Electrical Engineer BIM

GOAL OF THE FUNCTION

Enable coordinated, buildable, and standards-compliant electrical installations by translating designs into intelligent, clash-free BIM models. Drive multidisciplinary alignment and early risk mitigation to improve quality, constructability, planning reliability, and client satisfaction.

EXPERIENCE & REQUIREMENTS

• 7+ years of experience in electrotechnical design and BIM delivery for utility/commercial building projects.
• Proven experience delivering electrical BIM models for utility/building projects and coordinating with other disciplines.
• Demonstrated proficiency with Autodesk Revit (MEP), Navisworks (for clash detection), and AutoCAD in a project environment.
• Hands-on experience working to BIM methodologies, BIM protocols, and BIM Execution Plans (BEP), ISO 19650 principles, and BIM Basis ILS requirements where applicable.
• Strong practical experience with Revit family management, including creation/adaptation of electrical families, parameters, shared parameters, type/instance data, naming conventions, and maintaining consistent project libraries.
• Ability to independently produce shop/installation drawings, cable/containment routing, openings/sleeves, prefab details, and execution drawings.
• Experience translating BIM models into prefabtrication and industrialized installation solutions, with a strong focus on assembly sequence, accessibility, tolreances, and site constructability.
• Experience with multidisciplinary model coordination and structured clash detection/resolution workflows.
• Strong working knowledge of NEN 1010, familiarity with NEN 3140 in relation to safe operation and maintenance of electrical installations.
• Experience with data and model management within a Common Data Environment (CDE) such as Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360 or Planfred.
• Track record of collaborating effectively with engineers, work preparers, project managers, and site teams to optimize constructability.

• Data and model management Model health, information structure, and deliverables
• Revit family management Create, adapt and maintain electrical families, parameters and project libraries
• ISO 19650 / BIM Basis ILS Information management, naming, structure and information exchange requirements

DESIRED

• Planfred (CDE) Alternative CDE platform
• NEN 3140- Relevant awareness for safe operation and maintenance; secondary to NEN 1010 for this role
• European electrical standards (EN)- Awareness of relevant harmonized standards

TASKS

• Translate electrical designs into intelligent, information-rich BIM models in Revit (MEP).
• Create, adapt, validate, and maintain Revit families, parameters, and electrical content libraries in line with project standards.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary models, run clash detections in Navisworks, and support resolution with the relevant disciplines.
• Produce shop/installation drawings, cable tray/conduit routing, openings/sleeves, prefab details, and execution drawings.
• Develop BIM output with explicit attention to prefabrication, modularization/industrialization, installation sequence, accessibility, tolerances, and practical site execution.
• Manage model data, versions, and issue workflows within a CDE (Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360 or Planfred).
• Apply BIM protocols, BEP requirements, ISO 19650 principles, and BIM Basis ILS conventions for modeling standards, naming, parameters, and information delivery.
• Verify compliance with NEN 1010 and relevant European norms in designs and deliverables; consider NEN 3140 where applicable.
• Collaborate with engineers, work preparers, project managers, and site teams to optimize constructability, prefabrication opportunities, and sequencing.
• Identify risks and design conflicts early and propose practical, cost- and time-effective solutions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of BIM templates, Revit families, libraries, and processes.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Ensure the accuracy, completeness, and coordination quality of the electrical BIM model and deliverables.
• Apply the project BEP, BIM protocols, ISO 19650 principles, BIM Basis ILS requirements, and agreed CDE information workflows within the electrical scope.
• Manage and maintain electrical Revit families and parameters so that model content remains consistent, usable, and suitable for project information requirements.
• Manage clash detection activities for the electrical discipline, coordinate issue resolution, and document decisions and changes within the agreed project workflow.
• Safeguard compliance with NEN 1010 and project-specific electrical standards; apply NEN 3140 where relevant to operation and maintenance considerations.
• Plan and monitor modeling activities to meet milestones, quality criteria, and information requirements.
• Communicate technical implications, constraints, and optimization opportunities to stakeholders.
• Support site execution with timely, constructible drawings and updates based on field feedback.
• Actively identify opportunities for prefabrication and industrialized installation and translate these into practical, buildable BIM solutions.

This position is a senior technical BIM engineering role. It does not include ownership of project-wide BIM governance, company-wide BIM policy, final multidisciplinary BIM decision authority, or unrestricted CDE/permission administration. Such responsibilities remain with the designated BIM Lead/BIM Manager.
