Collen Aktiebolag is hiring a **Virtual Design Construction (VDC) 4D Planner** to join its project management team, reporting to the BIM/Planner Manager in Europe. The position focuses on BIM-based scheduling and 4D modeling throughout project lifecycles, with a strong emphasis on integrating **onsite safety culture** into spatial and logistical planning. Core tasks include setting up and maintaining Synchro Project templates, creating schedule fragnets from BIM models, assigning quantities and cost-loaded resources to tasks, establishing production-rate rules, and conducting critical path and schedule health analyses. The planner also tracks field progress, manages workspaces for contractor coordination, and develops collaborative 4D planning scenarios to meet fast-track construction deadlines. Applicants must hold a **3rd level qualification** in an architecture, engineering, or construction (AEC) related field. Required competencies include knowledge of Synchro Pro 4D alongside working knowledge of industry-standard BIM software, such as Revit or ArchiCAD, and planning tools like P6, Powerproject, MS Project, or Synchro Modeller. Candidates should demonstrate a sound understanding of construction methodologies, scheduling, and earned value management, supported by strong presentation, IT, and communication skills to work effectively both independently and within multidisciplinary teams.

- Setting up Synchro Project template and files and maintenance of same for the duration of a project
- Develop Resource Appearance Profiles, Status Colors and Resource Cost for reuse
- BIM-based Planning
- Create schedule fragnet from BIM Models
- Assign Physical Quantity to Tasks
- Set up Rules (production rates) for quantity-driven task durations
- Conduct 4D Reviews
- Advanced Filtering for Tasks and 3D
- Understand Critical Path Filter and Analysis
- Adjust 4D Model by using 3D/Resource and Task selection mode
- Schedule Health Check and Alerts
- Implement 4D for Logistics, Spatial Coordination, and Safety Planning
- Workspaces (for contractor coordination)
- Spatial Coordination (for safety planning)
- Collaborative Planning
- Field Tracking and Progress Monitoring
- Calculate User Fields and Synchro Script
- Create Calculated UF for Auto-matching
