4D Construction Simulation Specialist

Montréal, Quebec, Canada | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Overview

We are seeking a 4D Construction Simulation Specialist to support construction sequencing, constructability analysis, and project planning for complex infrastructure and industrial projects. The successful candidate will focus on developing and maintaining 4D models that integrate schedules with 3D design data to improve construction planning, risk mitigation, and on-site execution.

This role is best suited for someone with hands-on experience in construction sequencing, BIM-based planning, and coordination who is interested in growing their expertise in digital construction methodologies. Experience in advanced visualization or animation is considered an asset but is not required.

Your role

  • Develop and manage 4D construction simulations to support sequencing, phasing, and constructability reviews.
  • Integrate project schedules with 3D/BIM models to visualize construction progress and logistics.
  • Support constructability analysis, work packaging, and risk identification through 4D workflows.
  • Collaborate with construction planners, engineers, and project teams to validate sequencing strategies.
  • Support planning workshops, coordination meetings, and stakeholder reviews using 4D simulations.
  • Update 4D models to reflect design changes, schedule updates, or construction constraints.
  • Contribute to the development and standardization of 4D and digital construction workflows.
