We will be at the heart of this ground-breaking delivery model, shaping design excellence at scale and working with Scottish Water and our Enterprise Partners to help drive outcomes that deliver value for customers in Scotland and go beyond net zero. This is a major win for AECOM and a powerful endorsement of our expertise, giving us a fantastic opportunity to deliver long-term, meaningful work that has large scale impact for communities across Scotland. This position offers an unparalleled opportunity to support on this programme and work alongside a talented, diverse team committed to innovation and efficiency.

• Digital Delivery: Responsible for developing design outputs from initial concepts through to fully detailed design deliverables.  
• Utilise Digital Tools: Encourage the use of digital tools to review, influence, and enhance design quality processes. 
• Champion BIM: Promote, articulate, and lead BIM behaviours on the projects. 
• Coordinate Project Deliverables: Support coordination of deliverables for multiple projects, ensuring completion within budget. Provide support and management of project resources to facilitate production of deliverables. 
• Team Relationship: Be proactive in relationships with internal project stakeholders, reporting progress or highlighting any technical issues for timely resolution.
• Maintain Standards: Support the CAD Lead in maintaining CAD standards, best practices, and processes for modelling, content creation, and advanced digital developments. 
• Design Team Meetings: Actively participate and input to design team meetings, bringing with you a digital by default mindset, championing the use of 3D model reviews and markups. 
• Mentor Junior Technicians: Work across the Scotland offices supporting junior Revit Technicians, from a technical perspective.
