  • Conduct site surveys, collect and assess site information, liaise with clients and fellow construction professionals, and represent the company at design and site meetings.
  • Understand the practicalities of the erection, use, and dismantle of scaffolding, as well as its main functions in key industry sectors, and apply this knowledge to improve our service provision, processes, and standards.
  • Uphold the name and reputation of GKR Scaffolding Ltd at all times, conducting yourself in a professional and dignified manner in keeping with the values of the company.
What You Will Learn
  • The role of the Scaffold Design Engineer, including responsibilities to society, the environment, and future generations, and understanding current legislation and regulations to ensure you know how to exercise your responsibilities and protect the interests of the public, client, and GKR Scaffolding.
  • Codes of practice and industry guidance, including current standards of good practice to ensure that all designs meet the minimum requirements and are safe to use.
  • Production of design drawings, ensuring that all designs meet the minimum requirements and are safe to use, referencing the GKR Drawing Template Guide and BS 8888: 2011.
  • On-site information collection, including current UK site conditions, site roles, and how to collect relevant information for a scaffold design.
  • Design risk assessments, including the process and completion of the design risk assessment, with the ability to apply legislation and regulations such as SG4:15 – NASC Safety Guidance on the erection of scaffold structures and design out risk where needed.
  • Buildability and commercial awareness, including the impact of design on the buildability and commercial viability of a project.
  • Structural analysis, including the roles to maintain structural integrity and how to use a structural analysis software and check the results provided.
  • Analysis of complex structures, including familiarisation with different complex structures and their behaviour, understanding of the considerations and potential setbacks, and structural analysis tips.
Requirements
  • This role will suit an ambitious graduate design engineer who wants to work in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication skills, with an ability to articulate plans clearly, and collaborate with clients and the GKR team.
  • Highly analytical with forensic attention to detail.
  • Adaptable with the ability to work across multiple projects and manage a number of stakeholders.
  • Proactive approach to learning and developing skills supported by the business.
  • Ability to evaluate new technologies/platforms in line with business needs.
