BIM Engineer

Overview

BIM Engineer — Data Centre Projects
Milan, Italy

Not your typical ad. This role places BIM at the center of a Data Centre project, and you will be involved on site, in the federated model, in coordination meetings, and in ensuring clashes are managed effectively.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Producing high-quality 3D models that meet the project 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).
• 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.

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.”
