Job Purpose
The Senior Structural Technician will be responsible for producing, coordinating, and supervising high-quality structural drawings and BIM models across a range of new-build and refurbishment projects. Working closely with structural engineers, architects, contractors, and other multidisciplinary team members, the role will support projects from initial briefing and concept through to detailed technical design and construction.
The successful candidate will bring strong structural detailing experience across steelwork, reinforced concrete, masonry, and timber, with a thorough understanding of RIBA project stages, BIM coordination, and construction-stage support.
Key Responsibilities
- Communicate and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams, including internal and external stakeholders, to develop structural designs for substructures and superstructures that meet client and project requirements.
- Produce, supervise, and coordinate 3D BIM models and 2D technical drawings using Revit and AutoCAD.
- Interpret structural engineers’ marked-up sketches and translate them into accurate, detailed technical drawings and coordinated BIM models.
- Produce structural sketches and detailed drawings appropriate to RIBA project stages, from briefing and concept through to technical detailed design.
- Prepare preliminary structural drawings and information suitable for outline cost estimates and early-stage project development.
- Provide construction-stage technical support, including responding to RFIs and TQs.
- Review reinforced concrete details and schedules, as well as steel fabricators’ drawings, ensuring accuracy and coordination with the wider design.
- Undertake site visits to investigate and resolve emerging structural issues during construction.
- Coordinate structural information with architects, engineers, contractors, and other disciplines to identify and resolve design clashes and technical issues.
- Support the delivery of projects within agreed timescales, budgets, and quality standards.
- Maintain a high standard of accuracy and technical quality across all drawings, models, and project documentation.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of drawing, modelling, and project delivery processes.
