Job Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering or a related engineering discipline from a recognised institution.

Minimum three years of relevant experience in civil, structural and/or geotechnical design.

Strong technical competence in one or more of these disciplines, with the ability to coordinate design interfaces across the others.

Sound knowledge of structural engineering, soil mechanics, foundation engineering, retaining structures and slope stability, relevant to the assigned work.

Ability to interpret site investigation findings, laboratory test results, engineering drawings and technical specifications.

Proficiency in AutoCAD and relevant engineering analysis and design software.

Experience with geotechnical software such as PLAXIS, GeoStudio or GEO5 will be an advantage. Knowledge of Revit, Civil 3D or structural analysis software will also be beneficial.

Familiarity with relevant Malaysian engineering standards, codes of practice and authority submission requirements.

Registration with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) is preferred. Professional Engineer status or an equivalent professional qualification will be an added advantage.

Strong analytical, problem-solving and technical report-writing skills, with good attention to detail.
