Main duties of the job

As an experienced CAD / BIM Technician, you will work as part of a specialist team delivering accurate and meaningful graphical information to the Estates, Facilities and Capital Development Department (EFCD) and wider UHS team (clinical & non-clinical), thereby ensuring patient and staff safety throughout the Hospital.

Our data sources are many and varied. From handwritten annotation to 3D BIM data delivered to recognised standards (PAS1192 and BS EN ISO19650), the role requires you to interrogate the data, seek clarification from our teams and deliver high quality results in a timely manner.

We use Autodesk products (AutoCAD and Revit in particular), Graphisoft ArchiCAD, MICAD, Planet and other facilities management/work management systems.

You will be expected to undertake regular mandatory training for your own safety, and that of our patients and staff. UHS is a teaching hospital which provides many opportunities for relevant personal development.
