Drafting and BIM Lead

About the Company

We are a specialist consultancy in the marine and coastal engineering sector, delivering projects such as coastal protection works, waterfront developments, reclamation, ports, and nearshore infrastructure. As our portfolio grows in Singapore and the region, we are looking for a dedicated Drafting & BIM Lead to strengthen our digital engineering and design production capabilities.

This role is an excellent opportunity for candidates from civil, structural, infrastructure, or building sectors who wish to transition into the fast-growing marine and coastal discipline and broaden their technical horizons.

Role Overview

The Drafting & BIM Lead will guide and coordinate a team of drafters and BIM modellers, ensuring the delivery of accurate, high-quality drawings and models across multiple projects. You will work closely with engineering design teams to translate design concepts into precise drafting deliverables.

This is an office-based leadership role in Singapore, suitable for someone seeking both team management responsibilities and technical influence. Candidates with strong drafting/BIM backgrounds from non-marine sectors but with solid Singapore project experience are highly encouraged to apply.
