BIM Manager – Civil 3D (Infrastructure)

Job Title: BIM Manager – Civil 3D (Infrastructure) Location: Dubai (Airport Infrastructure Project) Employment Type: Full-time, long-term project assignment Role overview We are seeking an experienced BIM Manager with strong Autodesk Civil 3D expertise to lead BIM delivery for a major airport infrastructure project, with a primary focus on grading, roads and associated civil works (no building scope at this stage). The role is central to establishing, implementing and managing BIM processes for a new design-and-build contract, in close coordination with the main contractor and end client. Key responsibilities Lead and manage the BIM scope for airport-related civil infrastructure (grading, roads, utilities and associated works) using Civil 3D as the core platform. Develop, implement and maintain the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), standards and workflows for the project, ensuring alignment with client requirements and internal procedures. Set up, coordinate and maintain Civil 3D models (surfaces, corridors, profiles, grading, road alignments, utilities) to the required LOD and data quality. Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (designers, engineers, project managers, contractors, client representatives) to ensure timely and accurate model updates and information flow. Oversee clash detection, model coordination and issue resolution for civil infrastructure elements, working closely with design and site teams. Ensure that shop drawings and as-built drawings are generated from coordinated BIM models in line with project standards. Support project planning, phasing and constructability reviews through model-based coordination and reporting as required. Provide guidance, mentoring and technical support to BIM/CAD staff working on the project’s infrastructure scope. Prepare and participate in client and stakeholder reviews, including technical presentations and model walk-throughs where needed. Requirements Candidate profile Experience & technical skills Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in civil/infrastructure design and BIM, including substantial hands-on experience with Autodesk Civil 3D. Proven track record as a BIM Manager or senior BIM lead on large infrastructure projects (e.g. highways, major roads, platforms, airside/landsides, utilities). Deep understanding of Civil 3D workflows for grading, roads and civil infrastructure (surfaces, corridors, earthworks, profiles, alignment design, utilities). Strong knowledge of BIM standards, execution planning, LOD requirements and model coordination processes. Familiarity with industry-standard collaboration and coordination tools (e.g. Navisworks, CDE platforms) is an advantage. Airport project experience is a plus but not mandatory. Education Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline is preferred. Personal attributes Demonstrable passion for infrastructure and BIM, with a strong desire to deliver high-quality, coordinated digital outputs. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to represent the BIM function confidently in client interviews and technical discussions. Collaborative mindset, able to work closely with multidisciplinary teams and manage competing priorities. Long-term orientation and commitment to seeing major projects through their full lifecycle. Additional information This is a long-term role aligned with a multi-year airport infrastructure programme. Final selection will be subject to a rigorous client interview and technical evaluation.
