VLJL Group seeks a hands-on Senior Structural Engineer to independently design and deliver complex timber and hybrid structures combining CLT, glulam, reinforced concrete and structural steel. This is an individual contributor role: the successful candidate must personally perform analysis, member and connection design, Revit modelling, detailing, documentation and multidisciplinary coordination, from concept to construction support. MANDATORY QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
• Master’s degree in Structural Engineering, or Civil Engineering with a Structural Engineering specialisation.
• More than 5 years of relevant professional structural engineering experience.
• At least 2 years of direct, hands-on timber structural design experience, including responsibility for timber connection calculations and detailing.
• Demonstrated experience with CLT, glulam and timber interfaces with concrete and steel.
• Proven project delivery experience in Europe, Italy and the United States, applying applicable structural codes.
• Strong, practical proficiency in ETABS, STAAD.
Pro, Autodesk Revit and BIM coordination.
• Proven ability to independently complete calculations, models, drawings, connection details and technical reports.
• Solid professional English and international team coordination skills. MANDATORY SOFTWARE & DIGITAL SKILLS
• ETABS: Structural models, loads, combinations, analysis, design, results review and verification.
• STAAD.
Pro: Independent modelling, analysis, checking and documentation.
• Autodesk Revit: Structural and analytical models, plans, sections, details, schedules and coordinated drawing packages.
• BIM: Multidisciplinary linked models, shared coordinates, model exchange, clash resolution, issue tracking and revision management.
• Additional tools relevant to assigned work (e.g. SAFE, SAP2000, RFEM/RSTAB, Robot, SCIA, Tekla Structural Designer, IDEA StatiCa or equivalent).
• Engineering spreadsheets/calculation tools for independent checks and transparent supporting calculations. Candidates must identify modelling assumptions, software limitations, gaps in code coverage and the need for supplementary checks. INTERNATIONAL CODES & STANDARDS Practical experience with:
• Europe: Eurocodes for basis of design, actions, concrete, steel, timber, geotechnical and seismic design, including relevant National Annexes.
• Italy: NTC 2018 and Circolare No. 7/2019,



including applicable amendments and project-specific requirements.
• United States: IBC, ASCE/SEI 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, AISC 341 and AWC NDS, as applicable. The engineer must establish governing editions, local requirements, loading criteria, material specifications and design combinations for each project. TIMBER & HYBRID STRUCTURAL DESIGN
• Develop structural concepts, framing systems, load paths, diaphragms, bracing and lateral stability solutions.
• Design timber roofs, floors, walls, beams, columns, trusses, cantilevers, CLT and glulam components.
• Design associated reinforced concrete and steel elements, including foundations, retaining structures, supports, frames and transfer elements.
• Check strength, stability, serviceability, deformation, vibration and applicable fire resistance and durability requirements.
• Account for load duration, moisture, service class, creep, long-term movement and differential deformation.
• Integrate fabrication, transport, erection sequence, access and construction tolerances into practical solutions. MANDATORY CONNECTION ENGINEERING Direct experience calculating and detailing:
• Timber-to-timber, timber-to-steel and timber-to-reinforced-concrete connections.
• Steel-to-steel and steel-to-concrete connections in hybrid systems.
• Bolts, screws, dowels, proprietary connectors, plates, brackets, shoes, base plates, anchors, hold-downs, embeds and relevant welds. Assess load transfer, eccentricity, resistance, stiffness, ductility, anchorage, fastener groups, edge distances, splitting, withdrawal and relevant failure modes. Convert the calculations into buildable details, consistent with manufacturers’ technical information, approvals, fabrication and installation requirements. STRUCTURAL LOADING & ANALYSIS Demonstrated ability to define and check:
• Dead, imposed, occupancy, maintenance and equipment loads.
• Snow (balanced/unbalanced, drift, accumulation at steps/parapets and sliding snow).
• Wind (pressure, suction, uplift, internal pressure, roofs and canopies).
• Seismic effects (mass definition, modes, response spectra, torsion, drift and diaphragms).
• Rainwater/ponding, thermal actions, earth and water pressures, and temporary construction loads.
• Loads from façades, MEP services, rooftop plant, tanks, photovoltaic systems and supported components.



Assess global stability, P-Delta/second-order effects, buckling, overturning, sliding, deflection and vibration. Nonlinear and advanced dynamic analysis are an advantage. REVIT, BIM & MULTIDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION
• Personally create and maintain accurate structural Revit models and construction documentation.
• Keep structural calculations, analytical models, member sizes, connections and drawings aligned through revisions.
• Coordinate with architecture, MEP, façades, interiors, fabrication and site teams.
• Resolve clashes, penetrations, sleeves, openings, equipment supports and space constraints; assess structural effects of proposed changes.
• Deliver coordinated drawings, sections, details and schedules; manage model exchanges, revisions and technical issues. INDEPENDENT DELIVERY & TECHNICAL QUALITY
• Take ownership of complete structural work packages with minimal supervision.
• Establish design assumptions, necessary inputs, scope, deliverables and timelines; identify missing information and risks early.
• Verify model connectivity, boundary conditions, releases, loading, combinations, reactions and output.
• Independently check critical calculations and maintain auditable engineering records.
• Prepare design reports, specifications and technical submissions.
• Review shop drawings and manufacturer documents; respond to RFIs, proposed substitutions and site variations. Expected deliverables: Design-basis reports, loading assessments, analysis models, member and connection calculations, foundation designs, structural Revit models, coordinated construction drawings, schedules, technical reports and construction-stage engineering responses. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES Professional registration/chartered status; bespoke architectural timber structures, prefabrication, exposed connections, complex geometry and engineering automation.
