Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities of a Design Engineer

1. Conceptual and Detailed Design:

• Create structural designs and layouts using software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks.
• Ensure designs meet project requirements, safety standards, and applicable codes (e.g., ASCE, AISC, or EN 1090).
• Develop fabrication-ready shop drawings with detailed welds, bolt locations, and cut lengths.

2. Structural Analysis and Calculations:

• Perform calculations for stress, deflection, and load-bearing capacity to ensure safety and compliance.
• Optimize designs for material utilization while maintaining structural integrity.
• Analyze connections for bolted, welded, or hybrid assemblies.

3. Material Selection:

• Determine suitable steel grades (e.g., ASTM A36, A572, or EN 10025) for specific projects.
• Evaluate material properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, and corrosion resistance.

4. Coordination with Fabrication Teams:

• Work with production teams to ensure designs are practical for fabrication.
• Address issues related to machining, welding, cutting, and assembly processes.
• Ensure accurate transfer of design intent to fabrication drawings.

5. Standards and Compliance:

• Adhere to local and international standards (e.g., ISO 9001, AWS D1.1 for welding, or AISC Steel Construction Manual).
• Conduct reviews to ensure compliance with quality and safety protocols.

6. Cost and Time Optimization:

• Collaborate with project managers to balance cost efficiency and design effectiveness.
• Propose alternative solutions to reduce material waste and production time.

7. Quality Assurance:

• Review designs to minimize errors and clashes during assembly.
• Ensure proper documentation for quality control and client approvals.

8. Client and Consultant Interaction:

• Translate client requirements into engineering designs.
• Present design concepts and resolve queries during the approval process.

9. Innovation and Problem-Solving:

• Integrate innovative solutions like lightweight structures or advanced coatings for durability.
• Solve real-time challenges during the fabrication and erection phases.

10. Site and Erection Support:

• Provide technical support during installation and ensure alignment with design intent.
• Modify designs, if necessary, based on site conditions or client feedback.
