Role Purpose

The BIM Engineer – Landscape will be responsible for developing, coordinating, and managing Building Information Modelling (BIM) models and technical drawings for landscape projects, including hardscape, softscape, irrigation networks, waterscape, and external works.

The role involves developing coordinated 3D models, preparing landscape shop drawings, integrating design information from multiple disciplines, identifying clashes, and ensuring that all BIM deliverables comply with project requirements, approved drawings, specifications, and applicable BIM standards.

The candidate will work closely with the Landscape Engineering, Technical, Planning, Construction, and BIM teams to ensure accurate modelling, efficient coordination, and timely submission of landscape BIM deliverables.

Key Accountabilities

BIM Modelling and Development

• Develop and maintain 3D BIM models for landscape works, including hardscape, softscape, irrigation, waterscape, street furniture, and external amenities.
• Develop landscape BIM models using Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, and other relevant BIM software, as required by the project.
• Prepare and update landscape models based on IFC drawings, approved shop drawings, design changes, site requirements, and consultant comments.
• Model landscape elements, including paving patterns, kerbs, planters, retaining walls, steps, ramps, tree pits, planting areas, and irrigation infrastructure.
• Incorporate road layouts, levels, grading information, and surface data into landscape models.
• Extract coordinated 2D drawings, sections, details, schedules, and quantities from BIM models.
• Maintain model accuracy and ensure consistency between 3D models, 2D drawings, and project documentation.

BIM Coordination and Clash Detection

• Coordinate landscape models with civil, architectural, structural, MEP, infrastructure, and other relevant disciplines.
• Perform clash detection and identify conflicts between landscape elements and underground or above-ground utilities, drainage systems, street lighting, road infrastructure, and other services.
• Review and resolve clashes in coordination with the relevant engineering teams.
• Participate in BIM coordination meetings and prepare clash reports and coordination records.
• Review and incorporate comments from consultants, clients, and other project stakeholders.
• Ensure that landscape models are aligned with the latest approved road geometry, levels, Civil 3D surfaces, and other relevant design information.

Shop Drawings and Technical Submissions

• Prepare landscape shop drawings and coordinated BIM-based technical submissions.
• Develop detailed drawings for paving layouts, setting out, levels, sections, planting layouts, tree locations, irrigation layouts, and other landscape elements.
• Prepare drawings and details required for construction execution and site coordination.
• Support the preparation of material quantity take-offs and BOQ comparisons using BIM models.
• Update drawings and models in accordance with approved materials, technical specifications, and consultant comments.
• Ensure timely submission of BIM models and drawings in accordance with the project schedule and submission requirements.

BIM Data and Model Management

• Maintain model versions, drawing registers, and BIM deliverable records.
• Ensure compliance with the project BIM Execution Plan (BEP), Employer's Information Requirements (EIR), and applicable BIM standards.
• Manage model exchanges and coordinate information using the Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Ensure appropriate naming conventions, file structures, revision control, and model status management.
• Support the preparation and updating of BIM deliverable schedules.
• Maintain proper coordination between design information, shop drawings, and construction requirements.

Site and Construction Support

• Coordinate with landscape site teams to resolve technical issues and discrepancies between BIM models and actual site conditions.
• Update models based on approved site changes and as-built information.
• Support the construction team with setting-out information, levels, dimensions, and technical details.
• Assist in identifying design discrepancies, constructability issues, and potential variations before execution.
• Coordinate with procurement and technical teams to support material quantification and technical evaluations.
• Provide timely technical support to ensure smooth landscape construction activities.

Qualifications, Experience, Knowledge & Skills

• Preference will be given to candidates with experience in UAE landscape and infrastructure projects involving:
• Large-scale residential communities and villa developments.
• Streetscape and public realm projects.
• Landscape works integrated with road and infrastructure networks.
• Hardscape and softscape construction packages.
• rrigation systems and utility coordination.
• Consultant and authority submission processes.
