BIM Designer - Rail

About the role

Egis, an international architecture, consulting and construction engineering group, is looking for an experienced BIM modeller with a strong rail infrastructure background. The role produces and maintains high-quality, federated 3D models to LOD 350, with elements represented as specific systems with accurate quantity, size, shape, location, orientation and defined interfaces, supporting coordination, clash detection and downstream construction use.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain rail discipline models (trackwork, alignments, earthworks, drainage, structures, stations, platforms, OCS/catenary, signalling and systems routing) to LOD 350, with modelled interfaces for clash detection and coordination.
• Translate design inputs such as alignments, survey data, 2D drawings, engineering sketches and specifications into accurate, data-rich 3D models.
• Apply project BIM standards, the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), naming conventions and agreed Levels of Development.
• Embed and manage object parameters and attributes so models support quantity take-off, scheduling and asset information.
• Take part in federated model coordination and clash-detection sessions, logging and resolving clashes.
• Maintain model integrity, version control and revision history in the Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Produce model-derived outputs: plans, sections, schedules, quantities and visualisations.
• Liaise with engineers, designers and BIM coordinators, and support QA/QC checks and workflow improvements.

Required profile

• Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction, Geomatics or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrable experience as a BIM modeller on rail or transport / linear infrastructure projects.
• Proven track record delivering models to LOD 350 with modelled system interfaces and connections.
• Ability to read and interpret civil and structural engineering drawings and specifications.
• Attention to detail, strong spatial awareness and good coordination and communication skills.

Required skills

• Revit, Civil 3D, InfraWorks and Navisworks; Bentley OpenRail Designer, MicroStation and ProStructures / OpenBuildings advantageous.
• Familiarity with a Common Data Environment (e.g. BIM 360 / ACC, ProjectWise) and point-cloud handling an advantage.
• Knowledge of rail elements such as track geometry, turnouts, ballast, sleepers, platforms and overhead line equipment.
• Desirable: experience across multiple LODs, exposure to 4D/5D workflows, knowledge of rail standards, and experience with BIM content libraries.
