Job description

Job Summary

The Lead Structural Engineer is responsible for leading the structural engineering scope of Digital EPC projects from concept and detailed design through procurement support, construction and final handover. The role ensures that buildings, equipment foundations, structural steel, reinforced concrete, raised-floor supports, equipment platforms, rooftop structures and associated systems are safe, compliant, constructible and aligned with the loading, resilience and operational requirements of mission-critical digital infrastructure.

The position provides discipline leadership for data centres, ICT facilities, telecommunications hubs, command-and-control environments, smart infrastructure and other technology-intensive developments. The Lead Structural Engineer coordinates engineers, designers, specialist consultants, vendors, construction teams and client representatives while managing interfaces with architecture, geotechnical, civil, mechanical cooling, electrical power, ICT and commissioning functions.

The role safeguards engineering quality through disciplined design governance, structural analysis, vibration and loading assessment, model coordination, constructability review and change control. It resolves complex engineering issues and ensures structural deliverables support equipment procurement, fabrication, installation sequencing, maintainability, expansion and operational handover.
