Our Structural Engineeringpractice 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.
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.
