Brief Description

Vacancy Detail
You will work within our Digital Engineering/BIM function supporting the delivery of coordinated 3D MEP models. You’ll learn how we set up and maintain project models, follow agreed BIM requirements, and issue information in line with company and client standards. This apprenticeship focusses on technical delivery and coordination support (not design responsibility), with structured training and day‑to‑day mentoring from experienced engineers/technicians and the BIM team.
Typical duties you’ll be supported to learn and assist with include:
- Creating and updating Revit models based on guidance from engineers and the BIM team.
- Uploading, organising and naming files correctly within the project Common Data Environment (CDE).
- Assisting with basic coordination checks, including running clash tests and producing simple clash reports for review.
- Carrying out model/QA checks against internal procedures before information is issued externally.
- Applying company BIM/CAD standards and helping maintain template files and guidance documents (with support).
- Working collaboratively with engineers and technicians to help the team meet deadlines and deliver coordinated information.
- Developing your technical skills over time (software updates, internal procedures, best practice).
Other Information
The role will suit someone who is enthusiastic and eager to learn, with a positive attitude and a genuine interest in developing new digital/BIM skills. You’ll be comfortable working as part of a team, communicating respectfully with colleagues, and taking a proactive approach by asking questions and taking ownership of tasks appropriate to your level. We’re looking for someone reliable and organised, who pays attention to detail, is open to feedback, and is committed to building their confidence and professional skills over time.
This is a computer‑based, detail‑focused role supporting multiple live projects. You’ll need to be comfortable working carefully to standards, completing QA checks, and managing tasks to deadlines with support from the team. We’ll provide training and guidance, but you’ll need to bring commitment, curiosity and a willingness to learn.
