Manager - Structural Engineering

We are seeking an experienced Structural Engineering Manager to lead the design, analysis and optimisation of solar mounting structures across diverse geographies. The role owns structural design delivery and quality, ensuring designs are safe, cost-efficient and compliant with Indian codes, and with Eurocodes and U.S. standards where required. The candidate will build, lead and develop a team of structural engineers and designers, combining hands-on technical authority in STAAD modelling and code compliance with people leadership, project coordination and client-facing accountability.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and Analysis of Mounting Structures:

- Lead the design and analysis of solar mounting structures using STAAD, ensuring structural integrity, safety and compliance with applicable codes.
- Oversee load analysis, including wind, seismic and snow loads, for project locations across India and, where applicable, to Eurocode or U.S. standards.
- Drive design optimisation for structural stability, durability and cost efficiency based on site-specific requirements, and coordinate foundation inputs with geotechnical and civil teams.

Code Compliance, Quality and Documentation:

- Ensure designs comply with Indian standards (IS 800, IS 801, IS 456, IS 875) and relevant wind and seismic guidelines; apply Eurocodes and American standards (ASCE 7, AISC) for projects outside India.
- Review and approve structural analysis reports, engineering drawings and specifications, and run quality checks and peer reviews to ensure accuracy and safety.
- Keep design practices current with industry trends, material advancements and best practices for solar structures.

Project Coordination and Stakeholder Management:

- Act as the structural point of contact for project teams, clients and vendors,



incorporating site-specific needs and client specifications.
- Support field teams and resolve on-site structural issues promptly; coordinate with electrical, procurement and manufacturing teams for seamless project integration.

Team Leadership and Management:

- Hire, onboard and develop a team of structural engineers and designers; build a clear structure, roles and succession within the team.
- Plan resources across multiple concurrent projects, set priorities, and deliver to agreed schedule, quality and budget.
- Set clear goals, give regular feedback, conduct appraisals, and mentor engineers towards greater technical ownership.
- Establish design standards, templates, calculation formats and review checklists, and drive automation of repetitive tasks to improve team productivity.
- Foster a culture of accountability, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement, integrating field and client feedback into design enhancements.

Skill Requirements

- At least 8 years of experience in structural design, including at least 3 years on solar mounting structures.
- At least 2–3 years of experience leading or supervising a team of engineers.
- Expert proficiency in STAAD for structural analysis; working knowledge of AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
- Strong knowledge of Indian codes (IS 800, IS 801, IS 456, IS 875) and seismic and wind design codes.
- Explicit written and spoken English, strong review and reporting skills, structured problem-solving and a strong ownership mindset.
- Preferred (not mandatory): experience with Eurocodes or U.S. standards (ASCE, AISC), Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) design, and tracker or rooftop structures.

Education

- Bachelor of Engineering / B.Tech in Civil or Structural Engineering required, Master of Engineering / M.Tech in Structural Engineering preferred

Industry

- Renewables – Solar mounting structures, or Pre-Engineered Buildings / steel structures
