  • Perform structural analysis using computer-aided design (CAD) software and finite element
    analysis (FEA) tools to evaluate the behavior and performance of structural elements under
    different loading conditions.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable building codes, regulations, and industry standards in all
    structural designs and calculations.
  • Provide technical support during the construction phase, including reviewing shop drawings,
    responding to requests for information (RFIs), and conducting site inspections to verify
    compliance with design specifications.
  • Collaborate with architects, other engineers, and project stakeholders to develop integrated
    design solutions that meet project requirements and objectives.
  • Identify opportunities for value engineering to optimize structural designs and minimize
    construction costs while maintaining performance and safety standards.
  • Conduct peer reviews of structural designs and calculations to ensure accuracy, completeness,
    and adherence to best practices and standards.
  • Stay updated on industry trends, advancements in structural engineering technology, and
    changes in building codes and regulations to enhance knowledge and skills.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

  • Measure the accuracy of structural designs and calculations based on feedback from
  • construction teams and post-construction assessments.
  • Assess the ability to deliver structural designs within established timelines and budget
    constraints.
  • Ensure that all structural designs and calculations comply with relevant building codes and
    regulations without requiring significant revisions.
  • Solicit feedback from clients and project stakeholders regarding the quality and performance
    of structural engineering services provided.
  • Evaluate the introduction of innovative design solutions or value engineering initiatives to
    improve project outcomes and reduce costs.
  • Assess the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary project teams to achieve
    project objectives.

COMPETENCIES FOR THE ROLE

To be successful in the role the candidate would be required to demonstrate the following:

  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of structural engineering principles, practices,
  • and design codes, with proficiency in structural analysis software and CAD tools.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to assess complex structural
    challenges and develop innovative solutions.
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy and precision in
    structural designs and calculations.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to convey technical
    information effectively to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate with multidisciplinary
    teams.
  • Project Management: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and
    meet deadlines while maintaining quality and accuracy.
  • Teamwork: Collaborative mindset with the ability to work effectively as part of a
    multidisciplinary team and contribute to achieving project goals.
