About the job
Our Structural Engineering practice collaborates with architects, building owners, and builders to design elegant solutions for projects of all types, sizes, and levels of complexity. From designing the world’s tallest buildings and most extended spans to engineering inventive “jewel- box” structures and designing major expansion projects, we continually seek the best balance among the demands of form, function, sustainability, constructability, schedule, and budget.
Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges. An independent organization of creative thinkers and innovative doers collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our clients&039; ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for a better, more resilient future. We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career.
The Role
The Senior Structural BIM Modeler will lead the creation and coordination of detailed structural models and project deliverables using TT’s current BIM software platforms. Responsibilities include advanced 3D parametric modeling, accurate representation and annotation of structural elements in 2D drawings, and the development of complex reinforcement and/or steel detailing. The role requires close collaboration with engineers and other disciplines, particularly architects, to ensure design intent and constructability are accurately represented in the model. The candidate should demonstrate strong technical expertise, a high level of quality control awareness, and the ability to work independently while mentoring junior modelers throughout all phases of the design and documentation process.
Responsibilities
• Clearly annotate, dimension, and detail 2D production drawings in conformance to Thornton Tomasetti standards and practices.
• Experience in collaborating with Architecture and MEP drawings/models is preferred.
• Manage the BIM workflow including folder organization, sheet sets, plots, revisions, and transmittals.
• Continued development of “best practices” for BIM.
• Develop plans, sections, elevations, schedules and details from a 3D BIM model for projects of all sizes and technical complexities.
• Collaborate with engineers and PMs to coordinate BIM modeling content and approaches, model exchanges, quality control, and delivery.
• Maintain structural BIM files for use in the structural design drawings (clean- up, audit, reference, troubleshooting).
• Set up and geo- locate multiple models for a single project.
• Create 3D models to a high level of accuracy with instruction, industry guidelines, and TT standards and practices.
• Use software such as Bluebeam, BIM360/ACC, and Navisworks for project collaboration across multiple disciplines in a BIM environment.
