Good knowledge of design codes, standards and regulations.  Ideally familiarity with Eurocodes, British Standards and Building Regulations. Also proficiency in (and enthusiasm for) design and modelling software including AutoCAD, Civil 3D and hydraulic modelling software such as MicroDrainage- is very important. A good understanding of BIM required. Knowledge of Revit beneficial but not necessary, if the candidate does not have experience with Revit, a willingness to learn is essential.
