PAINPOINT: Client needs a seasoned structural engineer to assist with a modular building project for a site in Lae, Papua New Guinea. He has a complete 3D Revit model and needs the structural calculations and checks done (spans, rafters, beams, overall stability)
TOOLS EXPERTISE REQUIREMENT : Revit, analysis software for example ETABS, SPACE GASS, STAAD or SAP2000 (Tools Revit and analysis software licenses to be provided by the client)
Key responsibilities
- Perform structural calculations for the modular building, including loads, spans, rafters, beams, connections and overall stability.
- Review the existing 3D Revit model and drawings, and confirm the structure is sound against Australian standards.
- Assess site requirements (wind region, soil and ground conditions, site category) from the information the client provides, and calculate accordingly.
- Prepare clear calculation packages, mark-ups and design notes that the client's RPEQ can review and certify efficiently.
- Flag gaps, risks and missing information early, and propose solutions rather than waiting for instructions.
- Respond to RPEQ review comments and update calculations and drawings.
- Keep the client updated with regular progress reports and clear written communication.

Must-have requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, and a current Philippine PRC engineering license. Must be licensed and registered to sign off on all engineering calculations.
- At least 10 years of structural engineering experience (20 years preferred).
- Proven leader who takes initiative, thinks independently and drives work to completion without hand-holding.
- Demonstrated experience working fully remotely, delivering without close supervision.
- Hands-on experience with Australian or equivalent standards for loads, steel, concrete and timber. Australian standards used on this project include AS/NZS 1170 (actions and wind), AS 4100 (steel), AS 3600 (concrete) and AS 1720 (timber).
- Strong working knowledge of Revit and structural analysis software (for example ETABS, SPACE GASS, STAAD or SAP2000).
- Experience with modular, light-steel or timber-framed buildings.
- Excellent written and spoken English, with clear, concise reporting.
- Professional affiliations (Philippines): active membership in one or more of the following is a plus.

- ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE) register, if held
- Membership body for engineers in Australia is preferred
Preferred
- International project experience outside the Philippines, such as Papua New Guinea, Australia or New Zealand.
- Experience designing to the Australian National Construction Code (NCC) and in cyclonic or high-wind regions.
- Experience in a design-and-build, prefabrication or offsite construction environment.
- Registration or progress toward Engineers Australia (CPEng/NER) or RPEQ. This is an advantage, because sign-off stays with the client's RPEQ.
