We work with developers, project managers and property investors across the UK on schemes that require careful strategy, well-argued design and a considered approach to planning risk. Every proposed scheme begins with an accurate model of the existing property, which is the foundation this role provides. The role We are seeking an experienced Revit Technician to produce clean, accurate as-built Revit models from point-cloud scans of residential and small commercial buildings. The models produced in this role form the basis on which our architect develops each proposed scheme, meaning accuracy, consistency and turnaround have direct influence on project outcomes. The role is hands-on and modelling-focused, suited to a candidate who takes pride in producing precise, dimensionally reliable work at pace. You will work closely with our architect within a small team, where the contribution of each model to the wider project is clearly visible. What you’ll be doing • Registering and cleaning raw scan data (Autodesk ReCap, Leica Cyclone or similar) ready for modelling, • Converting point clouds of residential and small commercial buildings into accurate as-built Revit models, typically to LOD 200–300, • Building and editing Revit families to capture the character and detail of period and domestic properties (bays, dormers, mouldings, chimneys, etc.), • Producing clean 2D outputs from the model — plans, elevations and sections — that our architect can work straight from, • Working to survey tolerances so models are dimensionally reliable, • Maintaining consistent standards and dependable turnaround across multiple jobs, • Liaising with the architect and wider team to ensure models capture what is required Software and technical skills Essential • Autodesk Revit — strong, day-to-day proficiency, including creating and editing families, • Confident working from point cloud data and tracing it accurately into Revit geometry, • Autodesk ReCap (or Leica Cyclone / equivalent) for registering and preparing scan data, • Producing 2D drawings and sheets (plans, elevations, sections) from a Revit model, • Solid understanding of Level of Detail (LOD 200–300) and working to survey accuracy / tolerances, • Good BIM/CAD file hygiene — sensible naming, worksets, and use of templates Desirable • AutoCAD for DWG import/export and 2D tidy-up, • SketchUp, • Any experience producing presentation visuals — e.g. Revit’s rendering, Enscape, Twinmotion or Lumion — is a bonus, though the core of this role is accurate as-built modelling rather than design visualisation, • Any survey or laser-scanning experience (not essential — you will mostly work from existing point clouds) What we’re looking for • At least 6 months’ hands-on experience in point-cloud-to-Revit work, • Fast and accurate, with the ability to produce clean as-built models efficiently, • Confident registering and processing raw scan data independently, • Methodical, with a strong eye for detail and organised working practices, • Experience with residential/domestic buildings is a real plus, • Communicative, reliable, and easy to work with, • Eligible to work in the UK Details • Location: on-site at our office in Stoke Newington, London (N16). This is an in-office role so you can work closely with the team. Occasional remote working is available when needed., • Hours: 30–40 hours per week, permanent, • Salary: £30,000–£36,000 per year, depending on experience Our recruitment process Our process is designed to be transparent, straightforward and practical: 1. Share your CV and a few examples of point-cloud-to-Revit work (or a portfolio link)., 2. CV review — we will review your CV and experience, and get in touch if it looks like a good fit., 3. Short introductory call — approximately 20 minutes to discuss the role and get to know each other., 4. Practical task — if we are both happy after the call, we will send a sample point cloud similar to those you would work on in the role. Convert it to Revit as accurately as possible, with particular attention to the exterior, and screen-record the process (Loom, OBS or equivalent). Return the model and recording via Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or any equivalent file-sharing tool. We review applications as they come in, so early applicants are encouraged. About the practical task The task mirrors the real work and is an opportunity to demonstrate your workflow, accuracy and speed. We are looking for the candidate who produces the most accurate model in the least time, with the fewest mistakes. The screen recording allows us to see your process, not just the finished result.v

What you will bring ▪ 10+ years of ERP testing leadership in large, global, multi-region programmes (ideally D365 F&O), with strong command of SAT, SIT, UAT, OAT and Regression cycles. ▪ Extensive experience overseeing testing in highly integrated environments and driving risk management, dependency control, and issue resolution. ▪ A strong automation background, with hands-on experience using Lidana (or similar test scripting tools) and Tosca (or equivalent test execution tools) to accelerate test preparation, expand automation coverage, and validate Platform Updates. ▪ Demonstrated ability to embed automated tests into CI/CD, scale automation release-over- release, and foster an efficiency-focused testing culture. ▪ Strong communication, stakeholder management, and organisational skills, able to lead multiple testing cycles in fast-paced global environments. ▪ A continuous-improvement and analytical mindset, with focus on AI adoption, automation expansion, and quality-driven delivery. ▪ Professional certifications such as Prince2 Practitioner or PMP, with fluency in English (French is an advantage).
