Senior Technical Lead BIM - Structural - High-Rise

We invite you to bring your passion, curiosity, positive energy, and technical expertise to develop sustainable solutions for industry projects worldwide. To succeed in this role, you must possess a strong technical background in industry engineering (Process, Chemical, Petrochemical, etc.), extensive experience as a Piping and Layout specialist, and the ability to lead project teams across offices and geographies within the Plant Design discipline.

You will join our High-Rise Buildings Department

As our new Senior Technical Lead BIM - High Rise Structure, you will be part of our global High-Rise department, a dedicated team of high-rise experts that has designed over 150 tall building projects globally, including some of the most technically challenging. You would be responsible for coordinating with project managers and/or engineers for analysis and design work in the High-Rise department in Chennai to support the global department, which also has offices in Copenhagen, UK, Middle East, and Singapore.

The BIM Lead owns day-to-day resourcing and quality performance of the BIM function. The role gives the BIM function a single point of accountability for resource allocation, output quality, and staff development.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Allocate BIM staff across active projects in line with project delivery plans and the department's resourcing methodology.
• Identify resourcing gaps or conflicts early and raise them to the Head of Department and the relevant Project Lead before they affect delivery, in line with the Project Delivery and Governance Guideline.
• Own overall BIM output quality and drawing presentation standards.
• Set and monitor productivity and quality standards for the BIM team, distinct from the project-level quality checks performed by the BIM Quality Lead and Senior BIM Coordinator(s).
• Escalate any resourcing decision beyond the department's established methodology, and any matter that cannot be resolved through coordination with the Quality function or the relevant Project Lead, to the Head of Department.
• Maintain visibility of BIM team capacity and utilisation.

Secondary Responsibilities:

• Design and deliver a structured training scheme for the BIM team, covering software proficiency, modelling standards, and productivity.
• Assign team members to the training scheme and track completion and resulting quality/productivity improvement.
• Identify individual skill gaps and provide or arrange targeted training as needed.
• Coordinate with Project Leads and Project BIM Leads on project-specific BIM resourcing and delivery needs.
• Report resourcing status, training progress, and quality trends to the Head of Department on a regular basis.

Ideal Character Type:

• Hands-on and detail-focused: comfortable reviewing models and drawings directly, not managing purely at a distance.
• Owns resourcing and quality outcomes; escalates early rather than explaining late.
• Calm and structured under multiple concurrent project deadlines.
• Coaching mindset: builds capability in the team through training rather than working around gaps.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Degree or diploma in a relevant BIM, architectural technology, or engineering discipline.
• Minimum 25 years of relevant BIM experience, including substantial experience in a managerial or lead capacity with direct responsibility for team and resource management, ideally within a multi-disciplinary structural or MEP design environment.
• Proven track record with top-tier engineering consultancies in the region.
• Relevant professional accreditations required.
• Demonstrated experience designing or delivering structured training programmes for technical teams.
• Strong working knowledge of BIM standards, modelling software (e.g. Revit), and quality/productivity benchmarking.
