About the Role

Our client, a leading innovator in civil infrastructure design, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Civil Structural Engineer to join their dynamic and fully remote team. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects across South Africa from the comfort of your home office. You will play a pivotal role in the design, analysis, and oversight of complex structural systems for various infrastructure developments.

We are committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive remote work environment where your expertise will be valued and your professional growth is a priority. This role offers the flexibility to manage your workday while ensuring project deadlines and quality standards are met consistently.

We are looking for a self-starter who thrives in an independent work setting and can effectively communicate complex technical information to diverse stakeholders. This is a challenging yet rewarding position for an ambitious engineer eager to make a significant impact on the built environment.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct comprehensive structural analysis and design for a wide range of civil engineering projects, including bridges, buildings, and industrial facilities.
  • Develop detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and reports using industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and structural analysis packages (e.g., SAP
    2000, ETABS).
  • Collaborate closely with project managers, architects, and other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless project execution.
  • Perform site inspections and assessments remotely, providing technical guidance and resolving design issues as they arise.
  • Review and approve shop drawings, submittals, and construction documentation.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant South African National Standards (SANS) and international engineering codes.
  • Prepare tender documents and assist in the bidding process for new projects.
  • Manage project timelines and budgets, ensuring deliverables are met on schedule and within allocated resources.
  • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in civil engineering technology and methodologies.
Requirements
  • A Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field. A Master's degree is advantageous.
  • Professional Engineer (Pr Eng) registration with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
  • A minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in structural engineering design and analysis.
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering complex civil infrastructure projects.
  • Proficiency in structural analysis software (e.g., SAP
    2000, ETABS, SAFE) and CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit).
  • Strong understanding of material behavior (steel, concrete, timber) and design principles.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts clearly.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet strict deadlines in a remote setting.
  • Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) is highly desirable.
  • Knowledge of geotechnical principles and foundation design.
  • A stable internet connection and a dedicated home office setup are essential for this role.
Benefits
  • Competitive remuneration package commensurate with experience and qualifications.
  • Comprehensive medical aid.
  • Generous provident fund contribution.
  • Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.
  • Full remote position with unparalleled work-life balance, eliminating commute times.

  • Performance‑based bonuses.
  • Supportive, inclusive team where your career aspirations can flourish.
