Linked Building Data (LBD) - Application Call

Good afternoon,

The call below had an update: due to COVID-19, *remote work* is now also
being considered for applicants.
My apologies in advance for any cross-posting.

I am writing to you on behalf of Pep Coll (in CC), from Engineering and
Project Management (www.eipm.es
<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eipm.es%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C9e54b21badfb409cc10b08d7f58bcba4%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C1%7C0%7C637247853077358921&sdata=w1KbiiVUJ1me4o%2BXEiOR9Y3dy3qz0lID3yVFe90ybO8%3D&reserved=0>),
about an open position at the *smartNorms4BIM* project that will start a
few months from now in Catalonia.
*smartNorms4BIM* is funded by ACCIÓ (the public agency for the companies
competitiveness of the Generalitat de Catalunya) and results from a
collaboration between* EIPM *and the* Artificial Intelligence Research
Centre* (IIIA) from the Spanish National Research Council, -CSIC-  (
www.iiia.csic.es
<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iiia.csic.es%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C9e54b21badfb409cc10b08d7f58bcba4%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C1%7C0%7C637247853077358921&sdata=MhU5TozJ4v6b1yCdb3%2B%2F3HcBQID9owz6%2BitK%2BYAZrjo%3D&reserved=0>
).

As you will see below in the application call, it involves the combination
of semantic web technologies - targeting Linked Building Data (LBD) - and
BIM:

The Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (IIIA) from the Spanish
> National Research Council, -CSIC-,  (www.iiia.csic.es) seeks to hire a SOFTWARE
> ENGINEER, to join its Technological Development Unit within the framework
> of the smartNorms4BIM project funded by ACCIÓ.
> The smartNorms4BIM project, which is carried out jointly with the company
> Engineering and Project Management (www.eipm.es), seeks to innovate
> through ICT in the compliance verification with regulations, codes and
> standards in the field of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC),
> in order to make a qualitative leap in the interoperability between the
> different agents involved, and thus significantly improve the project
> management in this industrial sector. To do this, an experimental prototype
> of a tool that demonstrates computational support for the verification task
> will be developed, combining modelling and information management
> techniques with artificial intelligence techniques. A small advance in
> process automation can lead to a significant reduction in time, cost and
> risk of error, as well as guiding the adoption of those ICT technologies
> that will lead to a quality and efficient electronic administration in
> their rule verification task.
>
> Requirements:
> - Degree in Computer Engineering
> - Excellent programming skills, particularly in Python and Java
> - knowledge of semantic technologies (RDF, SPARQL, OWL, ...)
> In addition, they will be evaluated:
> - knowledge of computational logic and formal verification
> - knowledge of graph-oriented databases and visual programming
> - experience in AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) and BIM
> (Building Information Modeling) sectors
> - communication and teamwork skills
> - good knowledge of English
>
> Salary: € 29,010.80 gross per annum (on 14 payments of € 2,072.20)
> Contract duration: 15 months
> Working day: 37.5 h / week
> *Place of work: Remote work is possible  *


If this is something that might be of interest to you, please write to Pep
Coll at your earliest convenience.
I would also like to ask you to share this application call with your
contacts, whom you may consider fitting the profile described above.

Kind regards.
