Join the dynamic technical team of a leading Saudi contractor focused on high-quality, large-scale residential projects in Saudi Arabia, operating from the company’s Egypt-based back office.
The Senior BIM 4D/5D Engineer will be responsible for developing, managing, and coordinating 4D and 5D BIM activities, integrating project models with construction schedules, quantities, cost data, and project controls. The role will work closely with project teams, planners, quantity surveyors, commercial teams, consultants, and Saudi-based site/technical teams to improve construction planning, sequencing, cost visibility, and project delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
Key Accountabilities
The position involves:
- Lead and manage 4D/5D BIM activities across multiple large-scale projects.
- Develop and maintain 4D BIM models by integrating BIM models with project schedules and construction activities.
- Link model elements with construction schedules, WBS, activities, and milestones to support project planning and sequencing.
- Develop and manage 5D BIM workflows integrating quantities, BOQs, cost data, and model information.
- Coordinate with planning, project controls, commercial, procurement, engineering, and construction teams to ensure accurate BIM-based project information.
- Review BIM models and ensure model data is suitable for quantity take-off, cost estimation, scheduling, and project controls.
- Support construction sequencing, 4D simulations, visual planning, and progress monitoring to identify potential delays, sequencing issues, and construction risks.
- Perform model-based quantity extraction and validation, ensuring alignment between BIM quantities, BOQs, and project requirements.
- Support cost planning, budget monitoring, variation assessment, and 5D cost management using BIM-based information.
- Identify and resolve model, schedule, quantity, and cost-related discrepancies through coordination with relevant stakeholders.
- Coordinate BIM models with architectural, structural, MEP, infrastructure, and other multidisciplinary models to support integrated project planning.
- Monitor BIM deliverables and ensure models, schedules, quantities, cost information, and coordination outputs are delivered according to project requirements and timelines.
- Participate in BIM coordination meetings, planning workshops, constructability reviews, and progress meetings.
- Support value engineering and constructability reviews by analyzing project quantities, sequencing, and cost implications.
- Develop BIM-based dashboards, reports, simulations, and visualizations to support project management and decision-making.
- Coordinate with Saudi-based project and site teams to incorporate actual progress, construction updates, and site information into 4D/5D BIM workflows.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to BIM engineers/modelers involved in 4D/5D activities.
- Ensure proper documentation, version control, and management of BIM, schedule, quantity, and cost-related information.
- Ensure effective communication and coordination between the Egypt back office and project teams in Saudi Arabia.
Knowledge, Skills, and Experience
We are Looking for:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field.
- Minimum 8–12 years of experience in BIM, with strong experience in 4D/5D BIM, BIM coordination, project controls, planning, quantity surveying, or construction management.
- Strong hands-on experience in 4D BIM and construction schedule integration.
- Strong experience in 5D BIM, quantity take-off, cost integration, BOQ, and model-based cost management.
- Previous experience in residential, mixed-use, hospitality, infrastructure, or large-scale construction projects is highly preferred.
- Strong understanding of construction planning, scheduling, WBS, project sequencing, progress monitoring, and project controls.
- Experience integrating BIM models with Primavera P6, MS Project, or other construction planning/scheduling tools.
- Proficiency in relevant BIM and 4D/5D tools such as Navisworks Manage, Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, Synchro, CostX, or equivalent platforms.
- Strong understanding of BIM standards, workflows, LOD requirements, model data, quantity extraction, and 4D/5D deliverables.
- Experience with clash detection, multidisciplinary coordination, model review, and constructability analysis.
- Good understanding of BOQ, quantity measurement, cost control, variations, and commercial project requirements.
- Ability to analyze BIM, schedule, quantity, and cost data and translate it into actionable project insights.
- Strong leadership, analytical, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
- Ability to manage multiple projects, models, schedules, and deliverables in a fast-paced back-office environment.
- Ability to work effectively with Saudi-based project, planning, commercial, and site teams while operating from Egypt.
