BIM Design Engineer

The opportunity

The successful candidate will be part of an international Digital Engineering and Design team, supporting BIM-led design and immersive visualization (VR) for engineering projects at the Global Engineering Center in Vadodara, India, you’ll be part of a dynamic team that values innovation, diversity, and collaboration. The Transformers Business Unit is leading the way in energy transformation, delivering advanced solutions across a wide range of industries.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work alongside experts from diverse backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to building a sustainable future.

The role focuses on integrating design data, ensuring coordination across disciplines, and supporting digital engineering transformation through BIM methodologies.

How you’ll make an impact

  • The successful candidate will be part of an international Digital Engineering and Design team, supporting BIM-led design and immersive visualization (VR) for engineering projects.
  • Develop and maintain BIM models (LOD 200–LOD 350) for transformer / data center / infrastructure projects.
  • Convert engineering outputs (CAD / Creo / design tools) into data-rich BIM models (geometry + metadata).
  • Integrate BIM models with VR platforms (e.g., Unity / Unreal / immersive viewers) for visualization and validation.
  • Support VR-based design reviews, enabling immersive walkthroughs for:
  • Layout validation
  • Clearance and accessibility checks
