Senior Technical Engineer

Role Overview

The Senior Technical Engineer is a site‑based technical role within the Technical Office department responsible for producing, reviewing, and governing all structural shop drawings, technical submittals, RFIs, CVIs, and structural BIM models. BIM is a mandatory working tool for this role; all structural shop drawings must be produced from and traceable to the Revit Structure model, and all project files must be managed through the Common Data Environment (CDE) in compliance with ISO 19650 and the project BIM Execution Plan (BEP).

The engineer coordinates with the BIM Manager and BIM Coordinator to ensure that structural technical requirements are properly reflected in the BIM workflow and project digital deliverables.

He/she provides structural technical input to support BIM coordination, model development, clash review, and construction‑stage coordination. The engineer reviews BIM‑generated outputs from a structural and constructability perspective—including coordinated plans, sections, details, schedules, and 3‑D views where required—and ensures that structural shop drawings extracted from BIM models are technically correct, coordinated with site requirements, and aligned with the latest approved information. Additionally, the engineer supports the resolution of coordination issues identified through BIM reviews, attends BIM coordination meetings when structural decisions, constructability matters, or technical clarifications are required, and ensures that structural team comments and decisions are properly communicated to the BIM team for model updates.

Other key responsibilities include coordinating 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; supporting the BIM Manager in validating that structural deliverables are aligned with the project’s BIM execution requirements, and using BIM outputs as a coordination and decision‑support tool to improve technical clarity, reduce site conflicts, and support timely approvals.

• Lead and manage the structural technical office team, including senior structural BIM modelers and draftsmen; distribute tasks, monitor 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 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 staff and support the development of team technical capabilities.

• Lead structural coordination meetings with consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal project teams.
• Coordinate with architectural and MEP teams to resolve interdisciplinary conflicts.
• Coordinate with the QS commercial team for quantity verification, variation assessment, and change management.
• Coordinate with the planning team to align technical deliverables with construction priorities and look‑ahead programmes.
• Coordinate with the 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.

• Lead the preparation and review of structural RFIs, CVIs, technical queries, and clarification of sketches.
• Ensure RFIs are technically clear, contractually traceable, and supported…
