The opportunity has arisen to join an industry leader in UK’s & Ireland’s Building Services sector. Alternative Heat design, develop and deliver a wide range of offsite-prefabricated, innovative, and sustainable building service solutions throughout the UK & Europe.
Our BIM (Building Information Modelling) team plays a vital role in delivering accurate, coordinated, and data-rich 3D models for use throughout the design, construction, and installation phases of our projects. Working closely with design engineers, project managers, and site teams, the department ensures that all mechanical and electrical services are fully integrated and clash-free prior to construction. This proactive approach helps reduce risk, improve efficiency, and enhance collaboration across all stakeholders — ultimately supporting the successful delivery of high-quality, bespoke MEP solutions.
- Document Management: Maintain clear records of BIM documentation, including revision histories, model updates, and coordination notes, ensuring all data is properly stored and accessible.
- Mentorship & Collaboration: Work collaboratively with peers, offering assistance and sharing technical knowledge to promote consistent modelling quality and team growth.
- Software Integration Awareness: Support the implementation of processes linking BIM models with other software tools (e.g., Dynamo), ensuring interoperability and workflow efficiency.
- Performance Support: Monitor deliverable progress and provide feedback on model quality and adherence to standards, escalating concerns as needed.
- Design Coordination: Support the integration of discipline-specific models (e.g., MEP, structural, architectural), ensuring alignment with project requirements, specifications, and established BIM standards.
- 4D, 5D, & 6D BIM Support: Assist in integrating time (4D), cost (5D), and facility management (6D) data into BIM models when applicable, under the direction of the BIM Lead/Manager.
- Quality Assurance Checks: Conduct routine checks on BIM models and drawings to verify accuracy and adherence to quality standards, reporting any inconsistencies or deviations to the BIM Lead/Manager.
- Clash Detection & Resolution Support: Run clash detection processes and assist in documenting and communicating identified issues to the relevant design teams for resolution prior to construction.
- Task Coordination: Assist in scheduling and tracking BIM-related deliverables, ensuring assigned tasks are progressing in line with project milestones. Provide updates to the BIM Lead/Manager on task status and any potential delays.
- Feedback & Continuous Improvement: Gather and relay feedback from project teams regarding BIM workflows and deliverables, contributing to process improvement and best practice development.
- Skill Development Support: Identify personal areas for BIM skill enhancement and assist the team in accessing relevant learning resources or internal training sessions as directed by the BIM Manager.
- Resource Coordination: Liaise with the BIM Lead/Manager regarding team resource requirements, helping to coordinate workloads and ensuring appropriate support for each project phase.
- Project Reporting Assistance: Compile and maintain progress data for reporting purposes, highlighting project updates, key achievements, and coordination challenges for review with the BIM Lead/Manager.
- Project Modelling: Contribute to the development and coordination of BIM models, focusing on accurate model creation and integration of information across disciplines.
- Project Delivery Support: Support the BIM Lead/Manager in implementing the BIM strategy and project delivery programme, ensuring alignment with project objectives, timelines, and company standards.
- BIM Execution Plan (BEP) Familiarisation: Review and understand the project-specific BIM Execution Plan, including BIM objectives, standards, workflows, roles, and deliverables, to ensure accurate application throughout project stages.
- Internal Coordination: Organise and participate in BIM coordination meetings, documenting actions, issues, and follow-ups to support clear communication within the project team.
- Stakeholder Coordination: Support the BIM Lead/Manager in liaising with external stakeholders such as architects, engineers, and contractors, facilitating effective BIM-related communication and data exchange.
