Job Description

The role oversees the development and maintenance of Revit frameworks, templates, and modelling standards tailored to civil and structural disciplines. It ensures accurate, efficient, and high-quality structural modelling across projects while coordinating workflows with multi-disciplinary teams. The position also plays a key role in driving technical excellence, standardisation, and continuous improvement within the organisation’s BIM environment.

Key responsibilities:

Structural Revit framework & technical development:

  • Lead the setup, build, and ongoing development of the Revit framework for civil and structural engineering disciplines.
  • Develop, maintain, and optimise structural Revit templates, families, connections, reinforcement libraries, parametric components, and discipline‑specific macros.
  • Ensure consistent application of structural modelling standards, including modelling conventions, annotation standards, and documentation outputs.
  • Drive continuous improvement of structural modelling workflows, detailing processes, and overall Revit project environment.
  • Oversee integration of Revit with analysis tools (e.g., Robot, Prokon, ETABS, SAFE, or similar), where applicable

Team leadership & coordination:

  • Lead, mentor, and support a team of structural Revit technicians/modellers and multi-disciplinary Revit users.
  • Provide discipline-specific oversight for structural Revit deliverables, ensuring technical accuracy and compliance with engineering intent.
  • Coordinate BIM/Revit requirements with civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and other involved teams.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for structural Revit technical guidance, complex modelling queries, and best practices.

Training & support:

  • Deliver Revit training focused on structural modelling, detailing, reinforcement workflows, and discipline-specific standards.
  • Support onboarding and development of new users specialising in structural Revit work.
  • Troubleshoot structural Revit issues, model performance concerns, and coordination challenges; propose solutions to enhance efficiency.

Quality, standards & model governance:

  • Uphold and enforce structural Revit quality standards and ensure compliance across all work produced.
  • Conduct model audits, clash reviews, QA/QC checks, and consistency assessments for structural deliverables.
  • Recommend and implement enhancements to improve model accuracy, coordination, efficiency, and performance.
  • Ensure that structural documentation generated from Revit meets project requirements, engineering standards, and industry best practice.

Key competencies:

  • Advanced technical expertise in structural Revit modelling and documentation.
  • Strong leadership and team mentoring capabilities.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Effective communication and stakeholder coordination abilities.
  • High attention to detail with a commitment to quality and accuracy.
  • Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Proactive mindset with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement.

Minimum requirements:

  • Minimum of 8 years’ experience working with Revit in a civil/structural engineering environment.
  • Proven experience in developing structural Revit templates, parametric families, reinforcement libraries, and system frameworks.
  • At least 2 years’ experience leading or mentoring a team of Revit users.
  • Strong understanding of structural engineering principles, modelling standards, and detailing practices.

Preferred qualifications:

  • BTech or Diploma in Civil/Structural Engineering.
  • Revit Certification or recognised BIM/Revit training.
  • Experience working in a multi-disciplinary BIM environment.
  • Exposure to integration between Revit and structural analysis software.
