Civil Engineer Construction IT Specialist or comparable job description as a research assistant (m/f/d)

Large infrastructure planning of the German Federal Waterways and Maritime Administration (WSV) actively contributes: this is for the employees of the Federal Institute for Water Construction (BAW) everyday life. In diverse consulting and research projects – and as a sought-after expert in science and politics. At our locations in Karlsruhe and Hamburg, specialists with a wide range of expertise work under one roof. The BAW is the largest and most efficient consultancy and research facility for German transport water construction in the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV). The Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau is part of a 357,582 km2 career network consisting of over 40 authorities with around 24,000 employees. The Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau (BAW) is looking for one/one at the next possible time for the department of construction engineering, unit building materials, limited for 3 years:

The office is Karlsruhe. Reference code of tender 20260962_9339 The waterway infrastructure is undergoing change: digitization, sustainability and resource-saving construction also shape the future of water construction. At the same time, numerous waterworks require extensive refurbishment and replacement measures at the end of their planned service life. Digital and AI-based solutions are becoming increasingly important in light of increasing requirements and decreasing personnel capacities. You enable more efficient planning, construction and entertainment processes and support the development of climate-friendly building materials as well as sustainable construction. Transport water constructions are designed for life spans of 100 years. The requirements for the quality and durability of the components as well as the documentation and use of loadable building data are correspondingly high. The BAW therefore accompanies material selection, construction design and state evaluation with high scientific and technical expertise, from concrete testing in the laboratory and on construction sites to comprehensive construction studies. Large amounts of data are generated, the potential of which can only be used to a limited extent. With a modern building material information system, the BAW now provides the basis for intelligently maintaining, networking, efficiently evaluating and making it useful for sustainable operational and strategic decisions. This creates new perspectives for a sustainable waterway infrastructure, resilient ecological balance data and a clear added value for planning, construction and maintenance.

You contribute to the development of a building material information system and support the development of specialized databases for information generated in construction sites and in the laboratory. You actively shape a building material database and integrate sustainability-related aspects and assessment approaches. You develop and coordinate interfaces between the subdatabases within the building material information system. You design and implement interfaces to relevant databases in the BMV business area for networking building material information. You examine and evaluate the use of AI-based methods for intelligent research and reuse of building material data. You carry out demanding eco-balance studies at building material level and identify average and reference values in transport water construction, including sensitivity analyses. You write scientific publications, present research results at national and international specialist events and work in working groups. You actively participate in cross-departmental projects and voting on the subject of digitalisation and AI. You actively participate in cross-departmental projects and voting on sustainability.
