Job Title : Facade Engineer - Architectural Stone Cladding & Restraint

Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat (site-based) Employment Type : Full time Experience : 6-12 years

About the Role

We are constructing a large private neoclassical residence in Ahmedabad featuring approximately 12,000 cubic feet of dressed natural sandstone — domes, cornices, column capitals, balustrades, and full ashlar facing — designed by a leading UK architectural practice. We are seeking an owner's-side Facade Engineer to own the stone-to-structure interface: anchor and restraint design, fixing systems, water management, and execution quality for the entire stone envelope. This is a hands-on technical role, not a glazing or curtain-wall position.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and/or review anchor and restraint systems for dressed stone elements — cornices, balustrades, capitals, domes, parapets, and ashlar facing — under both gravity and seismic loading
- Verify stone thickness, spans, and fixing details against the architect's profiles and Indian codes (IS 1893 seismic, IS 875, relevant masonry/cladding standards)
- Detail movement joints, support brackets, dowels/cramps, and cavity drainage / water management behind the stone
- Independently review and approve the stone contractor's proposed fixing methodology and shop drawings




- Coordinate the stone-fixing design with the structural engineer (cast-in items, tolerances, edge distances) and the executive architect
- Conduct site inspections during stone fixing; enforce installation quality, restraint compliance, and tolerance control
- Flag risks early and maintain fixing/anchor schedules and method statements

Required Qualifications

- B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering, or M.Tech/M.E. in Structural Engineering
- Demonstrable experience in natural / dimension stone cladding — dry-fixed stone, mechanical anchoring, ventilated stone facades (not adhesive/wet-set veneer only)
- Working knowledge of stainless-steel fixing systems (dowels, cramps, restraint angles, brackets) and stone anchor design
- Familiarity with seismic design requirements for heavy cladding (IS 1893)
- Ability to read and interpret architectural detail drawings and produce/check fixing shop drawings

Strongly Preferred

- Experience on heritage, classical, temple, institutional, or monumental stone projects
- Exposure to international standards (CWCT, ASTM C1242, or equivalent stone-cladding practice)
- Experience working alongside an international architectural practice or executive architect
- Sandstone / limestone projects specifically

Pay: Up to ₹100,000.00 per month

Work Location: In person
