Drafting, Modeling & Technical Delivery:

  • Lead the production of fully coordinated MEP drawings and BIM models for HVAC, Electrical (Power/Lighting/Low Current), Plumbing, Drainage, and Fire Fighting systems.
  • Prepare detailed schematics, riser diagrams, plant room layouts, and typical installation details for high-rise and industrial projects.
  • Ensure all MEP services are modeled to the required Level of Detail (LOD) and adhere to company CAD/BIM standards.
  • Convert engineering design mark-ups into accurate construction documentation and shop drawings.
  • Maintain updated libraries of MEP families and blocks to ensure modeling efficiency and accuracy.

Coordination & Clash Detection:

  • Utilize Navisworks to execute rigorous clash detection between MEP services and Structural/Architectural elements; manage the resolution of clashes with the engineering team.
  • Coordinate service routes to optimize ceiling voids and vertical shafts, ensuring constructability and maintenance access.
  • Collaborate with the structural and civil teams to ensure penetrations, sleeves, and openings are accurately located in the structural model.

Site Support & Quality Control:

  • Review contractor shop drawings and material submittals against the design model to ensure compliance.
  • Assist in the production of Combined Services Drawings (CSD) and Builders Work in Connection (BWIC) drawings.
  • Conduct site inspections to verify that MEP installations match the coordinated BIM models and "As-Built" documentation whenever requested.

  • Experience A minimum of seven to ten (7-10) years of progressive experience in MEP drafting and coordination for residential, industrial, and high-rise buildings.
  • BIM Experience: Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in MEP BIM modeling.
  • Software Proficiency Expert-level proficiency is mandatory in AutoCAD, Revit (MEP), and Navisworks. Awareness of calculation software (e.g., HAP, Dialux, Elite Fire) is an advantage.
  • Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of MEP systems coordination, plant room spatial requirements, and building services codes.
