• Perform and review structural calculations for gravity, lateral, seismic, wind, thermal, fatigue, and other applicable loading conditions.
• Design and review steel members, frames, trusses, bracing systems, connections, base plates, anchor bolts, and other structural components.
• Develop design criteria, structural schemes, load paths, design calculations, specifications, and engineering reports.
• Review and approve structural steel drawings, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, connection details, material specifications, and technical submittals.
• Utilize advanced structural analysis and design software to develop efficient, safe, and constructible solutions.
• Ensure design interfaces are properly coordinated with foundations, concrete structures, architectural elements, equipment, and building services.

• Ensure steel structure designs comply with applicable local, national, and international codes and standards, including AISC, ASCE, Eurocodes, BS standards, AWS, and other project-specific requirements.
• Interpret project specifications, client requirements, design criteria, and applicable regulatory standards.
• Ensure structural systems meet strength, stability, serviceability, durability, fire protection, constructability, and performance requirements.
• Review design assumptions, calculations, models, drawings, and specifications for technical accuracy and compliance.
• Support the preparation and resolution of technical deviations, design clarifications, and engineering change notices.

• Lead design reviews, interdisciplinary coordination reviews, constructability reviews, value engineering exercises, and risk assessments.
• Implement quality control procedures to maintain the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of engineering deliverables.
• Review engineering deliverables prepared by internal teams, consultants, fabricators, and subcontractors.
• Identify potential design issues, clashes, constructability constraints, and risks, and develop practical mitigation measures.
• Ensure all technical documentation is completed in accordance with project quality management procedures.

• Coordinate with steel fabricators and contractors regarding fabrication methods, connection details, tolerances, material requirements, and erection sequencing.
• Review fabrication and erection drawings, material certificates, welding procedures, inspection and testing requirements, and nonconformance reports.
