Project Overview:

Bechtel is designing, constructing, and commissioning the world’s largest radioactive waste treatment plant for the U.S. Department of Energy at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State. The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant will use vitrification technology to process and solidify 56 million gallons (210 million liters) of radioactive and chemical waste stored at the Hanford site, which is a byproduct of plutonium production during World War II and the Cold War era.

The project is the largest undertaking of its kind and one of DOE’s most technically challenging cleanup projects. Its construction spans 65 acres (26 hectares) with four major nuclear facilities – Pretreatment, Low-Activity Waste Vitrification, High-Level Waste Vitrification and Analytical Laboratory – as well as operations and maintenance buildings, utilities, other support facilities.

The Waste Treatment Completion Company (WTCC) is a limited liability corporation created by Bechtel National Inc. (BNI) and Amentum. WTCC is a subcontractor to BNI, the prime contractor, to deliver the construction, turnover, startup, and commissioning activities for the WTP project.

This position is located at the Construction Site (22 miles north of Richland) and works a 4 x 10 schedule, M-Th, 6:30 am to 5:00 pm. Selected applicants need to be able and willing to work weekends as needed.

Job Summary:

The 4D Coordinator supports project planning, constructability, and execution through advanced modeling technology. The 4D Coordinator reports directly to the AWP Lead and will work closely with Field Engineering, Superintendents, and Completion Managers. The 4D Coordinator helps simulate the construction sequence to optimize workflows and identify potential problems early in the process. #LI-CL1

Major Responsibilities:

        Visual Planning:

• Develops and maintains multi-discipline 3D and 4D BIM models using Synchro 4D.
• Use models to create 4D visual schedules that link the model to the project timeline.
• Coordinates interdisciplinary model reviews using Synchro 4D.
• Performs quality control reviews of models.
• May include, but is not limited to, existing conditions modeling, cost estimation, phase planning, site analysis, design construability reviews, 3D visualization, 3D coordination, site utilization planning, construction system design, digital fabrication, and 3D control planning.
  
  Systems Integration:
  
  
• Responsible for integration of project systems in support of AWP program.
• Provides support for development of automated data quality and data completeness/checks.
