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. RequirementsHard 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.
