Tender Animator / 4D Planner

The Tender Animator / 4D Planner supports preconstruction and tender activities through development of visual project simulations, construction sequencing content, and digital planning outputs. The role supports communication of project delivery strategies through visual representation of programmes, phasing, logistics, and construction activities.

The role supports understanding of construction approaches by translating project information into visual and digital outputs. The role works with planning, digital construction, bid, and project teams to support development of accurate and practical project delivery visualisations.

01How this role lives our values

This role supports understanding of project delivery strategies through clear visual representation of construction sequencing, logistics, and programme information. By supporting communication of project plans and delivery approaches, the role contributes to informed decision-making and project understanding.

Safety: Support safe project planning by accurately representing construction sequencing, logistics constraints, and project delivery considerations.

Integrity: Support consistency, accuracy, and reliability through well-managed information, structured workflows, and realistic project visualisations.

Teamwork: Build collaborative relationships that support integration of planning, digital construction, and tendering activities.

Ownership: Take responsibility for producing accurate visual outputs that support project understanding and tender activities.

Sustainability: Support long-term capability in digital construction through effective use of BIM, visual planning tools, and knowledge sharing.

02Key Responsibilities

4D Planning, Animation & BIM Integration:

• Develop 4D tender animations aligning construction sequencing with design models and project programmes.
• Build visual simulations representing construction activities and delivery strategies.
• Interpret programme logic and convert project information into visual timelines.
• Integrate 3D/BIM models, construction drawings, and staging information into coherent animations.

Construction Sequencing & Logistics Visualisation:

• Develop visual representations of construction phasing, logistics, access arrangements, commissioning activities, and trade interfaces.
• Produce logistics and phasing diagrams supporting programme and delivery narratives.

Tender Support & Stakeholder Communication:

• Work with planners, bid teams, site teams, and subcontractors to maintain accuracy and realism.
• Produce visual explainers for stakeholder presentations and tender interviews.
• Support communication of project delivery methodologies and tender strategies.

Digital Coordination & Information Management:

• Maintain version control and structured digital workflows.
• Support visual content used within methodology documents, procurement strategies, and technical submissions.

03Key Requirements

• Familiarity with major planning or modelling tools: P6, MS Project, Revit, Navisworks, ACC, and IFC workflows.
• Knowledge of construction phasing and logistics.
• Ability to communicate project delivery approaches through visual and digital outputs.
• Attention to accuracy, realism, and clarity.
• Experience within planning, site engineering, digital construction, architectural BIM, or visualisation disciplines.
• Experience supporting preconstruction or tender activities is advantageous.
• Portfolio or work samples demonstrating sequencing, visualisation, or animation activities are advantageous.

04Skills

• 4D planning and animation development skills.
• Construction sequencing and logistics visualisation skills.
• Programme interpretation and visual communication skills.
• BIM integration and animation development skills.
• Presentation and stakeholder communication skills.
• Logistics modelling and phasing diagram development skills.
• Digital workflow and information management skills.
