BIM Designer - Rail

Job description

We are seeking an experienced BIM Modeller with a strong background in rail infrastructure to produce and maintain high-quality, federated 3D models developed to LOD 350. The successful candidate will create discipline models in which elements are graphically represented as specific systems - with accurate quantity, size, shape, location, orientation, and defined interfaces and connections to adjacent systems - enabling reliable 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 between systems suitable for clash detection and coordination. Translate design inputs - 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 / Information per the model progression schedule. Embed and manage object parameters and attribute data so models are usable for quantity take-off, scheduling, and asset information requirements. Participate in federated model coordination and clash-detection sessions; identify, log, and resolve clashes between disciplines. Maintain model integrity, version control, and revision history within the Common Data Environment (CDE). Produce model-derived outputs: plans, sections, schedules, quantities, and visualisations. Liaise with engineers, designers, BIM Coordinators, and other disciplines to ensure design intent is accurately captured. Support QA/QC checks on models and contributes to continuous improvement of modelling workflows and content libraries. Required Qualifications & Experience 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, including modelled system interfaces and connections (not just standalone geometry). Solid understanding of BIM concepts: LOD/LOI, model federation, clash detection, and the ISO 19650 information-management workflow. Strong knowledge of rail-specific elements: track geometry and alignments, turnouts/switches, ballast and sleepers, platforms, overhead line equipment, and corridor/structure interfaces. Ability to read and interpret civil and structural engineering drawings and specifications. Attention to detail, strong spatial awareness, and good coordination/communication skills. Software Proficiency Autodesk: Revit, Civil 3D, InfraWorks, Navisworks (clash detection / coordination) Bentley: OpenRail Designer, MicroStation, ProStructures / OpenBuildings (advantageous for rail projects) Familiarity with a Common Data Environment (e.g., BIM 360 / ACC, ProjectWise, or equivalent) Point-cloud / survey data handling is an advantage Preferred / Desirable Experience across multiple LODs and understanding of model progression from LOD 200 → 350 → 400. Exposure to 4D (sequencing) or 5D (cost) workflows. Knowledge of relevant rail standards and authority requirements applicable to your region. Experience producing or maintaining BIM content / family libraries. ISO 19650 awareness or certification. What Success Looks Like Clean, coordinated, standards-compliant rail models delivered to LOD 350 on schedule, with minimal unresolved clashes, reliable embedded data, and outputs that the wider project team and downstream stakeholders can use with confidence.
