Structural CAD / Revit Technician

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious BIM Technician to join WYG’s extremely successful and versatile Engineering team. Based in our Bristol office, this is an opportunity to become part of the established and growing Structural Engineering team working on varied, interesting and sometimes different commissions.

Your role 

Reporting to BIM team leader, your role will require you to produce building information modelling (BIM) deliverables across a wide range of projects throughout the Southern region and further afield as part of national delivery teams.

Although not immediately you will be expected to supervise apprentices when appointed, while they are learning.

You will be involved with both new build and refurbishment projects working from the early planning stages right through to the end of the delivery phase. Our Structural Engineering team deliver projects using the latest design software and we integrate this with Revit as much as possible. As well as preparation of drawings we may require you to complete reinforcement detailing. Due to the nature of our work in the defence and government sectors, you will be required to hold, or achieve, a level of security clearance which the company will facilitate.
