Due to continued growth across our Real Estate Digital services, Turner & Townsend has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant specialising in 4D planning, construction sequencing and digital simulation to join our team.

The successful candidate will provide specialist 4D consultancy services across a range of sectors, clients and complex capital projects. The role will focus on linking construction programmes with BIM and 3D models to improve sequencing, buildability, logistics planning, programme confidence and stakeholder understanding.

Our team is recognised for delivering digital services on major projects and programmes, supporting clients through:

Forward thinking

Careful planning

Shared understanding

Transparency and collaboration

Independent and open methodology

We work holistically with our wider business to create an environment for innovation and deliver successful outcomes where planning, BIM and visualisation are central to project delivery.

The individual will work alongside a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team delivering digital services at project, programme and portfolio level.

Working across multiple sectors, the successful candidate will lead or support the development of 4D simulations for buildings, estates, infrastructure and urban environments. This will include construction sequencing, logistics planning, buildability reviews, programme validation and the visual communication of delivery strategies.

The role will operate across both design and construction stages, working closely with clients, designers, planners, contractors, project managers and information managers. It also offers the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of our 4D capability, supporting service growth, technical standards and client engagement.

To fulfil the duties of a Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant specialising in 4D planning and simulation, the candidate will be able to:

4D Planning and Simulation:
Develop and maintain 4D construction simulations, primarily using Bentley SYNCHRO, linking BIM and 3D models with project programmes to communicate sequencing, phasing, logistics and construction methodology.

Programme Integration:
Review and interpret schedules, work breakdown structures and programme logic, working with planners to integrate information from Primavera P6 and other recognised planning tools.

BIM Requirements:
Define the model and information requirements needed to enable 4D delivery, including input to Exchange Information Requirements, review of the BIM Execution Plans and information delivery documentation.

Model Readiness and Assurance:
Assess whether BIM models are appropriately structured, developed and coded for 4D use, identifying gaps in geometry, object breakdown, classification, location or data that could affect simulation.

Logistics and Visualisation:
Produce clear visual outputs for buildings, sites and urban environments, covering access, temporary works, storage, lifting, site establishment and changing construction conditions.
