Role Context
The BIM-CAD Technician will support the development of infrastructure dry utility designs from basic through moderately complex drafting and modelling assignments. The role focuses on electrical and communication infrastructure, including medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution, external lighting, telecom systems, security networks, pump stations, and utility interfaces associated with bridges and tunnels.
Working with CAD and BIM Managers, Design Leads, engineers, and other disciplines, the technician will convert engineering concepts and technical information into coordinated drawings and digital models. Accurate drafting, model coordination, and compliance with authority requirements will help reduce design conflicts and strengthen the quality of project submissions.
Key Responsibilities
* Prepare BIM models and CAD drawings for infrastructure dry utility systems.
* Develop drawings covering MV and LV power distribution networks, lighting systems, telecom infrastructure, and security networks.
* Support modelling and drafting requirements for pump stations, bridges, tunnels, and associated utility infrastructure.
* Work closely with CAD and BIM Managers and Design Leads to complete assigned deliverables according to project standards.
* Convert engineering sketches, calculations, layouts, and general design information into clear technical drawings.
* Develop arrangements, layouts, flow sheets, assemblies, isometrics, and component details as required.
* Use Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and MicroStation for design production and coordination.
* Review drawings for clarity, readability, technical presentation, and compliance with established drafting standards.
* Follow project QA-QC procedures before drawings and models progress to formal submission.
* Create parametric and non-parametric BIM families to support project modelling requirements.
* Coordinate model and drawing interfaces with civil, structural, mechanical, utilities, and other design disciplines.
* Identify coordination issues and communicate them promptly to Design Leads and engineering teams.
* Maintain consistency between drawings, models, design inputs, and revision information.
* Work within Common Data Environment workflows using Bentley ProjectWise and Autodesk Forma.
* Support controlled document exchange and model production in accordance with project information management procedures.
* Apply relevant local electricity and utility authority requirements where applicable.
* Incorporate DEWA, SEWA, Etihad WE, Dubai Municipality, and other applicable standards into design documentation.
* Maintain accurate records of drawing updates, model revisions, and design changes.
* Support timely completion of assigned deliverables across multiple infrastructure packages.
* Assist the wider project team with additional BIM and CAD responsibilities appropriate to the position.
Ideal Profile
Candidates should hold a three-year diploma, preferably with equivalency, or a four-year engineering degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
A minimum of five years of CAD drafting experience in infrastructure and dry utilities projects is required.
Relevant experience should include MV and LV power distribution, lighting, telecom, security networks, pump stations, bridges, tunnels, or similar infrastructure systems.
Practical proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and MicroStation is required.
Candidates should also be familiar with Common Data Environment workflows using Bentley ProjectWise and Autodesk Forma.
Knowledge of local authority requirements covering electricity and utility infrastructure is preferred, particularly DEWA, SEWA, Etihad WE, and Dubai Municipality standards.
Strong coordination skills are important because the role works across several engineering disciplines and requires accurate management of design interfaces.
Fluent English communication is required for coordination, technical discussion, and preparation of project documentation.
