Job description

Civil & Structural Design Engineer

Do you enjoy working with cutting‑edge technology? Would you like to help shape the future of our global energy? Join our Team! Our Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) team provides industry‑leading products and services that optimize the extraction, production and processing of energy. We help a diverse range of customers across the value chain to reduce operating costs and improve productivity. Our team is responsible for the assembly of high‑quality and innovative products.

Partner with the best

We are seeking a motivated Civil & Structural Design Engineer to join our Plant & Module Engineering (PME) team in Bangalore and contribute to the development of plant facilities and modularized solutions for energy applications. This position offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects that support the energy transition through efficient, safe, and industrialised design approaches. As part of a dynamic engineering environment, you will support the design of structural systems and civil works associated with industrial plants, including steel structures, modules, buildings, foundations, underground networks, drainage systems, roadways, and site support. You will contribute to solutions that are integral to our plant layouts, with a focus on modularisation, constructability, and lifecycle performance. Working under the guidance of Lead and Senior Engineers, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure that designs are integrated, compliant, and aligned with project specifications, execution strategies, and customer requirements. The role offers strong exposure to global projects and a clear path to grow your technical depth within the civil and structural discipline.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Perform design, analysis, and verification of structural systems to ensure integrity, safety, and compliance with applicable codes and project specifications
• Develop engineering solutions for steel modules, platforms, pipe racks, structural steel frameworks, concrete foundations, and general civil works
• Prepare structural calculation reports, including lifting, transportation, and in‑place analyses for skids and modules, for review by senior engineers
• Create and maintain accurate design documentation, including drawings, engineering specifications, bills of materials, and design change requests
• Coordinate with designers and 3D modelling teams to ensure models and drawings reflect the approved design
• Participate in design and model reviews, and incorporate comments from internal reviewers, customers, and third parties
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (piping, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation) to optimise designs for manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Review supplier and vendor documents for civil and structural interfaces and technical compliance
• Provide technical support to manufacturing and site teams during fabrication, erection, and installation, addressing design‑related queries
• Support Quality teams in defining inspection and testing requirements for structural fabrication
• Contribute to design standardisation, digital tools, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives that reduce cost and lead time

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have a bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering or a related field; a master’s degree in Structural Engineering is an advantage
