Work Experience

  • BIM ManagerFull Time

    CD+M Lighting Design Group

    Mar 2023 - Present -2 yrs, 5 months

    Egypt , Cairo

    • Job Details:As a BIM Manager, I lead the implementation of BIM processes across the organization, including the development of the company’s BIM manual, modeling guidelines, and training strategies. I manage the preparation and maintenance of key project documents such as BEPs, MIDPs, and TIDPs, ensuring alignment with client requirements (EIRs and OIRs). I conduct quality assurance through model checks using Navisworks and other validation tools, participate in coordination meetings, and provide technical guidance. In addition to managing BIM workflows, I specialize in lighting design using Revit, producing detailed layouts, fixture schedules, and technical documentation. I collaborate closely with architects and engineers to ensure project accuracy. I also develop automation scripts using Dynamo and Grasshopper, create complex lighting fixture families, and integrate COBie data and classifications. I oversee BIM team assignments, resolve issues through ACC, and perform lighting simulations using Dialux evo and AGI32.
  • VDC/BIM CoordinatorFull Time

    Construction and Planning (C&P)

    Jan 2023 - Mar 2024 -1 yr, 2 months

    Egypt , Cairo

    • Job Details:As a BIM Manager with a strong electrical engineering background, I drive BIM implementation across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring seamless integration of digital workflows into design and construction processes. I lead the development of organizational BIM standards, templates, and custom Revit families, while also conducting hands-on training in Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to upskill internal teams. My role includes spearheading BIM automation through Dynamo scripts to enhance efficiency and reduce manual tasks. I actively manage model coordination, clash detection, and 4D/5D simulations, aligning design intent with construction planning and cost controls. I play a pivotal role in MEP coordination across projects, leveraging advanced BIM tools to ensure accuracy and integration. With a solid foundation in electrical design, I deliver complete solutions for lighting, power distribution, and low-current systems. This includes performing load estimations, breaker and cable sizing, and equipment selection using tools like ETAP, while preparing detailed SLDs and panel schedules. I specialize in lighting and lighting control systems and conduct value engineering studies to optimize designs. I ensure compliance with client requirements and industry codes, participate in design-build projects across various scopes, and maintain a proactive role in technical communication by raising RFIs and resolving design issues in collaboration with project stakeholders.
  • BIM CoordinatorFull Time

    Mobco Group

    Mar 2020 - Jan 2023 -2 yrs, 10 months

    Egypt , Cairo

    • Job Details:As a BIM Coordinator, I manage the development and coordination of MEP systems within BIM environments, ensuring accurate, clash-free, and fully coordinated models. I support BIM implementation by preparing BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), Master and Task Information Delivery Plans (MIDP/TIDP), and maintaining organizational standards through BIM manuals and Revit templates. I lead MEP modeling efforts across lighting, power, cable trays, HVAC, plumbing, and fire-fighting systems, and create custom Revit families to support project needs. I facilitate coordination between disciplines using Revit interference checks and Navisworks clash detection, driving the resolution process to achieve zero-clash models. My role includes performing electrical and low-current system design reviews, infrastructure sizing calculations, and creating shop drawings for both electrical and ELV systems. I also utilize Civil 3D for dry utility coordination (LV, MV, street lighting, telecom) and extract accurate quantities (BOQs) from BIM models using Revit. I issue and track RFIs, perform model quality checks, and collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and consultants to ensure that models meet project requirements and client expectations.
  • BIM SpecialistFull Time

    Tea-Serv for Engineering Services

    Dec 2019 - Mar 2020 -3 months

    Egypt , Cairo

    • Job Details:As a BIM Specialist, I support the successful delivery of coordinated, data-rich BIM models across MEP disciplines, aligning with ISO 19650 standards and client requirements. I participate in the development of BIM Execution Plans (BEP/BXP), Master Information Delivery Plans (MIDP), and Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDP), while also contributing to the creation of Revit templates and electrical families. My core responsibilities include modeling complete MEP systems—lighting, power, cable trays, HVAC, plumbing, fire fighting, and low current systems (BMS, parking, BGM)—ensuring high accuracy and full multidisciplinary coordination. I conduct interference checks in Revit, resolve clashes, and collaborate with architects and structural teams to integrate builder works seamlessly. I create shop drawings and detailed electrical designs, perform lighting and electrical calculations (VD & SC) using ETAP and Ecodial, and manage updates from as-built site data. I leverage Dynamo and Revit plugins to automate tasks and enhance model efficiency, and use Revizto for issue tracking and improved coordination workflows. Additionally, I extract accurate Bill of Quantities (BOQ) directly from BIM models, supporting cost planning and procurement with precise, model-based data.
