Shape the Future of Digital Design in Construction
Join Explore Manufacturing's Reinforced Concrete (RC) Modelling Team – the digital design hub at the heart of Laing O'Rourke's world-class precast expertise. You'll help deliver next-generation Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) solutions across some of the UK's most ambitious and sustainable projects.
About The Role
As an Reinforcement Engineer/Structural Technician, you'll support the creation of detailed 2D and 3D manufacturing information for precast concrete components, using leading platforms such as Tekla Structures, Trimble Connect, and Revit.
