(Senior) Constructor Earthquake Resistant Structures

Imagine: you are working on projects that secure the future of buildings in earthquake prone areas such as Groningen. At VORM4, you get the opportunity to use your seismic expertise to design structures that are not only technically challenging, but also contribute to a safer living environment for residents. Together with an innovative team, you will work on solutions that make a real difference. Your knowledge of seismic calculations contributes to a stronger and safer Groningen, where buildings are more resistant to the forces of nature.

Are you our new expert in earthquake resistant structures?

As a Senior Constructor of Earthquake Resistant Structures at VORM4, you will be responsible for participating in complex projects in a niche market. You play a key role in designing and calculating structures that are resistant to earthquakes.

We invest in the latest tools and technologies, such as Scia Engineer and IDEA Statics, Visual Basic and Python, so that you always stay ahead in your field and can do your job more easily and better. This also fits into the BIM method. This is because we ensure that different software packages communicate with each other in the right way.

You have the freedom to grow into a senior or management position and have access to a training budget of €2,000 - €5,000 to further develop your expertise.

What about us? This is VORM4!

VORM4 is a progressive engineering firm in Leeuwarden, specialized in designing sustainable, advanced solutions for the construction sector. Our focus is on delivering the highest quality structures, using leading tools such as Scia Engineer, IDEA Statics and BIM modelling. In order to always stay ahead, we spend time every week developing the latest techniques and calculation methods.

In seismic calculations, we use advanced methods, such as the Lateral Force Method (LFM), Modal Response Spectrum Analysis (MRSA), Non-Linear Push-Over Analysis (NLPO) and Non-Linear Time History Analysis (NLTH). These methods enable us to design structures that can withstand the toughest conditions.

Our clients, such as the National Coordinator Groningen, rely on us to provide comprehensive advice. We take care of the entire process, from inspection and assessment to the preparation of Assessment Reports and Ready to Execution Design. This includes regular reassessments of Reinforcement Advice, Technical Reinforcement Advice and Additional Investigations.
