You will join the Environmental Sustainability Assessment and Circularity (SUSTAIN) Unit, developing knowledge, methods, transferable software, for the simulation and comprehensive sustainability assessment of socio-economic systems. Its purpose is to foster sustainable eco-innovation, through products and technologies, as well as support sustainability-oriented policy implementation and behavioural change to promote decarbonisation transitions.

Within the SUSTAIN Unit, you will join the Sustainable Urban and Built Environment (SUBE) research group. The activities conducted within the SUBE group tackle the whole life-cycle of built assets (i.e. Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations).

They mainly consist in the formulation, development and deployment of data-driven methods and tools supporting the transition of construction sector towards low-carbon and sustainable built environments (incl. districts and cities), with a strong focus on the digitalisation of processes and information flows (incl. handling Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twins).

Description

We are looking for an expert engineer to join the team, contribute to both the formulation and implementation of innovative computer-based systems, and reinforce our capabilities to handle IT-focused projects.

The successful candidate will work closely with our teams of researchers and Architecture, Engineering and Construction domain experts. She/he will contribute to the development of the unit’s technological assets, which are mainly information systems and involve the handling and use of Building Information Models and City models in Geographical Information Systems.

These developments rely on well recognised industry data standards such as IFC, OGC Standards, GeoJSON, CityGML. The information systems are developed using standard database systems, as well as Graph databases, and mainly rely on vue.js for web front-end development.
