Job Description

Senior BIM Designer – Rail (Civil 3D Rail, Track Linear Modelling) is a senior-level BIM modelling position based in Bengaluru. The role leads the development, management, and coordination of 2D and 3D linear models for Rail Track infrastructure, covering track assemblies within multidisciplinary engineering environments.

The position supports Rail projects through alignment- and corridor-driven Civil 3D modelling, design coordination, construction documentation, and digital engineering workflows. Responsibilities span Ballasted and Ballastless Trackform modelling, track corridors and assembly-based 3D models, trackform grading, drainage interfaces with trackwork and platforms, and construction-phase support, delivered through cloud-based model management and multidisciplinary coordination.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and technical review of Civil 3D models for Rail Track infrastructure, including Ballasted and Ballastless Trackforms, trackwork detailing, and Rail systems modelling.
• Own the delivery of Railway engineering models, including alignments, profiles, corridors, Trackforms, grading plans, and surface models, ensuring accuracy and quality.
• Define and govern data shortcuts, drawing references, and model-sharing workflows within Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Desktop Connector environments.
• Lead BIM coordination with civil engineering, roadway engineering, drainage, architecture, and utility design teams to deliver integrated Railway design.
• Oversee and quality-check plan, profile, cross-section, and construction documentation packages for regulatory submissions and project delivery.
• Establish and maintain project BIM standards, including object styles, label styles, pipe network standards, part lists, and sheet set management processes.
• Lead clash detection reviews and multidisciplinary coordination involving utilities, drainage systems, pavements, foundations, subgrade conditions, and electrical duct banks, driving issues to resolution.
• Ensure model compliance with municipal standards, provincial requirements, OPSD standards, Transport Canada criteria, and ICAO Annex 14 requirements, and support regulatory submissions and authority reviews.
• Safeguard model integrity throughout design development, construction phasing, as-built documentation, and project turnover activities.
• Drive BIM workflow improvements, automation initiatives, and digital delivery enhancements to improve modelling efficiency and consistency, and mentor junior designers in best practice.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geomatics, or a related discipline (a Diploma with equivalent senior-level experience will be considered).
• Minimum 10 years of experience in civil infrastructure BIM modelling, with a proven record of leading Railway projects.
• Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD, with advanced command of Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Desktop Connector, and Bluebeam Revu.
• Proven track record leading the development of models for Railway Systems, Ballastless Trackforms, and Cable Containment, including multidisciplinary clash resolution.
• In-depth knowledge of ISO 19650, with experience applying its requirements on live projects.
• Demonstrated leadership of model coordination, documentation control, and version management practices.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to lead coordination across multidisciplinary teams and clients.
• Ability to prioritise multiple workstreams and guide junior team members in deadline-driven project environments.

Desirable

• Experience with Civil 3D, Revit, Dynamo for Civil 3D/ Revit, Navisworks Manage, InfraWorks.
• Python scripting and workflow automation experience is a plus.
• Exposure to transportation, or major infrastructure upgrade projects.
• Experience supporting digital engineering and BIM execution planning initiatives.
