Structural Engineer

Structural engineers design buildings and other types of structures. They build 2D and 3D models using computer-aided structural design technology. They measure loads and stresses to secure structural soundness. They collaborate with contractors and guide construction workers onsite.

• Prepare reports, designs, and drawings.
• Build structures based on technical specifications.
• Make calculations about pressures, loads, and stresses.
• Consider the strength of construction materials and select appropriately to ensure durability.
• Provide technical advice on safe designs and construction.
• Obtain planning and/or building regulations approval.
• Analyze the configurations of the basic components of a structure.
• Liaise with professional staff such as architects and engineers.
• Monitor and inspect all work undertaken by contractors to ensure structural soundness.
• Administer contracts and manage projects.
• Inspect properties to evaluate conditions and foundations.
• Use computer-aided design technology for simulation purposes.
• Track project progress and report on results.

• Professional experience with AutoCAD and structural design software such as ETABS, SAB, STAAD, and preferably Autodesk Revit.
• Background in a related field (e.g., a professional degree in structural engineering). Experience in the UAE market is preferred.
• Knowledge of building regulations and approval processes.
