The role

We are looking for a Research Officer, Digital Construction – BIM & Digital Project Delivery, to support our Construction Research Centre. The Research Officer would be someone who shares our core values of Integrity, Excellence, Respect and Creativity.

The Implementation of an NRC Platform

Federal Budget 2022 proposed that the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) receive $183 million over seven years (2022-29) to transition the Canadian construction sector towards decarbonization and a more resilient built environment. The funding will support the implementation of a NRC Platform to Decarbonize the Construction Sector at Scale consisting of three integrated and synergistic “thrusts” to advance the transformation of Canada’s construction sector and contribute to the emerging low-carbon economy.

The Digitalized Construction Challenge Program (approximately $70 million over seven years) will drive transformation to digitalized construction. The program will lower construction time and cost, while improving sector innovation potential, productivity and the pace at which low-carbon solutions can be deployed in new and retrofit construction projects. The program will be specifically designed to harness and focus Canada’s research and innovation capacity in industry, academia and research-based OGDs to fill key knowledge gaps (e.g. guidelines, methods of data exchange, digital construction roadmap, integration methods between digital ecosystem and decarbonization tools, etc.) to realize standardized seamless building/infrastructure data collection. It will also seek to exchange practices and reporting, implement processes to optimize the designs and compliance of buildings and infrastructure, leverage benefits of advanced manufacturing processes (including off-site panelized and modular construction), and advance development of low-carbon retrofit solutions that lever performance-based design.

The role (cont'd)

Digitalization of the performance levels in building information management will stimulate innovative building retrofit solutions and adoption of new low-carbon products. Research and development motivated by this program will provide the technical solutions needed for early adopters in the private sector to uniformly implement integrated digital construction practices throughout the asset lifecycle and across the sector. Demonstration projects with early adopters will showcase the value of digitalized construction solutions, which will help increase sector productivity, reduce time and cost, when coupled with a shift from prescriptive to performance-based solutions.

The primary responsibility of the RO is to support the goals of NRC and the Construction Research Centre through research of international calibre and the development and application of advanced technologies The RO will work in a team environment with other researchers and technical experts in world-class facilities. While the primary role of this position is to provide support for on-going projects, activities may also include the development of proposals for new research initiatives, project management, and providing service to NRC clients. The incumbent may also interact with diverse stakeholders, including representatives of government, industry and academia, during the course of the project.

This Research Officer will focus on Building Information Modeling data standards, BIM integration, Digital Twin application and Digital Project Delivery. This position will provide direct support to a large multi-party initiative that will produce guidelines, and databases that will empower Canadians to take BIM-based decision-making tools and actions.
