calfordseaden is a leading multi-disciplined construction and property consultancy. We provide a definitive range of services to the UK building and construction industry covering civil and structural engineering; chartered building and quantity surveying; project management; architecture and master planning; mechanical and electrical engineering; sustainability; fire consultancy, building information modelling (BIM); and health and safety.
The role: The role involves collaborating with the Fire Safety Engineers in developing a Fire Safety Strategy for a variety of projects (buildings and infrastructure) utilising advanced computational modelling tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Evacuation modelling and Radiation modelling. This collaboration will result in effective and robust solutions developed through computer modelling studies for our clients in a timely and presentable manner. What you’ll be doing: Developing modelling methodologies through a Qualitative Design Review (QDR); Interrogating architectural and structural building models; Utilising PyroSim software to create the geometries for CFD modelling; Running the modelling in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) environment; Utilising Smokeview (SMV) for visualization of the output and results; Using Pathfinder to create geometries for evacuation modelling; Using CFAST modelling tool for two-zone fire models; Using MS Office for presenting the results in excel sheets, reports and presentation; Radiation modelling; and Attending in person and online meetings with Design Team and Approving Authorities and assist in explaining the modelling methodology and results. What you’ll need: Qualifications A Degree level qualification in the relevant field i.e. Mechanical Engineering, Fire Engineering, Building Physics or an engineering course. Professional membership with relevant institutes i.e. IMechE, IFE, CIBSE, SFPE. Knowledge Demonstrate a general knowledge and understanding of all aspects of Fire Safety Engineering such as fire behaviour design, radiation calculations, smoke ventilation system and evacuation parameters applicable for utilising computer modelling tools. Relevant experience with knowledge of the CIBSE Guide E, SFPE Handbook, Smoke Control Association guidance documents and British Standards i.e. BS 7974 series is preferred, but knowledge in other standards such as NFPA, IBC is welcomed. Relevant experience of delivering CFD/Fire Engineering projects. Skills Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Good interpersonal and presentational skills. Strong organisational ability. IT literacy with proficiency in the use of a range of design software such as MS Office, Bluebeam, AutoCAD and BIM. Our Values: Collaboration
Being one team and supporting each other to achieve the best results and maximise our potential. Authenticity
Being true to ourselves and others and celebrating our differences. Giving Back
Recognizing and embracing the need for our work to have a positive social impact. Excellence
Striving to be up with the best and at the forefront of what we do. Support
Providing investment, encouragement and support to bring out the best in our People. Integrity
Being honest and doing the right thing. Our Vision To be identified as a trusted client advisor; national in reach, local in service and selected for our quality and expertise in the built environment. Our values are integral to everything we do and are reflective of our interaction with each other, our clients, our wider stakeholders and how we approach our work and present ourselves. Our brilliant team consists of individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to deliver the best results and are ultimately why our clients choose to work with us time and time again. Wellbeing and Inclusion are at the forefront of our people strategy, and we are now to offer hybrid working on 95% of our roles and have recently committed to enhanced Family Leave schemes (after a qualifying period). We are passionate about encouraging more diversity within the construction industry and developing our apprenticeship program, along with enhancing our schools outreach program is part of our strategy. If you are aligned to our values and are a talented and commercially minded please apply, or if this job isn’t quite right for you but you would like to start or progress a career within construction consultancy, please send us your CV for one of our future roles. Training and Development We are proud to hold the Investors in People Gold award and of our offerings for Leadership and Management Development. Our IIP awards confirms our commitment to developing our people and we are keen to assist individuals in developing work related professional interests. The Practice takes training seriously, providing practical and financial assistance to all eligible personnel. calfordseaden is an Equal Opportunities Employer and is committed to and supports the principles of equality of opportunity in employment, training and service delivery.
