Structural Engineer (Buildings / Infrastructure / Industrial Structures)

Overview:

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Structural Engineer to lead the analysis, design, and evaluation of structural systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. This role is responsible for ensuring structural safety, stability, durability, and code compliance across all phases of design and construction.

The Senior Structural Engineer serves as a technical authority, collaborating with architects, civil engineers, MEP engineers, contractors, and project stakeholders to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective structural solutions from concept through construction and handover.

Key Responsibilities:

Structural Design & Technical Leadership

  • Lead the structural design and analysis of reinforced concrete, steel, and composite structures

  • Develop safe, efficient, and economical structural systems for buildings and infrastructure

  • Review and approve structural drawings, calculations, and design methodologies

  • Ensure compliance with local building codes, seismic standards, wind load requirements, and international codes (e.g., ACI, AISC, Eurocodes)

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and drafting teams

  • Support value engineering and optimization of structural systems and materials

Structural Analysis & Engineering Calculations

  • Perform advanced structural analysis using industry-standard software

  • Evaluate loads including dead, live, seismic, wind, thermal, and environmental effects

  • Design structural components such as beams, columns, slabs, foundations, retaining walls, and frames

  • Assess structural integrity of existing buildings and propose strengthening or retrofitting solutions

  • Conduct peer reviews of structural designs and calculations for accuracy and compliance

Construction Support & Site Coordination

  • Provide technical support during construction phases to ensure design intent is properly executed

  • Review shop drawings, material submittals, and contractor proposals

  • Conduct site inspections to verify structural works and resolve on-site engineering issues

  • Collaborate with contractors and project teams to address design changes and field conditions

  • Ensure structural works comply with approved drawings and specifications

BIM & Multidisciplinary Coordination

  • Coordinate structural systems with architectural, civil, and MEP disciplines

  • Participate in BIM coordination meetings and clash detection reviews

  • Develop and manage structural models using AutoCAD, Revit Structure, and BIM platforms

  • Ensure integration of structural design within overall building systems

  • Resolve design conflicts during planning and construction stages

Materials, Safety & Compliance

  • Ensure structural designs meet safety factors and regulatory requirements

  • Review material specifications for concrete, steel, reinforcement, and composites

  • Apply relevant design standards (ACI, AISC, BS, Eurocode, or local equivalents)

  • Ensure durability, serviceability, and resilience of structural systems

  • Support QA/QC processes and structural safety audits

Documentation & Project Delivery

  • Prepare structural design reports, calculations, specifications, and BOQs

  • Maintain accurate project documentation, drawings, and revision records

  • Assist in preparation of tender documents and technical proposals

  • Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and design guidelines

  • Support project delivery from concept design through construction completion

Requirements:

  • 5–10+ years of experience in structural engineering design and analysis

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering

  • Strong knowledge of structural mechanics, material behavior, and load analysis

  • Proficiency in structural design software (e.g., ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD Pro)

  • Strong understanding of reinforced concrete and steel design principles

  • Knowledge of international building codes and structural standards

  • Experience in residential, commercial, industrial, or infrastructure projects

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical decision-making skills

Preferred (Nice-to-Have):

  • Licensed Structural or Civil Engineer (depending on jurisdiction)

  • Experience in seismic design and high-rise building projects

  • Familiarity with BIM workflows and Revit Structure

  • Knowledge of structural retrofitting, rehabilitation, and forensic engineering

  • Experience in infrastructure projects such as bridges, tunnels, or towers

  • Exposure to construction project management and site supervision

  • Strong background in peer review and independent design verification

  • Experience working in fast-paced consulting or contractor environments
