BIM & Autodesk Automation Developer - Riyadh,KSA

Role Summary

We are seeking a skilled BIM & Autodesk Automation Developer to join our Technical Office. The successful candidate will design, develop, and maintain custom tools and workflows that automate and accelerate core engineering processes including quantity take-offs, BOQ generation, timeline building, and shop drawing production — all within our Revit and AutoCAD environment.

This role is pivotal in our company's AI and digital transformation strategy. You will work directly with engineers and project managers to translate manual workflows into efficient, automated processes that reduce cost and improve delivery time.

Key Responsibilities

1. Quantity Take-Off (QTO) Automation

• Export QTO data directly to Excel or BOQ templates with zero manual intervention

2. BOQ Generation

• Automate the generation of Bills of Quantities from Revit model elements and AutoCAD drawing layers

• Map model elements to specification codes and cost categories automatically

• Format outputs to company and FIDIC standards

3. Timeline & Schedule Automation

• Extract Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) from Revit model phases and AutoCAD drawing sets

• Integrate model data with scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project) via API or structured data export

• Build dashboards that reflect live project schedule status from BIM data

4. Shop Drawing Production

• Automate shop drawing generation at various levels of detail (LOD) directly from Revit models

• Build tools for automatic title block population, drawing numbering, and revision management

• Develop clash detection workflows using Navisworks API or equivalent

• Automate compliance checks against project specifications

5. Integration & Connectivity

• Connect Revit/AutoCAD outputs to Excel, Power BI, ERP, or project management platforms

• Build data pipelines between technical office tools using APIs or middleware (Zapier, custom scripts)

• Document all tools, scripts, and workflows for team use and onboarding
