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)
