Senior Structural Engineer

We are seeking a dynamic and highly experienced Senior Structural Engineer to serve as a technical cornerstone for our most ambitious projects. This pivotal role demands a seasoned expert capable of leading the structural design of complex high-rise and large-scale buildings, from conceptualization through to construction completion. The ideal candidate is a proactive engineer who will not only ensure the technical integrity and optimization of our designs but will also act as a dedicated mentor, responsible for developing the skills of our junior engineering talent. This position is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between the design office and the construction site, requiring a hands-on problem-solver who can provide decisive technical support and ensure seamless project execution in a fast-paced environment.

Design Leadership & Technical Oversight

• Lead the structural design process for complex, large-scale projects including high-rise mixed-use towers, residential complexes, hotels, and industrial facilities.

• Perform demanding reviews and provide final approval on all structural design documents, including technical reports, calculations, specifications, and construction drawings to ensure accuracy, feasibility, and compliance.

• Direct and coordinate the checking of plans and specifications for conformance with relevant international codes (e.g., ACI, Eurocode, IBC) and local building regulations.2

• Conduct comprehensive value engineering analyses on structural systems and details to optimize for cost, constructability, and performance without compromising design integrity or safety.

• Develop safe and efficient structural solutions and undertake advanced design analysis for a variety of reinforced concrete, steel, and timber structures.

• Manage and respond to all structural Requests for Information (RFIs) in a timely and decisive manner, providing clear, actionable solutions to prevent project delays.

• Conduct periodic site inspections to verify compliance with design specifications, assess structural integrity during construction, and proactively identify and mitigate potential issues.

• Liaise effectively with clients, architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines to ensure a seamless, integrated, and collaborative project delivery approach.

• Oversee and review construction materials and methodologies to ensure alignment with design requirements and quality standards.

Leadership & Team Management:

• Develop and implement training programs and best-practice workflows to enhance the technical capabilities and efficiency of the structural engineering team.

• Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning within the team, promoting knowledge sharing and collective problem-solving.

Requirements

Hard skills and experience:

• Master's Degree in Structural Engineering.

• A minimum of ten (10) years of progressive, post-graduate experience in the structural design of large-scale buildings is required.4

• Demonstrated track record in designing a diverse portfolio of structures, including high-rise residential/mixed-use buildings, hotels, and industrial facilities.

• Expert-level knowledge of both reinforced concrete (including precast and post-tensioned systems) and structural steel design methodologies.

• Proven experience in the design and analysis of deep foundations, including various piling systems.

• Proficiency in the application of structural engineering principles and technologies is essential.

• Software Proficiency: Expert-level is required in AutoCAD, ETABS / SAP2000, SAFE, Revit (Structural Modeling & Detailing), PROKON, PROTA STRUCTURE.

Soft skills:

• Leadership & Mentorship: Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and inspire junior technical staff, fostering their professional development.

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Problem-Solving: Advanced analytical and critical thinking skills, with a proven ability to solve complex engineering problems under pressure and make sound decisions.

• Stakeholder Management: Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills for effective collaboration with clients, architects, contractors, and internal teams.

• Project Management: Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, delegate effectively, and meet tight deadlines.

• Result-Oriented: A proactive and driven individual with a strong focus on delivering high-quality, accurate, and efficient outcomes.5

• Attention to Detail: Meticulous and rigorous in all aspects of design, review, and documentation, with a commitment to technical excellence.5

• Team Player: A collaborative spirit, comfortable working autonomously but fundamentally committed to the team's collective success and goals.4

• High Energy & Strong Work Ethic: Demonstrates resilience, a hands-on approach, and a commitment to excellence, ready to take ownership of challenges and drive them to resolution.
