Structural Technician / Reinforcement Engineer RC Modelling Team | Explore Manufacturing

Design Centre (CEMC), Worksop, Nottinghamshire

Help Redefine How Construction Is Designed And Manufactured

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.

What You'll Be Doing

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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
