Key Responsibilities

• Perform structural analysis and design using tools such as ETABS, SAP2000, RAM Structural System, Revit, and AutoCAD.
• Develop detailed design drawings, calculation packages, and specification documents for review by senior engineers, clients, and regulatory authorities.
• Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, geotechnical specialists, and construction teams to resolve design conflicts, optimize material usage, and ensure constructability.
• Conduct virtual site‑visit reviews and, when necessary, assist with in‑person inspections to verify that construction adheres to design intent and quality standards.
• Stay current with building codes and standards (ACI, AISC, Eurocode, IBC, local jurisdictional requirements) and integrate emerging sustainable design practices such as low‑carbon concrete and timber structures.
• Assist in preparing project proposals, cost estimates, risk assessments, and value‑engineering studies to support business development efforts.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct internal knowledge‑sharing sessions, and contribute to continuous improvement of our design processes and quality management system.
• Participate in interdisciplinary BIM coordination meetings, ensuring accurate model integration and clash detection across disciplines.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility to obtain one within 12 months.
• Minimum 3 years of progressive experience in structural design for building or infrastructure projects, with exposure to both gravity and lateral load systems.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and maintain high standards of accuracy under minimal supervision.
• Experience working in a distributed or remote team environment is a strong plus.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with structural analysis software including ETABS, SAP2000, RAM Structural System, or similar platforms.
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks for drafting, modeling, and coordination.
• Familiarity with BIM workflows and collaboration tools such as BIM 360, Trimble Connect, or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
• Experience with spreadsheet‑based calculations and scripting (Excel VBA, Python, or MATLAB) for automation of repetitive tasks is advantageous.
• Understanding of construction methods, materials, and detailing practices for concrete, steel, timber, and masonry systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development, including pursuit of relevant certifications (e.g., LEED AP, SE).
