Job description

We are seeking a skilled Structural Design Engineer with a strong background in structural design and expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM). The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating, analyzing, and optimizing structural designs for various projects while integrating BIM methodologies to ensure design accuracy and efficiency. With 2-4 years of relevant experience, you will work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative structural solutions for projects in sectors like commercial, residential, infrastructure, or industrial.

Responsibilities

• Develop, review, and optimize structural designs using engineering principles and industry best practices.
• Perform detailed structural analysis to ensure that designs meet safety, load, and performance standards.
• Work on the design of structures using materials like concrete, steel, and composite materials in compliance with local and international codes (e.g., ACI, AISC, Eurocode).
• Create and manage 3D models of structural elements using BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Tekla, Navisworks).
• Collaborate with architects, MEP engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth integration of structural elements into the overall design model.
• Conduct clash detection, coordination, and resolve design conflicts using BIM methodologies.
• Ensure that BIM models are accurate, up to date, and compliant with project requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure that all structural designs comply with applicable regulations, codes, and standards.
• Review and validate design outputs and calculations, ensuring the accuracy of designs produced.
• Perform site visits as required to ensure that construction activities align with structural design and specifications.
• Work closely with project managers, architects, and other engineers (civil, MEP) to deliver coordinated and efficient project designs.
• Participate in project meetings and design review sessions to discuss design challenges, propose solutions, and ensure the timely delivery of project milestones.
• Liaise with contractors and clients to address design-related issues and provide technical guidance during the construction phase.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering. A Master’s degree in Structural Engineering or related field is an advantage.
• Minimum of 2-4 years of experience in structural design and BIM for medium to large-scale engineering or construction projects.
• Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such as ETABS, SAFE, STAAD.Pro, or similar.
• Advanced proficiency in BIM tools such as Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD, Navisworks, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of building codes, structural standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Experience in the design of concrete, steel, and composite structures.
