BIM Engineer — Data Centre Projects
Milan, Italy
(For people who know a clash‑free model is a thing of beauty)
Most job ads for BIM Engineers are written like someone copy‑pasted a spec sheet from 2003.
This isn’t one of those ads.
Let’s start with the truth:
If you like BIM because it lets you sit quietly in a corner modelling ductwork in peace, this probably isn’t the role for you.
Because here, BIM isn’t an add‑on. It is the project — and the project is a Data Centre.
You’ll be right in the middle of it: on site, in the federated model, in the coordination meetings, and occasionally wondering how you managed to clash against yourself. (It happens. We won’t judge.)
We’re looking for a BIM Engineer who knows their way around 3D/2D deliverables, understands the joy of a properly maintained clash matrix, and won’t break into a sweat when someone mentions Revit, Plant 3D or CADWorx in the same sentence.
What you’ll actually be doing
Not the fluffy version. The real version.
- Producing high-quality 3D models that meet the projects standards.
- Delivering 2D coordination and installation drawings that are clear and easy for others to work from.
- Running clash detection like a person who believes in prevention rather than cure (every 30 minutes — yes, really).
- Building and updating federated models daily — critical on Data Centre builds where everything must fit first time.
- Supporting the BIM Lead with design, coordination and general sanity preservation.
- Attending coordination meetings where you’ll occasionally have to explain to grown adults why pipes can’t run through beams.
- Surveying, verifying, point cloud scanning, and wrestling with the total station when needed.
- Keeping registers updated so no one has to wonder who has the latest version — because they’ll know it’s yours.
- Helping with tenders when project workloads ease off (rare, but it happens).
Where you’ll be
On site — inside a proper BIM environment — on live Data Centre projects.
Because good coordination doesn’t happen from a swivel chair 200 miles away.
When you’re not on a project, you’ll be based in your Business Unit office, helping out on smaller jobs or producing tender material. And yes, you’ll still have people to talk to.
Who you’ll report to The Lead MEP Coordinator / Project BIM Lead.
In other words: people who know what you do, why it’s difficult, and why it’s important.
What you’ll need
We didn’t invent these — they actually matter:
- A degree in Engineering, Architecture or Design
- Minimum 2 years’ experience in BIM/coordination
- Strong communication and organisation skills
- The ability to work to tight deadlines without letting standards drop
Useful traits We like people who:
- Care about results
- Understand the commercial impact of good BIM (especially on Data Centres)
- Build strong working relationships
- Improve processes, not complicate them
- Sweat the details
- Bounce back after a bad day (or a bad clash report)
- Work well with others — even the ones who “don’t really get BIM”
What’s in it for you
Progression.
We won’t pretend everyone becomes a BIM Lead — but if that’s where you want to get to, we’ll help you get there when you’re actually ready, not just when someone leaves.
You’ll also gain deep knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, on‑site coordination, fabrication and construction — and the unique technical demands of Data Centre delivery.
In other words: the stuff that turns you from “Revit user” into “proper BIM professional.”
