BIM CAD Modeler Roads And Highways

Description

Zutari is a multinational buildings, infrastructure engineering and advisory firm with over 90 years of experience across Africa and the Middle East. We partner with clients across the full infrastructure lifecycle, delivering digitally driven solutions that shape schools, stadiums, dams, bridges, and the systems that connect them.

We are enablers of progress, transforming ambition into impact and infrastructure into opportunity. Every role in Zutari contributes to building sustainable futures that extend far beyond the projects themselves.

About The Role

Zutari is seeking a CAD/BIM Modeler: Roads & Highways to support the delivery of road, highway, and civil infrastructure projects in the UAE. The role will focus on the development, coordination, and production of high-quality 2D drawings and 3D CAD/BIM models for road corridors and associated civil infrastructure.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineers, designers, and multidisciplinary project teams to produce coordinated models and drawing packages across the project lifecycle, from concept and preliminary design through to detailed design, authority submissions, tender, and IFC documentation.

Responsibilities:

CAD and BIM Production

• Prepare and develop 2D drawings and 3D BIM/CAD models for roads, highways, and associated civil infrastructure projects.
• Produce general arrangement drawings, horizontal and vertical alignments, long sections, cross-sections, typical sections, grading layouts, junction layouts, and detailed design drawings.
• Support the preparation of concept, preliminary, detailed design, tender, authority submission, and IFC deliverables.
• Extract drawings, schedules, and model outputs from coordinated digital models in accordance with project requirements.
  
  
  

• Develop models and drawings for urban roads, highways, interchanges, junction improvements, service roads, access roads, and complete street corridors.
• Prepare road alignments, profiles, assemblies, corridors, surfaces, and grading models using appropriate CAD/BIM tools.
• Support the modelling of pavement layers, kerb lines, road markings, signage layouts, verge elements, and roadside features where required.
• Assist in the development of earthworks models, cut-and-fill interfaces, and surface coordination for road infrastructure.
• Produce design documentation related to carriageways, roundabouts, intersections, slip roads, median arrangements, footpaths, cycle tracks, and at-grade infrastructure elements.
  
  
  

• Use AutoCAD and Civil 3D to develop road models integrated with corridor geometry, grading, surfaces, and utility interfaces.
• Assist with corridor creation, assembly application, target mapping, section generation, and model-based drawing extraction.
• Produce and update cross-sections, volume calculations, levels, and earthworks-related outputs.
• Support quantity-related outputs and material take-offs where required for road and civil works packages.
  
  
  

• Coordinate with utilities, drainage, structures, transport planning, landscape, and other disciplines to resolve interface issues and clashes.
• Participate in model reviews and clash detection using Navisworks and other coordination tools.
• Maintain model integrity, drawing accuracy, and compliance with project BIM execution plans and delivery standards.
• Incorporate design changes and mark-ups from engineers and project leaders in a timely and accurate manner.
  
  
  

• Apply project and company CAD/BIM standards, naming conventions, templates, layering protocols, and LOD requirements.
• Ensure deliverables are produced in line with client requirements, UAE authority standards, and project-specific drafting conventions.
• Support QA/QC reviews and implement review comments efficiently and accurately.
• Maintain consistency across drawing sets, model files, sheet outputs, and revision control processes.
  
  
  

• Work to agreed programmes, design milestones, and deliverables schedules.
• Collaborate effectively within a fast-paced engineering and digital delivery environment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in digital delivery workflows, modelling efficiency, and coordination practices.
• Support teams during design development, submission stages, and final IFC production.
• Candidate Profile
• We are looking for an individual with strong practical experience in infrastructure CAD/BIM delivery, particularly in roads and highways projects within the UAE or wider GCC.
  
  
  

• Proven experience in CAD/BIM modelling for roads, highways, and civil infrastructure projects.
• Strong experience in AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D.
• Experience developing road corridors, alignments, profiles, cross-sections, surfaces, and grading models.
• Experience preparing design documentation across multiple project stages, from concept through detailed design and IFC.
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams in a consultancy or contractor environment.
• Familiarity with UAE or GCC road design standards, authority submission requirements, and infrastructure delivery environments.
• Experience on projects in Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi.
• Experience supporting major roads, highways, interchanges, junction upgrades, and urban infrastructure corridors.
• Exposure to coordination with utilities, drainage, structures, and traffic/transport disciplines.
• Experience using Navisworks, Revit, and/or InfraWorks.
• Experience working within Common Data Environments such as ACC/BIM 360 or ProjectWise.
• Experience supporting authority submissions and IFC-stage deliverables in the UAE.
  
  
  

• Minimum
• Diploma or certificate in Civil Engineering, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Preferred
• Additional BIM/CAD certification or Autodesk software training.
• Relevant technical diploma with a focus on roads, highways, or civil infrastructure drafting/modelling.
