BIM Design Manager

Job Description

Job title: BIM Design Manager

Company: Arup

Job description: Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

For over two decades, BIM has enabled built environment industry professionals to share information in a single, shared project-based set of objects and systems. It helps clients to understand design and engineering choices visually. It allows the creative team to test options on the layout of critical services virtually. And it outputs vital documentation and enables greater collaboration.

At Arup, we’ve been pushing BIM’s capabilities, finding ways to amplify these effects and realise its potential and value on all our projects and developing automatic creation of content from data that enables us to respond directly to client needs.
