Background

Tatu is a project of Rendeavour, Africa’s largest urban land developer with over 30,000 acres of visionary projects in the growth trajectories of large cities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. Rendeavour’s vision goes beyond alleviating what is a self-evident problem - that of stifling urban congestion and a dearth of quality housing and commercial property in Africa. Rather, we aim to help create the infrastructure - the living and working spaces, communities, schools and hospitals - that will help sustain and accelerate Africa’s economic growth, meet the aspirations of Africa’s burgeoning middle classes, and serve as a catalyst for further urban development.

Responsibilities

Drafting, Modeling & Technical Delivery:

• Produce detailed 2D construction drawings and 3D BIM models for reinforced concrete (RC), structural steel, and civil works for high-rise towers, industrial warehouses, and residential complexes.
• Develop complex detailing including rebar detailing (RC), steel connections, and general arrangement drawings in compliance with design specifications.
• Ensure all drawings and models strictly adhere to the company’s CAD/BIM standards and international coding conventions (e.g., ISO 19650 basics).
• Transform conceptual sketches and engineering calculations into accurate, construction-ready documentation.
• Maintain and organize the project drawing library, ensuring version control and proper file management protocols are followed.

Coordination & Clash Detection:

• Utilize Navisworks to perform collision detection between structural elements and MEP/Architectural models; generate clash reports and resolve conflicts prior to site issuance.
• Liaise effectively with Architects, MEP technicians, and Engineers to ensure a seamless, integrated design delivery.
• Assist in the preparation of "As-Built" drawings and models based on site mark-ups and field changes.

Site Support & Quality Control:

• Review construction drawings for accuracy, feasibility, and constructability before final approval.
• Conduct periodic site visits to verify that construction works align with the issued structural details and models.
• Support the engineering team in quantity take-offs (BOQ support) extracted directly from BIM models.

Qualifications and Requirements

Skills and Experience:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a Diploma from a specialized technical institute is required.
• Experience: A minimum of seven to ten (7-10) years of progressive experience in drafting and detailing for residential, industrial, and high-rise building projects.
• BIM Experience: Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in BIM modeling and coordination.
• Software Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency is mandatory in AutoCAD, Revit (Structure), and Navisworks. Awareness of Civil 3D, CADS RC, or structural analysis software (e.g., Prota Structure) is a distinct advantage.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of construction methodologies reinforced concrete detailing rules (e.g., standard hooks, laps), and structural steel sections.
