The Role

Overview

Develop and manage 3D/4D lifting and logistics models for Sizewell C nuclear project.

Key Responsibilities

  • 3d modelling
  • 4d modelling
  • digital coordination
  • model updates
  • lifting model
  • training

Tasks

-Carry out 3D and 4D modelling activities to support on-site coordination, focusing on spatial coordination, temporary works, site access, and time-sequenced construction planning. -Contribute to continuous improvement, helping optimise digital coordination, site management techniques, and the use of mobile technology. -Drive the implementation of digital processes, culture, and technology to improve project delivery, including integration of 4D (time), 5D (cost), and 6D (asset data) models. -Support the development and management of the Project Information Model (PIM) through design and construction, promoting consistent digital workflows and best practices. -Prepare and publish high-quality graphical and non-graphical outputs for review, ensuring all digital deliverables meet project and client standards. -Provide guidance and training to project teams and supply chain partners on using and developing 3D and 4D models. -Lead updates to the model throughout the project lifecycle, including a full refresh following tender award in March 2026 as supplier crane data is confirmed. -Work with the Lifting and Logistics team to develop and maintain the project lifting model (NWD), managing around 100 crane positions and arrangements to support buildability and lifting strategy development.
