• Design drainage systems to manage water flow and prevent pooling or flooding.

4. Structural Analysis

• Perform structural analysis to ensure stability, durability, and safety under operational and environmental conditions.
• Incorporate seismic design principles to mitigate risks from earthquakes.

5. Regulatory Compliance

• Ensure designs comply with Singapore’s building codes, safety standards, and environmental regulations.
• Prepare and submit technical documentation and reports for regulatory approvals.

6. Collaboration and Project Management

• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, and project engineers.
• Coordinate with contractors, architects, and third-party consultants during construction.
• Oversee site inspections to ensure design adherence and quality control.

7. Innovation and Optimization

• Evaluate new materials and methods for cost-effective and sustainable design solutions.
• Optimize designs for energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

Requirements:

• Master/Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 5 years of experience in structural engineering, with a focus on underground or energy-related projects.
• Proven track record of foundational design, geotechnical assessments, and waterproofing strategies.
• Proficiency in structural analysis software (e.g., SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD Pro).
• Knowledge of geotechnical analysis tools and methods.
• Knowledge of Singapore’s building codes and construction standards.
• Strong project management and communication skills.
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) certification preferred.
