Job Description: Senior Engineer / Engineer - Structural Design

Department: Structural Design
Reports To: Design Head / Design Manager / Senior Design Manager
Employment Type: Full-time

Role Summary

The Senior Engineer / Engineer - Structural Design is responsible for the analysis, design, modelling, and detailing of steel structures for industrial projects. The role involves preparing accurate structural models and drawings, performing engineering calculations, selecting suitable materials, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, and providing technical support during fabrication and installation.

The position requires close collaboration with design, mechanical, fabrication, project, and site teams to deliver safe, reliable, cost-effective, and constructible engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Structural Design and Analysis

- Develop safe, efficient, and cost-effective structural designs for industrial steel projects.
- Perform structural analysis and engineering calculations for loads, pressures, stresses, deflections, and stability.
- Design structural components, including beams, columns, bracing systems, foundations, platforms, and other supporting structures.
- Conduct design checks and validate calculations in accordance with applicable engineering codes and project requirements.
- Review existing structures and recommend repairs, strengthening, renovation, or seismic-retrofitting solutions where required.

Modelling and Detailing

- Prepare detailed 2D drawings and 3D structural models using TEKLA and AutoCAD.
- Develop general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, shop drawings, and erection drawings.
- Coordinate structural models with mechanical equipment, piping, and other engineering disciplines.
- Use Inventor and Navisworks for multidisciplinary coordination, model review, and clash detection.
- Ensure all drawings and models are accurate, complete, constructible, and issued according to the project schedule.

Technical Review and Improvement

- Investigate structural design failures, identify root causes,



and implement effective corrective and preventive improvements.
- Review designs, models, calculations, and drawings for technical accuracy and compliance.
- Support design optimisation to improve structural performance, manufacturability, installation efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
- Stay updated on industry trends, engineering standards, design practices, and emerging technologies.
- Recommend and implement improved design tools, methods, and processes.

Material Selection and Engineering Support

- Select appropriate materials, such as steel, concrete, timber, or masonry, based on strength, durability, availability, and cost.
- Apply knowledge of steel fabrication processes, equipment interfaces, and installation techniques during design development.
- Provide technical clarifications and engineering support to fabrication, procurement, quality, project, and installation teams.
- Resolve design-related issues arising during manufacturing, fabrication, and site installation.

Site Inspection and Compliance

- Conduct site visits and inspections to verify construction progress and adherence to approved drawings and specifications.
- Identify and resolve technical issues encountered during fabrication, erection, and installation.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable local, national, and international codes and standards, including ASME, ANSI, BIS, and relevant structural-design standards.
- Ensure compliance with organisational health, safety, quality, and engineering requirements.

Required Skills and Competencies

- Strong knowledge of structural steel design principles and engineering practices.




- Proven experience in the design of steel structures for industrial projects.
- Expert knowledge of structural analysis software such as STAAD.Pro and Robot Structural Analysis.
- Proficiency in TEKLA Structures for 2D detailing and 3D modelling.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, Inventor, and Navisworks.
- Ability to interpret mechanical, structural, fabrication, and CAD drawings.
- In-depth understanding of equipment interfaces, fabrication processes, and installation techniques.
- Working knowledge of relevant industry codes and standards, including ASME, ANSI, and BIS.
- Robust analytical, numerical, and problem-solving abilities.
- Ability to investigate design failures and perform root-cause analysis.
- Strong communication, coordination, and collaboration skills.
- Ability to manage multiple assignments and work within project timelines.
- Knowledge of tall steel structures, particularly industrial steel stacks, will be preferred.

Educational Qualifications and Experience

Candidates should meet either of the following criteria:

Degree Holders

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Structural Engineering.
- 8-10 years of experience in the engineering or manufacturing industry.
- At least 5 years of experience in a structural design department.

Diploma Holders

- Diploma in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
- 18-20 years of experience in the engineering or manufacturing industry.
- At least 10-12 years of experience in a steel-structure design department.

Preferred Experience

- Structural design experience in engineering, manufacturing, or heavy-industrial projects.
- Experience designing industrial steel structures, platforms, equipment-support structures, and tall structures.
- Exposure to steel-stack design, fabrication, erection, and installation.
- Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering and site-execution teams.
