Position:

The BIM Operator will develop, coordinate and quality-check discipline models and digital deliverables in accordance with the BIM Execution Plan, information requirements and project standards. The role also supports program-level BIM/GIS integration, including model federation, asset data management and model-based interface management, working closely with BIM, GIS and interface management teams. The ideal candidate is a sharp, autonomous and technically versatile professional who can look beyond the model: connecting geometry, data and processes, anticipating coordination issues before they become critical, and proposing practical improvements to workflows and standards.

Requirements:

Modelling and coordination

• Create and update accurate discipline models, families, drawings, schedules and model-based deliverables.
• Apply project coordinates, naming conventions, classification, level of information need and modelling standards.
• Develop and maintain model templates, parameters and property sets, and use scripting or automation to improve the quality, consistency and speed of modelling and checking activities.
• Run model checks and clash detection, track issues to closure and support multidisciplinary coordination.
• Incorporate approved design changes and comments while maintaining model integrity and revision traceability.
• Extract drawings, quantities, schedules and views from coordinated models; maintain model health and report technical constraints to the BIM Manager.
  
  

BIM/GIS integration and data management

• Support the federation of project models into the program-level model, including periodic clash reports and clash-free models ahead of design freezes.
• Work with GIS personnel and surveyors to georeferenced models and keep a single coordinate system across BIM and GIS.
• Support the master data set: asset IDs and tags, attributes, and consistency checks between models, GIS and asset/location registers.
• Run automated and manual data validation (completeness, uniqueness of IDs, geometric and attribute consistency), flag gaps and propose corrective actions.
• Support 4D, visualization, as-built modelling and the preparation of asset information (including O&M data) for handover, facilities management and digital twin use.
  
  

Interface management, CDE and reporting

• Support model-based interface management: tag interface points in the models, identify clashes that reveal interfaces between packages, and link their closure to the interface records in the client's interface management system.
• Prepare model views, snapshots and as-built evidence for interface reviews, workshops and formal closure.
• Upload and exchange information through the common data environment, following approved status and workflow requirements, and in line with cybersecurity and data governance rules.
• Contribute to BIM/GIS KPIs and reports (clashes, data quality, interfaces) and take part in BIM reviews, coordination meetings, team training and lessons-learned activities.
• Anticipate coordination and data issues, escalate them early with clear evidence, and propose improvements to BIM/GIS workflows, standards and procedures.
• Any additional related and similar activities consistent with the expertise required to complete assigned tasks.
  
  

Job Knowledge

• Good knowledge of BIM authoring and coordination processes, openBIM/IFC workflows and ISO 19650 information management principles.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit and Navisworks; knowledge of model-checking tools (e.g. Solibri), AutoCAD, Civil 3D or Dynamo is advantageous.
• Good understanding of data structures and automation (e.g. Dynamo, Python, SQL or data-integration tools) and of dashboards for reporting (e.g. Power BI); knowledge of 4D/scheduling tools is a plus.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and multidisciplinary design information.
  
  

Education And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or technical diploma in Architecture, Engineering, BIM, Drafting or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of overall relevant experience in the Middle East and experience in BIM modelling and coordination experience on engineering or construction projects.
• Experience working within an international engineering, project management or construction company is preferred. Experience in Saudi Arabia or the GCC is an advantage.
• Experience on large multi-package programs (infrastructure, buildings, utilities) and of model-based interface or data management is an advantage.
  
  

Personal Attributes

• High attention to detail and strong focus on accuracy and traceability.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
• Systems-thinking mindset: able to connect models, data, processes and stakeholders, and to see the downstream impact of technical choices.
• Well-organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Proactive approach with the ability to identify risks and propose practical solutions early.
• Autonomous and self-driven, with intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn new tools, standards and processes quickly with limited supervision.
• Strong communication, coordination and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure in a multicultural project environment.
• High level of integrity, accountability and professional judgement.
• Strong proficiency in English; Arabic language capability is an advantage.
