This role is ideal for a construction-related engineering graduate(civil, structural, or mechanical) with a strong interest in digital design and temporary works. You’ll combine hands-on engineering knowledge with modern design technologies to plan, model, and coordinate tower crane installations across complex sites — ensuring safety, precision, and efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
-
Develop 2D and 3D models of tower crane layouts and temporary works using BIM tools (AutoCAD, Tekla, Revit, or similar).
-
Design and check temporary works elements such as bases, ties, and supporting structures for tower cranes.
-
Analyse crane positions to ensure multiple cranes can operate safely without collision, factoring in jib lengths, slew radii, and site constraints.
-
Collaborate with operations, site teams, and crane suppliers to coordinate crane sequencing and installation planning.
-
Prepare detailed method statements and risk assessments for crane erection and dismantling activities.
-
Ensure all designs comply with relevant standards (e.g., BS 5975) and best practice guidance.
-
Conduct occasional site visits to review crane installations and verify layouts.
-
Maintain accurate design documentation, revisions, and approvals within BIM processes.
Skills & Qualifications
-
Degree in Civil, Structural, Construction, or Mechanical Engineering.
-
Working knowledge or strong interest in BIM design and coordination tools (AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, Revit, Navisworks, etc.).
-
Understanding of structural or mechanical systems (tower cranes, lifting equipment, or temporary works).
-
Strong spatial awareness and problem-solving ability.
-
Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.
-
A proactive, safety-first mindset.
-
Full, clean driving licence (some site travel required).
Desirable:
-
Familiarity with BS 5975 or temporary works procedures.
-
Experience in modelling crane layouts or construction plant.
-
Safe Pass or CSCS certification.
