Description du poste

GravitHy is an innovative French company born with a global ambition to decarbonize the steel industry. Our goal is to produce large-scale, low-carbon green Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) using renewable and low-emission hydrogen. We aim to build, own, and operate our first green iron plant in southern France (2.3B€ Capex), with the intention of replicating this model across Europe and beyond.

About the Role:

BIM Plant Design /3D Model Engineer. Reporting to the Senior Engineering Project Manager, the BIM Plant Design /3D Model Engineer is responsible for the design and coordination of plant design and 3D modelling activities for production units and related facilities.

He/She ensures technical quality, interdisciplinary consistency, and compliance with project schedules and budgets, while actively contributing to the digitalization of engineering processes through BIM and 3D design tools.

Location: Paris, with occasional travel to Fos-sur-Mer.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Coordination

• Ensuring technical consistency between project packages including piping, structural, civil, HVAC, Fire, electrical, instrumentation, HSE with 3D model studies.
• Plan, monitor, and control the progress of design activities within the assigned scope; identify deviations, anticipate risks, and ensure compliance with deadlines, costs, and quality standards.
• Design authorities on Piping field and general arrangements
• Leader in 3D model review with attention on maintenance and operation
• Deliverables will include BOMs (Bill of Materials) and isometric drawings.
• Prepare and lead internal progress meetings within the discipline and provide regular technical reporting to Project Managers.

2. Design, 3D Modelling, and Document Validation
