Job Summary

The BIM Modeler – Firefighting Systems will develop, maintain, and coordinate Building Information Models for firefighting and life-safety systems. The role involves producing accurate 3D models, detailed drawings, layouts, and installation documentation in accordance with project requirements, approved designs, NFPA/BS standards, and local authority regulations. The position works closely with design, engineering, estimation, procurement, and project teams to support coordinated and efficient project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

1. BIM Modelling & Documentation

• Create and update BIM models for firefighting systems including wet and dry risers, sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, deluge systems, foam systems, fire pumps, tanks, and associated pipework

• Develop detailed plans, sections, elevations, schematics, isometric drawings, and installation drawings from approved design information

• Model firefighting equipment, valves, fittings, supports, sleeves, and other system components accurately

• Prepare coordinated shop drawings, builders’ work drawings, and as-built documentation

• Maintain model accuracy, naming conventions, drawing standards, and project BIM requirements

2. Coordination & Clash Detection

• Coordinate firefighting models with architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other building services models

• Identify, review, and resolve clashes using BIM coordination software

• Participate in coordination meetings and provide technical input on constructability and installation requirements

• Review coordinated models and drawings before submission for design, consultant, or authority approval

• Raise technical queries and coordinate with engineers and project teams to resolve design discrepancies

3. Technical Compliance & Quality Control

• Ensure BIM models and drawings comply with approved specifications, project standards, NFPA, BS codes, and relevant local authority requirements

• Review design drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and material submittals before modelling

• Check dimensions, pipe sizes, elevations, flow directions, equipment locations, and system layouts for accuracy

• Support the preparation of material take-offs and quantity schedules from coordinated BIM models

• Maintain quality control records and incorporate review comments within agreed project timelines

4. Project Support & Collaboration

• Work closely with design engineers, project managers, site teams, estimators, procurement teams, and subcontractors

• Provide updated drawings and model information to support construction, fabrication, installation, and commissioning activities

• Assist site teams with technical clarification, installation details, and drawing revisions

• Support preparation of operation and maintenance drawings, record drawings, and handover documentation

• Maintain accurate records of model revisions, drawing submissions, approvals, and coordination comments

5. BIM Standards & Continuous Improvement

• Follow project BIM execution plans, information requirements, document control procedures, and common data environment protocols

• Maintain and develop firefighting families, templates, libraries, and modelling standards

• Contribute to BIM coordination reviews, lessons learned, and improvements to modelling workflows

• Keep up to date with BIM technology, firefighting design practices, software updates, and industry standards
