Senior Technical Engineer

Overview

Bim

• Coordinate with the BIM Manager / BIM Coordinator to ensure that Structural technical requirements are properly reflected in the BIM workflow and project digital deliverables.
• Provide Structural technical input to support BIM coordination, model development, clash review, and construction-stage coordination.
• Review BIM-generated outputs from a Structural and constructability perspective, including coordinated plans, sections, details, schedules, and 3D views where required.
• Ensure that Structural shop drawings extracted from BIM models are technically correct, coordinated with site requirements, and aligned with the latest approved information.
• Support the resolution of coordination issues identified through BIM reviews.
• Attend BIM coordination meetings when Structural decisions, constructability matters, or technical clarifications are required.
• Ensure that Structural team comments and decisions are properly communicated to the BIM team for model updates and coordination follow-up.
• Coordinate with subcontractors and specialist suppliers to ensure their BIM-related inputs are aligned with the approved Structural design, shop drawings, material submittals, and site execution requirements.
• Support the BIM Manager in validating that Structural deliverables are aligned with the project’s BIM execution requirements, without taking ownership of BIM management responsibilities.
• Use BIM outputs as a coordination and decision-support tool to improve technical clarity, reduce site conflicts, and support timely approvals.
• Escalate critical Structural coordination risks identified through BIM reviews to the Technical Office Manager and BIM Manager for action and resolution.

1. Leadership

• Distribute tasks, monitor team productivity, and ensure deliverables are submitted according to project priorities and approved schedules.
• Review Structural technical outputs before submission to the Technical Office Manager, consultant, or client.
• Act as the first escalation point for Structural technical issues before escalation to the Technical Office Manager.
• Prepare Structural deliverable trackers, submission logs, RFI logs, drawing registers, and team progress reports.
• Support the Technical Office Manager in planning, workload forecasting, technical strategy, and resource allocation.
• Ensure that Structural deliverables are aligned with the project baseline programme, procurement schedule, construction sequence, and site priorities.
• Mentor Senior Structural and Structural and support the development of team technical capabilities.
• 2.
• Coordination with Consultants, Subcontractors & Internal Teams
• Lead Structural coordination meetings with consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal project teams.
• Coordinate with architectural and MEP teams to resolve interdisciplinary conflicts.
• Coordinate with QS/commercial team for quantity verification, variation assessment, and change management.
• Coordinate with planning team to align technical deliverables with construction priorities and lookahead programmes.
• Coordinate with QA/QC team to ensure approved drawings, materials, mock-ups, inspection requirements, and method statements are properly aligned.
• Coordinate with authority engineers or consultants where Structural approvals or local authority submissions are required.
• Ensure all Structural technical decisions are properly documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders.

3. RFIs, CVIs, Variations & Technical Clarifications

• Lead the preparation and review of Structural RFIs, CVIs, technical queries, and clarification of sketches.
• Ensure RFIs are technically clear, contractually traceable, and supported with sketches, references, and recommended solutions where required.
• Follow up with consultants and client representatives to obtain timely responses.
• Assess consultant replies and ensure required updates are reflected in shop drawings, BIM models, procurement documents, and site instructions.
• Support the commercial/QS team in identifying and substantiating architectural variations.
• Review drawing changes, specification changes, and site instructions to determine technical, cost, and time impact.
• Maintain proper records of RFIs, CVIs, drawing revisions, approvals, and change-related correspondence.

4. CDE Compliance

• Ensure all Structural submissions are properly prepared, reviewed, numbered, and issued through the approved project CDE such as Asite, Aconex, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or any client-mandated platform.
• Ensure engineering documents are exchanged through the approved internal and external submission workflows.
• Maintain drawing registers, revision logs, submission trackers, approval status logs, and technical correspondence records.
• Ensure superseded drawings and documents are properly controlled to avoid site execution based on outdated information.
• Enforce proper naming conventions, revision control, document metadata, and approval workflows.

5. Site Technical Support

• Provide technical support to site engineers and construction teams during execution.
• Resolve Structural site issues related to drawings, details and coordination with other trades.
• Conduct site visits to verify technical compliance with approved shop drawings and specifications.
• Assist in resolving NCRs, site observations, consultant comments, and quality-related architectural issues.
• Ensure that the latest approved drawings and technical documents are available to the site team.
• Monitor Structural work progress from a technical perspective and highlight risks that may impact approvals, procurement, or construction progress.
