Job Purpose:

This position is responsible to conduct structural modelling, analysis, design and planning, and oversee the construction of new buildings, as well as the modification, renovation and extension of existing buildings and other structures. Ensure a smooth, transparent and accountable working process while maintaining regular communication with the supervisor and providing timely updates on project progress, challenges and key developments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Structural Analysis and Design: Conduct structural analysis, modelling and design of new buildings and other structures in accordance with approved design requirements and applicable national and international codes, using ETABS, STAAD Pro or other relevant engineering software.
• Collect and analyse the necessary project data, including architectural drawings, site measurements, geotechnical information and soil investigation reports, through coordination with relevant professionals and site visits to establish appropriate structural design parameters.
• Evaluate building configurations and determine appropriate structural systems, foundation types and construction materials (reinforced concrete, structural steel and masonry). Calculate and assess dead, live, wind, seismic, thermal and soil pressure loads to ensure structural stability, strength and serviceability.
• Prepare, review and coordinate detailed structural designs, construction drawings, working drawings, structural schedules, technical specifications and computer-based models to support accurate project implementation. Assist the Senior Executive Engineer in reviewing and issuing design documents.
• Ensure all structural designs, drawings and construction activities comply with applicable building codes, including BNBC, ACI and AISC, as well as relevant safety standards, technical specifications and organisational requirements.
• Conduct regular site inspections to verify that construction work complies with approved structural drawings and specifications. Inspect reinforcement arrangements before concrete casting, assess workmanship and material quality, resolve technical issues and recommend necessary corrective measures or design modifications in consultation with the supervisor.
• Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, geotechnical engineers, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure effective integration of structural designs with overall project requirements. Assess existing buildings and structural components, identify potential defects or risks, and recommend appropriate strengthening, repair, rehabilitation, replacement or reconstruction measures.
• Provide timely technical guidance and engineering decisions to site teams, support the preparation and review of structural drawings and models, escalate complex technical matters to the supervisor, and prepare periodic progress, technical and quality assurance reports for senior management.

Safeguarding Responsibilities:

• Ensure the safety of Programme Participants, people who come into contact with the organisation and team members from any harm, abuse, neglect, harassment and exploitation including sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) to achieve the programme's goals of safeguarding implementation.

• Follow the safeguarding reporting procedure in case any reportable incident takes place and encourage others to do so.

Additional Job Requirements:

• Strong technical leadership to develop cost-effective, alternative structural solutions and optimize design efficiency.
• High analytical capability to interpret complex geotechnical reports, calculate structural loads, and resolve engineering challenges.
• Meticulous attention to detail to ensure full compliance with BNBC, ACI, AISC codes, and structural safety standards.
• Effective collaborative skills to coordinate seamlessly across architectural, MEP, site supervision, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Exceptional planning and organizational agility to manage design deliverables, conduct site inspections, and adhere to project schedules.
