The Opportunity:
The Reinforced Concrete (RC) Modelling team is an integral part of the Explore Manufacturing Design Centre, established to provide end-to-end leadership and best practice in pre-cast design and engineering throughout the full design process.
This role is to ensure all manufacturing information is created and released into the facility in accordance with the latest Eurocodes, British standards, Detailing Standards, and Manufacturing Modelling Guidance Documentation.
The Assistant Reinforcement Engineer role is required on all Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) Projects. Working under the guidance of the Senior Precast Engineer, you will liaise with structural consulting Engineers, DfMA engineers, and the Precast production team to provide manufacturing information in 2D and 3D.
The role involves producing CAD models and associated drawings for precast elements. CAD models are produced in Tekla, viewed and managed through Trimble connect.
What will the role look like?
Design Development:
* Assist the bid team with the production of tender stage modelling options to assess design intent and product viability.
* Take an innovative approach in determining the best solution for engineering problems that deliver efficiencies and savings in carbon and material.
* Assist in the review of project modelling, drawing, and metadata specifications including incoming software compatibility from stage 3 design reports.
DPF Stage 4.0 design:
* Assist in the review of project specifications to be aware of designs which are considerate of the structural frame requirements.
* Assist in the review of panel design and movement and ensure this is considerate of interfacing elements.
* Be aware of the lifting, handling, storage, and transport requirements of the product and ensure these are captured in the structural design load cases.
* Have an understanding of the capabilities and constraints of all manufacturing plants and equipment for the manufacture of precast concrete.
* Understand the reasons for value engineering in determining the best product design solutions.
* Be part of the team to develop products that perform structurally to meet client requirements and manufacturing constraints.
DPF Stage 4.5 design:
* Continuous product development and provide input where required to ensure effective development of existing products and introduction of new products.
* Self and peer check documentation to be completed and reviewed as part of the project review.
* Understand quality issues and share best practice improvements with the modelling team.
* Understand various Common Data Environments and project-specific procedures.
* Produce manufacturing and construction information in 2D and 3D.
* Understand the workflow for capturing change and have an awareness of consequences.
Manufacture Support:
* Have an awareness of design effectiveness and opportunities for improvement through collaboration with operations.
* Provide structural engineering input to NCR affecting lifting, handling, storage, or transport ensuring appropriate technical response is provided considering health and safety risks of any remedial response.
* Contribute to capturing and closing out quality issues and input into lessons learned/product modelling guidance documentation.
What skills & experience are we looking for?
* Experienced Reinforced Concrete (RC) Detailer / Structural Technician
* Knowledge of Precast Concrete preferable
* Proficient using Tekla
