AREA OF KEY RESPONSIBILITY (Please note you will not be expected to be able to do this straight away and training will be provided)

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).

• ‘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.
