• Prepares technical reports, calculation notes, structural drawings, models and design recommendations, ensuring quality, traceability, accuracy and consistency with Australian standards and engineering best practices.
• Supervises structural construction activities on site, verifying demolitions, steel erection, formwork installation, reinforcement steel placement and concrete pours, ensuring compliance with drawings, technical specifications, ITPs and quality and safety standards.
• Reviews, approves and audits ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans) or NCR's (Non-Conformance Reports) for industrial and port projects, validating structural engineering compliance, load-transfer sequencing, structural tolerances, reinforcement placement requirements and conformance with the original design assumptions and specifications.
• Coordinates with contractors, suppliers and multidisciplinary teams, resolving technical issues, responding to RFIs and ensuring correct implementation of structural design criteria during project execution.
• Applies structural optimisation criteria, evaluating design alternatives, material efficiency and costs, ensuring safe, feasible solutions aligned with Australian standards.
