- Description
Tech savvy Engineers with a keen interest in BIM are required for Digital Engineer to work on the Construction of Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant,
Looking for degree qualified Civil / Structural Engineers for contractor or consultant backgrounds who are genuinely interested in BIM and have good 2D CAD or 3D BIM software skills – please note the CAD/BIM experience could have been gained at university.
Tthe person will be based in offices in Bristol and the project will last 7 years, you will be working in the post tender digital engineering team.
Digital Engineering Team function is to build the project digitally ensuring the design works and the programme fits together, highlighting value engineering opportunities, reducing technical quires, coordinating with sub-consultants, site teams so that the construction phase is easier & more efficient. Utilising state of the art BIM & virtual reality technology.
Digital Engineer’s either report to a Lead Engineer or Senior Digital Engineer and either support a Senior Digital Engineer with a large package of works or take ownership of their very own package, potentially with an Assistant underneath them. Assistant Digital Engineer will either report to a Senior Digital Engineer or Digital Engineer and will be mentored and trained into the role of Digital Engineer.
Hinkley Point Power Station – Project Profile:

- Ensure that project environmental procedures are implemented to satisfy contractual environmental obligations and any necessary third party consents and approvals.
- RC detailing of temporary works may be required (Experience not essential)
4D Sequencing
- 4D sequencing to program (linking to Primavera P6 or Microsoft project via Navis Works).
- Step by step construction (week on week) 4D sequencing within a model environment.
- ‘Virtual builds’ to support method statements as instruction packs, particularly for reinforcement placement.
Development and use of component parts
- Develop and maintain a 3D library of custom and third party supplier’s components containing relevant attribute data for use by site teams in their federated models.
Information, Change Control & Records
- The senior DE modeller for site is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the site teams always have access to the latest information via federated models.
- All information (models and drawings) must be produced in line with client naming and formatting systems.
Clash detection and coordination
- Coordinating all third party models into federated models as required by site and planning teams.
- Running clash checks and reviewing model for errors and details which would create an issue for the construction or operation of the structure.
Schedule information and equipment lists
- Generation of resource and material usage reports based on programme.
- Generation of equipment lists.
Engineering Knowledge – Capture, Sharing & Using
- Provide value engineering in determining the best solutions to engineering problems
