About the job
Tatu City is an innovative mixed-use special economic zone, developed by Rendeavour, the largest urban land developer in Africa, encompassing over 30,000 acres of transformative projects across major cities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our mission is not only to address urban congestion and the shortage of quality housing and commercial properties but also to create essential infrastructure, living spaces, workplaces, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities, that will foster economic growth and meet the aspirations of Africa's emerging middle class while furthering urban development.
We invite a skilled and detail-oriented Civil/Structural BIM Engineer to join our forward-thinking digital engineering team. This pivotal role will contribute to the successful execution of our projects by focusing on the development, management, and coordination of advanced 3D structural models. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in BIM software and methodologies, translating structural engineering designs into precise, data-enriched models. You will work closely with design engineers and other disciplines, ensuring a fully integrated and clash-free project model that enhances efficiency and quality from design through construction.
OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
BIM Modeling & Management:
- Develop, manage, and maintain detailed 3D BIM models for structural components, including concrete, steel, and foundations, utilizing software such as Revit.
- Ensure compliance of all structural models with project-specific BIM Execution Plans (BEP) and company standards.
- Integrate structural models with architectural and MEP models, fostering seamless coordination within a unified data environment.
- Oversee and update the structural BIM model throughout the project lifecycle, implementing design changes and maintaining version control.
- Create and manage parametric Revit families and other BIM content tailored to structural project requirements.
Coordination & Clash Detection:
- Lead the structural coordination process by conducting regular clash detection analyses between the structural model and other discipline models (architecture, MEP) using Navisworks or similar software.
- Identify, document, and collaborate with the design team to resolve clashes and spatial conflicts related to structural elements promptly.
- Chair and engage in interdisciplinary BIM coordination meetings, presenting clash reports and facilitating solutions.
- Ensure that the federated model serves as a single source of truth, accurately representing the coordinated design intent.
