Structural Engineer

Roles and responsibilities

• Structural Design: Develop detailed structural designs for buildings and infrastructure projects based on architectural plans and project requirements. Ensure designs comply with relevant building codes, standards, and regulations.
• Structural Analysis: Use engineering software and mathematical modeling to perform complex structural analyses, evaluating the strength, stability, and performance of structural components and systems.
• Material Selection: Determine appropriate materials for construction based on structural requirements, cost considerations, and sustainability factors.
• Construction Oversight: Collaborate with architects, construction teams, and other professionals to oversee the implementation of structural designs during the construction phase. Provide technical guidance and address any design-related issues that may arise.
• Safety and Compliance: Ensure that all structural elements meet safety standards and are compliant with building codes and regulations. Conduct thorough inspections and assessments to identify potential risks and structural deficiencies.
• Technical Drawings: Create detailed technical drawings and specifications for construction teams to follow during the building process.
• Project Management: Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring that deadlines and budgets are met while maintaining quality and safety standards.
• Problem-Solving: Analyze and address engineering challenges during the design and construction phases, proposing efficient and effective solutions.
• Continuous Learning: Stay updated with the latest advancements in structural engineering practices, materials, and technologies to enhance design efficiency and safety.
• Provide technical advice to managers and staff on all aspects of civil engineering relating to the department’s operations.
• Carry out any required site visits and inspections to determine the Structural engineering aspects of planned works.
• Carry out feasibility studies for major and minor works and recommend new projects as department’s plan.
• Direct and control civil engineering projects to ensure that they are completed to the standards required within agreed timescales and to the agreed budget level.
• Maintain regular contact with other professionals and staff involved in large engineering projects to ensure that there is effective overall coordination.
• Prepare reports on the Structure engineering aspects of projects to ensure that decisions are based on the best possible information and take account of all resource implications and time and budgetary constraints.
• Maintain knowledge of modern civil engineering techniques and processes and recommend any new systems that will enhance the effectiveness of the Structural engineering function especially for old buildings.
