Reinforcement Engineer​/Structural Technician

Structural Technician / Reinforcement Engineer RC Modelling Team | Explore Manufacturing

Design Centre (CEMC), Worksop, Nottinghamshire

What if your designs could influence some of the UK's most complex and sustainable construction projects before they ever reach site?

At Explore Manufacturing, you'll be part of the digital engineering team behind Laing O'Rourke's industry-leading precast concrete solutions. Working at the intersection of design, digital technology and advanced manufacturing, you'll help transform engineering concepts into precision-engineered products that are manufactured offsite and assembled on major projects across the UK.

Whether you're an experienced technician, a reinforcement detailer, or someone looking to develop your digital engineering career, this is an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and a team that is shaping the future of construction.

Working within our Reinforced Concrete (RC) Modelling Team, you'll help create the digital models and manufacturing information that bring our precast solutions to life.

You'll:

• Develop detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using Tekla Structures, Revit and other digital engineering tools.
• Convert structural designs into practical, buildable and manufacturable solutions.
• Collaborate with structural engineers, production teams and DfMA specialists to ensure designs are efficient and ready for manufacture.
• Support innovation, product development and low-carbon construction solutions.
• Contribute to design reviews, tender studies and value-engineering initiatives.
• Manage and maintain design information within Common Data Environments (CDEs).
• Help drive continuous improvement in digital design, quality and manufacturing processes.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience with Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, Revit or similar CAD/BIM software.
• An interest in reinforced concrete, structural detailing or digital engineering.
• Strong attention to detail and a passion for producing high‑quality technical information.
• A collaborative approach and eagerness to learn from multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience in precast concrete, reinforced concrete detailing or manufacturing environments, although this is not essential.
• A qualification in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.

This is more than a modelling role. It's an opportunity to join one of the UK's most advanced construction manufacturing businesses and play a key role in delivering projects that leave a lasting legacy.

You'll benefit from:

• Working on nationally significant and technically challenging projects.
• Access to industry-leading digital engineering and manufacturing technology.
• Opportunities to develop your expertise in DfMA, digital design and advanced manufacturing.
• A collaborative environment where innovation and new ideas are encouraged.
• The chance to help shape more sustainable, efficient and safer ways of building.
