Task Team Senior Mechanical

Task Team Senior Mechanical

Location: India, Bangalore

Business Unit: Buildings

Reports to: BIM Manager

Arup is seeking an experienced Task Team Senior Mechanical to join our growing team in Bangalore, India. This candidate will be responsible for leading the design development, coordination, and management of mechanical design models across all project stages. This role ensures mechanical systems are accurately modelled, coordinated with other disciplines, and compliant with client and project standards. This person works closely with mechanical engineers, BIM Managers, architects, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality and data-rich models to support design delivery.

The ideal candidate would be a design-led, three-dimensional thinker who places creativity and spatial problem-solving at the heart of their approach - with BIM capability as a supporting skill, not the driver.

This individual must be able to interpret and draw information into the model in a technically sound, engineering-led manner, using the model as both a design coordination tool and a powerful medium of communication.

The ideal candidate will serve as a design integrator - someone who can think in 3D, proactively identify and resolve technical coordination challenges, and lead strategic planning discussions before modelling begins. They will be instrumental in bringing engineers together to define strategies, establish design intent, and enable seamless coordination across disciplines, ensuring that modelling is efficient, integrated, and robust from the outset.

Key Responsibilities

As a Task Team Senior Mechanical at Arup, you will be responsible for:

• Ensure the mechanical design model is fully coordinated with other services, with respect to clearance, access, maintenance, and constructability considerations.

• Review the mechanical models, including cooling, ventilation systems etc.

• Responsible for 3D coordination of mechanical services with other disciplines through Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Navisworks and Autodesk Construction Cloud, ensuring fully integrated design solutions.

• Collaborate closely with mechanical design engineers to ensure integrated design solutions are developed from the conceptual stage through to detailed design stage.

• Represent the client and other stakeholders in coordination meetings, presenting and defending the mechanical design coordination.

• Ensure the highest quality for the mechanical design model submissions in accordance with Project standards, client requirements, and the BIM execution plan

• Perform Quality Assurance and Control checks on models within geometrical and parametric compliance with the Project's BIM requirements

• Prepare discipline model and/or content for internal reviews and coordination meetings

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum Bachelors Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

• Extensive experience in mechanical design across various project types.Proven expertise in spatial coordination within mechanical design, with a strong track record of delivering high-quality, efficient, and compliant solutions.

• Knowledge of British Standards, ASHRAE, CIBSE, NFPA, SMACNA, UAE & KSA codes and local regulations.

• Minimum of 5+ years of design coordination experience in mechanical design. (preferably experienced in project delivery in the Middle East)

• Experience working in a design consultancy with a proven track record in delivering projects in collaboration with remote design centres.

• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks Manage, and BIM 360 / ACC. (preferably certified as Autodesk Certified Professional)

• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering systems and terminology.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

Desirable Skills

• Experience using automation tools like Dynamo, Python, or C# for repetitive BIM tasks and model validation.

• Interest in digital innovation, AI applications in AEC, and future-focused workflows.

• Experience in using Power BI or similar tools to monitor BIM implementation performance.
