Job Description

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.
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).

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.

Desired Candidate Profile:

• 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.
• Certification or familiarity with LEED standards or sustainability practices is a plus.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills for engaging with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams.
