British Antarctic Survey interview questions

They go through applications and choose the most suitable. Often picking people who are over rather than just qualified, and before that there is a lot of lateral movement. People are more likly earmarked for the role. It is hard to get through the door. You will be sent for an intitial interview - they make you prepare a presentation that is timed. They WILL cut you off if you go over. This was via zoom. Second interview round involved me coming in having informal chat/interview over coffee and a tour and introductions.

I applied through indeed. The process took around 2 weeks. I interviewed at Antarctic Survey office at Cambridge for the role of digital construction BIM Coordinator. The process included: software skills Revit and availability. A technical interview with two managers. They asked questions about BIM workflows, clash detection, LOD levels, and coordination with consultants. A discussion about past projects, especially how I handled coordination challenges and project delivery. The interviewers were professional and focused on both technical knowledge and collaboration/communication skills. Tip for candidates: Be ready to talk about real project scenarios, your BIM standards knowledge, and how you manage coordination issues with consultants or contractors.
