Project Engineer – Project Designer with opportunities for growth (Oudenburg or Deerlijk)

As a project engineer/project designer, you’ll be responsible for several technical construction files related to architectural concrete design elements (customised wall elements, balconies, etc.). You look for suitable solutions that facilitate prefabrication and assembly. You’re responsible for modelling prefab elements (incl. reinforcement, anchorage, etc.) in the 3D Tekla Design software and finalising the production plans. Additionally, you’ll arrange communication with the client/suppliers/subcontractors, participate in site meetings, and monitor the file’s progress after the plans have been approved.

Specifically, you will be responsible for the thorough nature of the studies and analyses, i.e. collecting the key data and establishing the principle cross sections. To that end, you might organise a kick-off meeting, potentially in collaboration with our head of department. You study the details, always aiming to arrive at aesthetically, economically, and technically sound solutions. You’ll be working with the department head to define the reinforcement used in the concrete elements. You are responsible for 3D modelling, and creating general, formwork, and reinforcement plans. You request (or draw up) analysis reports for built-in or anchoring elements and ensure that they are ordered.

Are you ambitious, and are you eager to continue growing? If so, we offer a wide range of options bound to keep you occupied and satisfied! For example, you’ll eventually be able to lead projects, assisted by a fellow drafter/designer in the production of detail drawings. That way, you get to focus on studies and analyses, modelling, and leading projects. We are hard at work developing and incorporating our Tekla 3D Design software. It’s an ongoing process that you can contribute to. Or do you have your sights set on eventually transitioning to a more commercial role? We are committed and enthusiastic about helping you pave your career path at the Verhelst Group.
