This role is heavily focused on 3D BIM modelling using Revit and plays a critical part in the design, update, and governance of digital engineering information across the Heathrow estate.
You will work closely with engineering and project teams, contributing high-quality models and drawings that meet Heathrow Airport's strict BIM standards.
While primarily office-based near Heathrow, the role operates on a hybrid basis due to the specialist nature of the work.

Main Responsibilities:

• Produce and update BIM-compliant CAD drawings and Revit models for Heathrow Airport projects

• Provide guidance to junior team members or external design resources where required
• Participate in NEC project meetings and coordinate ongoing design updates

ESSENTIAL and Non-negotiable Requirements:

• Strong BIM capability
• Expert-level Revit proficiency
• Proven experience producing both 2D and 3D CAD models
• Experience working within BIM models that integrate into site-wide digital environments
• Ability to produce or update wiring documents, layouts, and engineering schematics
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical or engineering discipline
• Solid understanding of design processes, engineering standards, and multidisciplinary coordination
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within engineering teams
• Strong judgement, problem-solving ability, and design creativity

Desirable Industry Experience:

• Fire detection systems
• BMS / automation systems
• Building services or MEP environments

Strong BIM and Revit capability is prioritised over sector-specific experience.
