Structural BIM Technician / Modeller (Building Structures)

About Us

At HDR, we specialise in engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services. Our global team of more than 15,000 employees is united by our values and strengthened by our employee-owned culture. We collaborate across disciplines, leverage global expertise, and empower our people to create solutions that make a lasting impact.

The Role

We're seeking a Structural BIM Technician / Modeller to join our National Building Structures Team and work on a diverse portfolio of projects, with a focus on major data centre and mission critical projects.

Based in Melbourne, this is an opportunity for a BIM professional who enjoys developing high-quality structural models, producing detailed construction documentation and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex and technically challenging building projects.

If you're passionate about digital delivery, BIM innovation and technical excellence, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a key member of our Structural team, you will:

• Develop and maintain structural Revit models and construction documentation for a variety of building projects.
• Produce accurate drawings and BIM deliverables in accordance with project requirements and HDR standards.
• Coordinate structural models with architectural, building services and multidisciplinary project teams.
• Participate in clash detection, model reviews and coordination workshops to support efficient project delivery.

• Contribute to quality assurance processes and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Work closely with engineers, BIM specialists and project teams to deliver coordinated and high-quality project outcomes.

What Makes This Role Different?

You'll have the opportunity to work on some of Australia's most significant data centre and mission critical projects, developing complex structural models and contributing to the successful delivery of technically demanding developments.

You'll be supported by HDR's multidisciplinary design teams and global technical network while continuing to develop your BIM, coordination and digital engineering capabilities within a collaborative and highly experienced environment.

• A collaborative team player who enjoys working across disciplines.
• Proactive in identifying and resolving coordination challenges.
• A strong communicator who can build effective relationships with colleagues and project stakeholders.
• Curious and motivated to continuously develop their technical and digital delivery skills.

Ideally, You'll Have

• 4-8 years' experience as a Structural BIM Technician, Structural BIM Modeller or in a similar role.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit for structural modelling and documentation.
• Experience producing high-quality construction documentation for building projects.
• A solid understanding of structural engineering principles and detailing requirements.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary design and delivery teams.
• Strong communication, coordination and organisational skills.
• Experience using Navisworks or similar coordination software.
• Exposure to Autodesk Forma, Common Data Environments or other digital delivery platforms.
• Experience working on commercial, industrial, health, education, mission critical or data centre projects.
