Opportunity for a Methods Engineer to work with Balfour Beatty on the Sizewell C project,
Location : Sizewell C
Salary : £35k-£50k
The purpose of the role is:
- Support the development of optimised construction solutions for a wide range of complex and major complex infrastructure projects within transport and energy major projects during work winning and pre-construction delivery stages, by using knowledge and experience of design, construction methods, temporary works, planning/logistics and project management.
- This requires collaborative working with both the site team and wider methods engineering team to support the development of construction methodology solutions. This is a newly formed and growing team that sits within the Technical Services department, with opportunities for development readily available.
- This role is ideally suited to someone looking for a technically focussed engineering role, which will allow them to develop their technical engineering knowledge further, whilst working on a range of exciting projects.
- Previous construction project experience at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level (or equivalent) is preferred.
Main Duties :
- Support pre-construction design and methods development into construction delivery:
- Support construction methodology solutions development in-line with design development
- Support the development of construction sequencing following Method-led Construction principles
- Support the integration of temporary works design with permanent works design through the application of sound engineering principles
- Develop the concept temporary works schemes required for a project and draft design briefs
- Develop logistics strategies to support methodology and creation of logistics plans
- Coordinate and collaborate with a variety of discipline specialists (both in-house capability and external supply chain) on several concurrent projects, either at bid or pre-construction stage, or during early stages of construction, adopting the Method-led Construction approach
- Support the development of cost and carbon estimates for the works
- Create detailed schedules for the construction methodology options, using support from the wider methods engineering team and technical resources
- Support the adoption of modern methods of construction to improve productivity
- Identify risks associated with the works, support the development of mitigations
- Record lessons learnt and capturing knowledge for the future
- Support the development of training resources to the Methods Engineering Team and wider within the business.
- Implement BIM and digital tools to enhance pre-construction and delivery
Qualifications/Experience :
Essential
- Experience in complex / major complex project environments (at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level or equivalent)
- Up-to-date knowledge of construction methodologies
- Understanding of project planning and resourcing
- Up-to-date knowledge of industry standard safe systems of work
- Ensure responsibilities under CDM Regulations
- Knowledge of using modern methods of construction
- Comfortable with working in digital models
- Deadline-focussed outputs
- Interpersonal and communications skills
- Facilitation skills
Desirable
- Progressing towards professional accreditation in Civil Engineering or equivalent (preferred)
- Ability to work across multiple projects
- Confidence to challenge the normal approach to construction
