Background

Tatu is a project of Rendeavour, Africa’s largest urban land developer with over 30,000 acres of visionary projects in the growth trajectories of large cities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. Rendeavour’s vision goes beyond alleviating what is a self-evident problem - that of stifling urban congestion and a dearth of quality housing and commercial property in Africa. Rather, we aim to help create the infrastructure - the living and working spaces, communities, schools and hospitals - that will help sustain and accelerate Africa’s economic growth, meet the aspirations of Africa’s burgeoning middle classes, and serve as a catalyst for further urban development.

Responsibilities

The Electrical BIM Intern will support the electrical engineering team in preparing BIM-based electrical designs and drawings for Tatu City infrastructure and developments. The role involves assisting with modelling, drawing production, coordination, and documentation for ongoing projects under supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in developing and updating electrical BIM models for power distribution, lighting, earthing, and low-current systems.
• Prepare electrical layouts, schematics, and detail drawings using BIM software.
• Support coordination of electrical designs with architectural, civil, structural, and other MEP disciplines.
• Update models and drawings based on engineer comments and site feedback.
• Extract drawings, schedules, and quantities from BIM models as required.
• Assist in clash detection and resolution under guidance of the Electrical Engineer or BIM Lead.
• Ensure drawings and models comply with project standards, codes, and Tatu City design guidelines.
• Maintain proper file management, drawing registers, and version control.
• Attend internal coordination meetings and site inspections when required.
• Provide general technical support to the electrical design team.
