What will you be responsible for?

As Senior Virtual Design Coordinator, you'll be working within the Digital team, developing and managing 4D construction models, linking programme data with design information, clearly communicating construction sequencing, risks and efficiencies. Working closely with planners, engineers and delivery teams, helping translate complex construction methodologies into clear, accurate and engaging 4D outputs using industry-leading digital tools.

Your day to day will include:

• Developing and maintaining 4D construction models by linking programme data with design models, accurately representing construction sequencing and methodology.
• Producing time-based simulations and visualisations supporting planning, site logistics, option studies and stakeholder communication.
• Creating and managing 4D scenarios testing, comparing and communicating construction strategies, risks and programme impacts.

What we are looking for

This role of Senior Virtual Design Coordinator is great for you if:

• Proven ability to develop and manage 4D construction simulations, integrating live project programmes (e.g. Primavera P6 or MS Project) with BIM models to inform sequencing, logistics and project decision-making.
• Strong proficiency in Synchro 4D, Fuzor or similar 4D planning and visualisation software.
• Clear understanding of construction methodologies, with the ability to communicate programme logic, risks and logistics effectively to project teams and stakeholders.

Rewards and benefits

We're proud to be able to offer our brilliant people a wide variety of benefits that you can tailor to your needs.

Diversity and inclusion

Making Kier a diverse and inclusive place to work is a huge priority for us. We're proud of the steps we've taken so far, but we know we must always do more. Our employees are key in shaping Kier's diversity and inclusion initiatives and our people have made a huge impact on how we work, by using their experiences to shape our policies.

We look forward to seeing your application to join the #constructionrevolution #joinkier.
