Structural Technicians with RC detailing experience whom who would then work on the Rebar Review section within the Digital Engineering team for the new build of Hinkley Point.

Overview

A major international engineering and contracting company, who adopt modern Lean construction techniques and are the market leaders in BIM, are recruiting for Civil/Structural Senior CAD / BIM Technicians to join their award winning Digital (BIM) Engineering Team for the £2 billion Infrastructure Mega Project to build a new Nuclear Power Station at Hinkley Point.

You will be working within the dedicated Hinkley Point Power Station Digital Engineering team based from Bristol, whose overall purpose is to build the project digitally before it is constructed. Checking that the design works and the programme fits together without any clashes, therefore, any design or programme issues can be highlighted and rectified and value engineering options can be spotted.

As an experienced RC detailer you will work within the Rebar Review section, ideally you will have some 3D software experience, although if you are genuinely interested in learning the 3D environment and have the right technical and project experience then you will definitely be considered if you only worked 2D.

Project

Working on the UK’s first New Nuclear Power Station in over 20 years, this extremely high profile project duration is 7 years and the project consists of highly complex massive reinforced structures and buildings. The scale of the project is huge - each nuclear island is the equivalent size of St Paul’s Cathedral; and around enough concrete will be poured to fill Twickenham Rugby Stadium to roof level.

Location

The position is based full time from offices in Bristol.

Salary

£30 – 45,000 DOE PKG: Car (Audi A3 or BMW 1 Series) or £4000 Car allowance + health + pension + 25 days holiday + travel paid to work

AREA OF KEY RESPONSIBILITY

Production of construction information - models and drawings

• Generation of site plans, access routes and pour sequences etc. in 2D and 3D.
• Modelling of temporary installations, plant and site hoarding will have to be produced as necessary to be used in4D sequencing and for coordination.
• 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

• 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 the companies and 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.

EXPERIENCE / BACKGROUND

• Experience of RC detailing on major reinforced concrete projects
• Looking for candidates with Civil/Structural Background
• Experience of civil engineering on large complex projects & taking ownership of your own projects/packages of work
• 3D software experience - Any package (ideally Tekla)
• Self-motivated to lead and achieve the highest levels of excellence
• PC-literate,(Various design package experience)
• 3-5 + years experience
• AUTOCAD or BUILDING related qualification (civils, building)
• Relevant technical/practical experience on infrastructure projects within a design/construction role – working for consultancy, client or contractor.
• Good communication skills
