Project: Burj Azizi - 134 floors

Location : Dubai, sheikh zayed road

Key Responsibilities:

1. Structural Design and Analysis:

• Lead the development and review of structural designs for super high-rise buildings, including foundations, cores, and load-bearing systems.
• Perform advanced structural analysis to evaluate the effects of wind, seismic forces, and other dynamic loads specific to tall buildings.
• Optimize designs for efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness using advanced tools and software.

2. Compliance and Standards:

• Ensure all structural designs comply with UAE regulations, international standards (e.g., Eurocode, ACI, BS), and project specifications.
• Coordinate with local authorities for design approvals and adherence to building codes.

3. Construction Oversight:

• Provide technical leadership during the construction phase, ensuring structural elements are built per design and specifications.
• Conduct site inspections to verify compliance with design requirements and address construction challenges.
• Collaborate with contractors to resolve on-site issues related to structural elements.

4. Project Management and Collaboration:

• Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, geotechnical specialists, and contractors to integrate structural designs with other project disciplines.
• Participate in design coordination meetings to address project challenges and ensure alignment across teams.
• Prepare and present technical reports, feasibility studies, and design reviews to stakeholders.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such as ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000, AutoCAD, Revit, or Tekla Structures.
• Expertise in wind tunnel testing, seismic design, and dynamic structural analysis.
• Strong understanding of advanced construction techniques, materials (e.g., steel, concrete composites), and geotechnical considerations for tall structures.

5. Value Engineering and Risk Management:

• Identify cost-saving opportunities through value engineering without compromising on safety or performance.
• Assess and mitigate structural risks associated with design and construction in high-rise projects.

6. Research and Innovation:

• Stay updated on the latest advancements in structural engineering, materials, and construction technologies relevant to high-rise buildings.
• Recommend innovative materials or construction techniques (e.g., modular construction, high-performance concrete, or composite materials).

Key Challenges:

• Addressing dynamic loading conditions (e.g., wind, seismic forces) unique to super high-rise buildings.
• Managing complex interfaces between structural systems and architectural or MEP designs.
• Balancing cost-efficiency with the structural integrity and safety of large-scale projects.
• Ensuring compliance with diverse local and international codes while meeting tight project schedules.

Education and Certifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).
• Professional accreditation (e.g., PE, CEng, or SE) is required.
• Strong leadership and team management abilities.
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to address complex structural challenges.

Role Specific Qualifications & Training:

• Minimum 12–15 years of experience in structural engineering, with at least 5 years specializing in super high-rise buildings (projects exceeding 50 stories or 200 meters).
• Extensive experience in the UAE or GCC construction industry, with knowledge of local regulations and construction practices.
