• Ensure all drawing work is fully coordinated, proactively identifying and resolving potential clashes and ensuring accurate integration within the overall building design.
• Produce Revit and AutoCAD drawings in accordance with project schedules and deadlines.
• Maintain accurate drawing referencing, including timely updates of revision statuses and ensuring all drawing issues are accompanied by a comprehensive drawing issue register.
• Effectively communicate and liaise with other designers, consultants, and stakeholders as required to facilitate project coordination and information exchange.
• Adhere to and actively promote the company's BIM/Revit/CAD standards, workflows, and best practices.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of BIM processes and standards within the team.

Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field. A Diploma in a relevant engineering discipline with significant experience may also be considered.

Experience:
A minimum of 5-8 years of relevant professional experience in BIM and CAD drafting for MEP systems within the building services or process plant industries.

Essential Skills:

• Demonstrable expert proficiency in Autodesk Revit modeling and its application to process plant and MEP systems, with a strong understanding of the latest software releases and BIM methodologies.
• Significant experience working within a Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment, including understanding of BIM execution plans, data management, and collaboration workflows.
• Proven experience as a highly competent CAD operator with expertise in the latest releases of AutoCAD.
• Strong understanding of construction processes and the ability to translate design information into constructible drawings.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively interact with internal and external stakeholders.
• A proactive, enthusiastic, and flexible approach to work with a strong willingness to learn and adapt.
• Intuitive approach to design challenges and problem-solving with a keen attention to detail.
• Ability to comply with and maintain company BIM/Revit/CAD standards and workflows.

Preferred Skills:

• Solid understanding of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems and their integration within building designs.
• Experience with clash detection software and processes (e.g., Navisworks).
• Experience in supporting global projects and understanding international design standards.

Required Traits:

• Highly reliable and self-motivated individual with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Ability to work independently and manage tasks effectively with minimal supervision.
