We are putting approximately 12,000 cubic feet of Gwalior sandstone onto a three-storey neoclassical house near Ahmedabad. Deep cornices, carved pediments, real rustication, chajjas. The stone is heavy and handset — not veneer, not rainscreen, not panels on rails.

The primary structure is a reinforced concrete frame. The wall is a cavity wall: stone outer leaf, cavity, blockwork inner leaf. The architect is British.

What we need

Essential
- BE / B.Tech Civil Engineering; ME / M.Tech Structures strongly preferred
- 8+ years, with substantial time on site, not only in a design office
- You must be able to read a structural calculation and know whether it is right. This is the core of the job.
- Working knowledge of IS 875 Part 3 and IS 1893, including provisions for non-structural components
- Ability to find the discrepancy between two sets of drawings from two consultants
- Comfortable with survey instruments and setting out
- Willing to say no to a contractor, in writing, and hold the position
- English, and Gujarati or Hindi

What will get you shortlisted




- Experience of heavy stone or masonry — dimension stone, temple, heritage, restoration, or conservation work. Stone that is cut, dressed and set by hand at real thickness.
- Background in the traditional stone ecosystem — BAPS, Sompura tradition, Akshardham-type carved stone programmes, ASI or heritage conservation
- Masonry design experience — Eurocode 6, IS 1905, or equivalent
- Post-installed anchor design and pull-out testing (BS 8539 or Indian practice)
- Exposure to BS 8298 or European stone standards
- Experience working with foreign consultants across time zones
- Classical or traditional architecture and its detailing

We do not expect anyone to have all of this. We expect a structural engineer who has been near heavy stone and wants to go deeper into it.

What this role is not
- You will not produce fixing designs or calculations. That belongs to the consultant, and their PI stands behind it.
- You
