What does the role involve?


  • You will assess availability of required information, the scope and required time to perform engineering services on request of the BIM Project Manager, then create the “design core & specifics” based on the customer requirements which serves as the BIM Design guideline for internal and external BIM Modelers.
  • Collaborating with the BIM Project Manager, you will join engineering meetings with all parties involved to coordinate an optimal firestop solution, and with our International BIM Lead Engineer on project execution, to ensure adherence to relevant Hilti / BIM standards in engineering.
  • You will be the Lead Application Engineer, completing applications based on Hilti Firestop approvals and test data and establishing excellent working relationships with BIM Lead Engineers and functional counterparts in other regions, whilst proactively involving BIM Lead Engineers of BIM Competence Centre for highly complex cases beyond current competence.
  • Serving as Hilti’s technical conscience on all projects, you will ensure accurate and thorough engineering documentation as per design guideline and create open working culture through the integration and motivation of others.
