Role: CAD/BIM Technician
Contract Type: Full-time, Permanent
Location: London, Sunbury or Livingston (Kinly operate a hybrid working arrangement allowing for a mix of home/office working)
Salary: Competitive and negotiable dependent on experience, plus company benefits
Interview Process: 2 stage (Virtual and Face-to-face)
Whilst experience in Audio Visual is not essential, candidates must have strong BIM capability. This is NOT a vacancy that would suit architects/building designers, however a background in electrical/MEP/lighting/data would be considered relevant.
Kinly is a leading integrator of audio-visual and unified communications solutions, and the largest in Europe, serving as a globally trusted technology advisor to leading organisations. For more than 25 years, we have been designing, developing, integrating and supporting complex audiovisual solutions and businesses rely on us to deliver consistently secure and flexible meeting experiences.
As our business and client base continues to develop further, we now have a new opportunity for an experienced CAD Technician to join our team.
We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented CAD/BIM Technician to support the design and implementation of integrated Audio Visual (AV) systems.
This role combines proficiency in CAD drafting with BIM modelling to produce accurate, coordinated, and standards-compliant documentation for AV infrastructure across commercial, institutional, and public sector projects.
The successful candidate will work closely with project engineers, project managers, architects, and other stakeholders to create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models that integrate seamlessly within multidisciplinary project environments.
Key responsibilities:
-
Work with AV design engineers to translate system designs into detailed, build-ready documentation.
-
Develop and manage 2D CAD drawings and 3D BIM models for AV systems, including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, and details for coordinating.
-
Incorporate AV infrastructure into architectural, mechanical, and electrical BIM models, ensuring proper coordination with other trades.
-
Utilise Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks (or similar software) to create coordinated AV models in compliance with project BIM Execution Plans (BEPs).
-
Maintain and update AV families and content within Revit libraries, ensuring consistency and adherence to project and industry standards.
-
Participate in model coordination meetings and clash detection processes using BIM tools.
-
Assist with as-built documentation, ensuring accurate post-installation documentation.
-
Collaborate with internal and external teams to ensure AV designs meet technical, architectural, and construction requirements.
Skills and experience:
-
Experience working on commercial projects across corporate and public sector verticals preferred
-
Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit required. Experience with Navisworks, BIM 360 or Bluebeam is a strong plus
-
Ability to interpret architectural, electrical, and construction documents
-
Understanding of BIM standards and practices (e.g., LOD specifications, COBie, clash detection)
-
Familiarity or qualifications in AV industry standards such as InfoComm/AVIXA CTS preferred but not essential
-
Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
-
Excellent technical documentation, communication and teamwork skills
