Job description

Mission/Core of Purpose of the Job:

The Facade Structural Engineer is responsible for providing structural analysis (FEM) Calculations, and design solutions for facade systems. This role ensures the structural integrity of the building's exterior, from cladding and glazing to other facade components, while adhering to industry standards, safety regulations, and project specifications. You will work closely with architects, designers, and project teams to ensure that the facade systems are designed effectively and efficiently, with a focus on quality and sustainability.

Key Tasks:

• Perform structural calculations and analysis for facade systems, ensuring compliance with project specifications, local building codes, and industry standards.
• Work with architects, facade designers, and other engineering teams to integrate structural requirements into the overall building design, ensuring seamless coordination and integration of facade systems.
• Translating building movements into façade design requirements.
• Assist in selecting appropriate materials for facade systems based on structural integrity, sustainability, and cost considerations.
• Provide thermal and environmental calculations, ensuring that facade systems meet performance criteria such as energy efficiency, acoustic performance, and weather resistance.
• Prepare and review technical documentation, including detailed sketches/drawings, calculations, and specifications. Ensure that all documents are accurate, clear, and comply with project requirements.
• Ensure that all facade systems comply with local and international building codes, regulations, and standards. Conduct performance testing and analysis to verify the facade systems' integrity.
• Resolve complex technical issues related to facade engineering, providing solutions for challenges during design, manufacturing, and installation phases.
