIM / Revit certification or equivalent practical experience is preferred.

6. Experience

Preferred: 3–5+ years of relevant experience, with substantial hands-on experience in electrical BIM modelling, Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks, electrical drafting/design support and multidisciplinary BIM coordination.

Candidates with 5+ years of Revit Electrical modelling experience and demonstrated electrical engineering/design understanding will be particularly relevant.

7. Soft Skills

· Strong technical communication

· Ability to work independently

· Good coordination skills

· Problem-solving mindset

· Attention to detail

· Ability to interpret engineering information

· Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams

· Strong documentation discipline

· Willingness to visit project sites when required

· Ability to work within project deadlines

· Professional and accountable approach
