The Structural Design Engineer is responsible for producing comprehensive structural designs and BIM engineering outputs, with a focus on bridges and geotechnical structures using Tekla Structures. The role involves developing accurate 3D structural models, preparing detailed engineering drawings, and incorporating structural details from conceptual design through to final design and construction documentation.
The Structural Design Engineer will work closely with project managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to establish project requirements, determine appropriate technical approaches, and ensure the timely delivery of high-quality design outputs. The role also involves performing material quantity takeoffs, reviewing structural models and drawings, and ensuring compliance with applicable engineering standards and project specifications.
This position will be assigned to our Bridge Department.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Collaborate with project managers, structural engineers, and other stakeholders to define project requirements, design objectives, and technical deliverables for bridge and geotechnical structure projects.
- Utilize Tekla Structures to develop detailed 3D structural models for bridges and geotechnical structures, covering both concrete and steel components.
- Prepare structural drawings, detailing, and BIM engineering outputs from conceptual design through final design and construction documentation.
- Develop concrete and reinforcement models, including rebar detailing, reinforcement layouts, connections, and other structural components.
- Create and customize Tekla components, templates, and modeling standards to improve design efficiency and consistency.
- Prepare detailed structural drawings, sections, elevations, and construction details based on engineering design requirements.
- Perform material quantity takeoffs (MTO) for structural elements, including concrete, reinforcing steel, structural steel, and other construction materials.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary design teams to ensure proper integration of structural models with other engineering disciplines.
- Participate in project discussions and technical reviews to identify design issues, resolve modeling conflicts, and recommend appropriate engineering solutions.
- Perform quality checks and reviews of Tekla models, drawings, and documentation to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with project standards.
- Ensure timely completion of assigned design tasks in accordance with project schedules and quality requirements.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering.
- Minimum of 5 to 7 years of relevant working experience in structural design and BIM modeling using Tekla Structures.
- Must have extensive experience in Tekla Structures, particularly in concrete modeling and reinforcement (rebar) detailing.
- Experience in structural modeling and detailing of bridges and geotechnical structures is an advantage.
- Knowledge and experience in both concrete and steel structural modeling.
- Ability to perform material quantity takeoffs (MTO).
- Knowledge of MicroStation, Civil 3D, or OpenRoads is an advantage.
- Can effectively communicate in English, both oral and written.
- Must be willing to work in the Ortigas, San Juan office.
