Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to support the design, engineering, coordination, and technical documentation of building, civil, and infrastructure projects. The role involves developing and reviewing structural designs, drawings, calculations, specifications, and technical submissions while coordinating closely with architectural, MEP, geotechnical, procurement, and project teams.

The Structural Engineer will also assess existing structures, support renovation and modification works, review temporary works, and ensure structural solutions meet applicable codes, project requirements, safety standards, and approved design criteria.

Key Responsibilities

Plan and execute structural engineering assignments independently, applying sound engineering judgment and established design methodologies.
Develop, review, and modify structural drawings, calculations, specifications, technical reports, schedules, and related engineering documentation.
Evaluate structural systems and components to verify their suitability, stability, strength, serviceability, and overall design performance.
Design and assess structural elements for buildings, heavy civil works, infrastructure, and related construction projects.
Establish and review structural design criteria, including material properties, geotechnical information, dead and live loads, wind actions, seismic effects, fire requirements, and other applicable design parameters.
Perform structural analysis and verify the adequacy of beams, columns, slabs, foundations, walls, connections, and other structural components.
Review loading arrangements and confirm that structural designs comply with relevant codes, standards, project specifications, and intended operational use.
Evaluate the effects of environmental and operational loading on structural elements and incorporate appropriate design solutions.
Assess the structural implications of temporary works, including formwork, tower crane foundations, temporary supports, construction loads, and associated structures.
Prepare engineering calculations and technical details for temporary and permanent structural works.
Coordinate with architects and other design disciplines to develop structurally sound solutions that align with architectural requirements and project objectives.
Coordinate structural requirements with MEP services to minimize clashes and ensure practical integration of building systems.
Develop safe, efficient, and constructible structural solutions while considering project cost, schedule, constructability, and applicable standards.
Prepare detailed structural shop drawings based on approved tender and design information for consultant review and approval.
Compare tender drawings with IFC documentation and identify structural scope changes, revisions, and potential commercial impacts.
Prepare clear technical reports highlighting significant drawing or design changes for review by the Technical Manager and relevant commercial personnel.
Develop and maintain material schedules and quantities for structural elements in accordance with project requirements and delivery timelines.
Prepare and contribute to technical submittals, method-related documentation, calculations, drawings, and engineering packages associated with structural works.
Review structural material and subcontractor technical offers received through procurement and verify compliance with project specifications, applicable codes, and approved design requirements.
Identify structural deficiencies, anomalies, or technical issues in existing or proposed structures and assess potential causes.
Recommend technically appropriate corrective or remedial solutions for identified structural issues.
Coordinate with consultants, clients, contractors, and other stakeholders on structural engineering matters.
Monitor engineering deliverables to ensure they are completed accurately and within agreed project schedules.
Support the implementation of HSE requirements, participate in safety initiatives, and contribute to incident reporting and corrective actions in accordance with company and integrated management system procedures.

Additional Responsibilities

Support technical reviews, design coordination meetings, and project engineering discussions.
Assist project teams with resolving structural design and construction-related technical issues.
Review engineering submissions and provide technical comments where required.
Support the evaluation of design changes, variations, and site-related structural requirements.
Maintain organized records of structural calculations, drawings, technical submissions, approvals, and revisions.
Contribute to improving structural design processes, technical standards, and engineering practices.
Perform other duties related to structural engineering as assigned by management.

Job Knowledge & Skills

Extensive knowledge of structural engineering principles and design practices.
Strong experience in building structures, heavy civil works, and infrastructure projects.
Ability to prepare and review structural calculations, engineering reports, drawings, specifications, and technical submissions.
Good understanding of structural design codes, standards, and accepted engineering practices.
Knowledge of structural analysis, loading requirements, foundations, structural materials, and construction methodologies.
Ability to assess structural defects or anomalies, determine potential causes, and recommend appropriate corrective measures.
Strong coordination skills with architectural, MEP, geotechnical, construction, procurement, and project teams.
Ability to communicate effectively with clients, consultants, contractors, and project stakeholders on structural matters.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, planning, and technical documentation skills.
Knowledge of structural design and drafting software is preferred.
ERP experience is an advantage; SAP functional knowledge is preferred where applicable to the position.
Good understanding of construction safety and HSE requirements.

Job Experience

Minimum total experience: 8 years.
Relevant structural engineering experience: 5 years or more.
GCC experience: 2 years is preferred.
Experience in building, heavy civil, infrastructure, or multidisciplinary construction projects is highly desirable.

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Professional engineering certification or relevant registration is an advantage.
Experience working with engineering consultants, contractors, or multidisciplinary project organizations is preferred.
Familiarity with regional construction standards and GCC project environments is beneficial.
