• Capture and process indoor and outdoor laser scan data.
• Convert point-cloud data into accurate vector-based models.
• Create, maintain, and update BIM models.
• Produce high-quality rendered visualizations and presentations.
• Ensure proper georeferencing and spatial accuracy of digital models.
• Collaborate with technical experts and project stakeholders to deliver design solutions.
• Lead, mentor, and support a small team of CAD Draftsmen.
• Apply advanced CAD modelling techniques to meet project requirements.
• Support the continuous development of digital twin and 3D modelling capabilities.
  
  

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a similar 3D Modelling, BIM, or Digital Engineering role.
• Proven experience with 3D laser scanning, point-cloud data processing, and model development.
• Strong ability to translate concepts into detailed 3D mechanical and architectural designs.
• Experience producing photorealistic renderings.
• Proficiency with advanced CAD modelling tools and workflows.
• Good understanding of BIM principles and model management.
• Experience converting point-cloud data into vector-based models.
• Knowledge of georeferencing and spatial data integration.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD 3D, Fusion 360, SketchUp, Revit (or similar BIM platforms), and ArcGIS/QGIS.
