• Create and maintain 2D symbolic content, nested content, clearance zones, maintenance zones, mounting options, and rotation functionality where applicable.
• Flex and test families across sensible dimensional ranges to confirm that geometry, constraints, and formulas remain stable.
• Load families into test projects and check graphical behaviour, scheduling, tagging, parameter values, performance, and compatibility with Arup project templates.
• Maintain clear working files and supporting information so that content can be reviewed, audited, and reused by the wider Global team.

• Basic understanding of BIM content standards, model performance, and quality-control principles.
• Ability to create accurate geometry and symbolic representation appropriate to various levels of detail.
• Organised and detail-oriented approach, with the discipline to follow standards and repeatable checking procedures.
• Problem-solving skills and willingness to investigate, test and correct family behaviour.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English for collaboration with international team members and interpretation of technical documentation.
