Job Type: Full-time

Sr. Structural Design Engineer – Design TeamLocation: Chennai | Experience: 5–10 Years | Type: Full-Time, OnsiteRole OverviewWe are looking for a Sr. Structural Design Engineer to lead the structural design and analysis of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) systems within our design team. You will own the end-to-end design of steel and RCC elements — from initial concept and code compliance through to fabrication drawings, BOMs, and erection-ready documentation — ensuring every structure is buildable, cost-efficient, and manufacturable with minimum on-site skill dependency.Role in the Team- Report to the Lead Engineer – Design and collaborate closely with the BIM Lead, estimation, procurement, and site erection teams.- Serve as the primary structural authority on assigned PEB projects — owning design calculations, code compliance, and drawing approvals.- Guide and review the work of junior design engineers and detailers, maintaining quality and consistency across deliverables.- Represent structural engineering in project coordination meetings, design reviews, and third-party/IITM validation submissions.- Collaborate with the BIM Lead to ensure structural models, shop drawings, and BOMs are accurate and fabrication-ready.- Champion DFMA principles within the team — designing for minimum-skill manufacturing and on-site erection at scale.Key ResponsibilitiesStructural Design & Analysis- Design and analyse PEB steel structures, LGSF systems, and RCC elements in compliance with IS 800, IS 875, IS 456, and IS 1893.- Apply DFMA principles to optimise designs for effective factory fabrication, module assembly, and on-site erection.- Prepare and review structural calculations, connection designs,



anchor bolt layouts, and foundation interface details.- Coordinate with architects and MEP engineers to integrate structural solutions with overall building design.Documentation & BOM- Develop detailed structural BOMs specifying all steel and RCC components with quantities aligned to procurement needs.- Produce clear fabrication drawings with dimensions, tolerances, weld specifications, bolt-hole locations, and surface treatment requirements.- Collaborate with the BIM team to extract model-based BOQs and ensure zero mismatch between design, procurement, and site quantities.- Support the estimation team with approximate superstructure and substructure quantities at the tendering stage.Quality, Approvals & Site Coordination- Prepare and submit structural design documents for vetting by IITM or other designated approval bodies; address review commentspromptly.- Specify steel grades and certifications; review mill certificates to ensure materials meet IS standards.- Collaborate with the BIM Lead on detailed erection drawings covering erection sequence, bolt tightening, and lifting procedures.- Conduct site inspections during erection to verify compliance with drawings; maintain QC documentation for inspections and non-conformances.Process & Continuous Improvement- Contribute to and maintain design SOPs,



standard calculation templates, and drawing checklists for the PEB design team.- Identify and implement value engineering opportunities to improve project margins without compromising structural integrity.- Stay current with advances in PEB technology, modular construction methods, and updates to relevant IS codes.Required QualificationsEducation- B.E. / B.Tech in Civil or Structural Engineering (mandatory). M.E. / M.Tech in Structural Engineering is strongly preferred.- Familiarity with ISO 19650 and COBie standards is an advantage.Technical Skills- Proficiency in STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, or ETABS for structural analysis and design.- Strong knowledge of PEB systems: primary rigid frames, secondary members, bracing, purlins, girts, eave struts, and connection detailing.- Working knowledge of BIM tools — Revit or Tekla Structures — for model review and structural coordination.- Understanding of DFMA and PFMEA principles for prefabricated and modular construction.- Proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D drawing production and shop drawing review.- Familiarity with welding standards (AWS/IS 7215) and fabrication QC procedures.Experience & Mindset- 5–10 years of experience in structural/PEB design, with at least 2 years on PEB or prefab/modular construction projects.- Proven track record delivering structural designs from concept through fabrication and erection on steel structure projects.- High attention to detail, strong documentation discipline, and a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset.- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with overlapping project demands and cross-functional teams.
