We are currently looking to recruit a BIM Developer to join our UK team and help us evolve our internal suite of custom-developed BIM tools. These tools are used day-to-day by a large civil engineering team working in 3D modelling, checking and data delivery
As part of a growing development function, you will work collaboratively with other BIM Developers and the wider BIM team, playing a key role in maintaining and evolving our toolset. The role will involve observing user interactions, defining priorities, and delivering robust, scalable solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and consistency across projects
Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
Tool Development and Enhancement
- Take ownership of an existing internal suite of BIM-related tools and plug-ins.
- Analyse, maintain, and expand these tools in response to new project requirements and team feedback.
- Ensure that tool updates are robust, well-documented, and backward-compatable, with existing workflows
Collaboration and Communication
- Work directly with other BIM Developers and the BIM Manager to clarify requirements, assess development feasibility, and prioritise enhancements.
- Respond to tool users’ feedback and proactively propose improvements to streamline their workflows.
- Participate in internal meetings and tool reviews to ensure that development aligns with team needs and project priorities.
Code Quality and Version Control
- Utilise GitLab for code version control and validation document management.
- Maintain clear documentation of tool revisions, user guides, and testing notes in English.
- Ensure tools are deployed in a controlled, traceable, and validated manner.
API Integration and BIM Environment Awareness
- Adapt tools to interface with commercial BIM software platforms (e.g. Tekla Structures, Revit, Navisworks) using available APIs.
- Support integration of tools with 3D modelling environments and support efforts to streamline BIM checks, data validation, and digital QA/QC.
