Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

As a BIM Apprentice, you will support the delivery and management of digital construction information across live projects while developing your technical knowledge and practical experience in Building Information Modelling (BIM). Working alongside BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers, design teams, and site teams, you will help ensure project information is produced, managed, and coordinated in line with company and industry standards.

Key duties and responsibilities will include:

  • Assisting with the creation, review, and management of digital models using various software, digital platforms and other enabling technologies.
  • Supporting BIM teams in carrying out model coordination and clash detection using Autodesk Navisworks and other coordination tools.
  • Managing and maintaining project information within the Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring documentation is stored, shared, and updated correctly.
  • Carrying out quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) checks on project information to ensure compliance with BIM standards, project requirements, and company procedures.
  • Assisting in the preparation and review of BIM documentation, including BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), project information requirements, and model management procedures.
  • Supporting the production and coordination of federated models by combining information from multiple disciplines.
  • Working closely with design teams, site teams, and external consultants to support collaboration and information exchange throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Attending project meetings and assisting with the communication of BIM related issues, updates, and actions.
  • Gaining site-based experience to understand how BIM information is applied in live construction environments, including sequencing, logistics, and construction methods.
  • Supporting the continuous improvement of digital processes through research into new technologies, automation, and innovation in BIM workflows.
  • Assisting with troubleshooting BIM-related issues and helping to maintain project documentation and compliance records.

Throughout the apprenticeship, these responsibilities will increase as skills and experience develop, progressing from supporting project teams to taking ownership of information management and coordination activities on live projects.
