Computational BIM Engineer

**e.construct** We are an engineering firm that specializes in providing elegant engineering solutions for complex challenges. [e.construct](https://econstruct.co/) is a fast-growing firm with 7 offices around the world. At our core, we question how the very nature of how to evolve the structures that we inhabit to increase their performance and value. we design structures such as bridges, high-rise design, precast concrete engineering and post-tensioning design. The firm's core work is structural engineering; however, [e.construct](https://econstruct.co/) is increasingly holistic at its approach to buildings and it has divisions in MEP, Geotechnical and emerging construction technology such as 3D printing of concrete, technology and 3D laser scanning. **[](https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvaes.ai%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cnourhan.ossama%40econstruct.ae%7C845a7c2507e54a9e121c08da37e08165%7C69f63e03d71a4198b6191e0a07aa9034%7C1%7C0%7C637883734627423512%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s3bngc8UpgLSkpUKIrn1%2BD3sTk47HJ298G1SYEdGOiI%3D&reserved=0)** We are a tech startup that is being incubated in the technology lab of [e.construct](https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feconstruct.co%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cnourhan.ossama%40econstruct.ae%7C845a7c2507e54a9e121c08da37e08165%7C69f63e03d71a4198b6191e0a07aa9034%7C1%7C0%7C637883734627423512%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=IYVQMr6EJLMtj7acJe%2Bm3Q2%2FgShkG58y9Y23zgS%2F1ug%3D&reserved=0) and we employ technology to empower and eventually transform engineering. **VAES’s** mission is to reduce the amount of raw materials we design in our buildings and bridges by using optimization algorithms and machine learning. **VAES** consists of a team of software developers, civil engineers, machine learning experts, architects and graphic designers that builds tools that engineers can use to design and manufacture the next generation of cities.
