The Senior Structural Engineer is responsible for the design, analysis, and verification of structures required for the execution of complex industrial projects in the energy, oil & gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, data center, industrial infrastructure, and process industries sectors.
You are involved throughout the entire project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and preliminary design to detailed engineering, construction support, and commissioning. Your role is to develop structural solutions that are safe, compliant with applicable regulations, technically optimized, and economically efficient
Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you ensure the structural integrity of installations while meeting quality, safety, schedule, and budget requirements.
🎯Main Responsibilities:
1.Structural Design and Analysis
* Design and dimension industrial steel structures such as: steel frameworks, maintenance platforms, walkways and access structures, pipe racks, equipment supports, various load-bearing structures.
* Design and verify reinforced concrete structures in accordance with applicable standards: industrial buildings, retaining walls, civil engineering structures, equipment support structures.
* Perform foundation calculations: isolated or combined footings, raft foundations, equipment foundations, deep foundations and pile caps, industrials labs.
* Develop and use numerical finite element models (FEM) for structural analysis.
* Carry out verifications of: mechanical strength, global stability, deformations, buckling,fatigue, vibration behaviour.
* Assess structures under various loads: permanent loads, operational loads, wind, seismic loads, dynamic loads,accidental loads.
* Participate in the assessment and possible strengthening of existing structures.
2.Standards, Regulations, and Quality
* Ensure compliance of studies with Eurocodes and applicable regulations.
* Apply internal standards, client specifications, and contractual requirements.
* Guarantee the technical quality of calculations and proposed solutions.
* Ensure the application of safety rules throughout all study and execution phases.
3.Documentation Production
* Prepare and review: calculation notes, design reports, FEM analysis reports, foundation reports, technical specifications,load plans, technical studies and design documents.
* Ensure consistency and traceability of all engineering documentation.
4.Technical Coordination and Project Management
* Collaborate with engineers from related disciplines (process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, HVAC, etc.).
* Supervise and support draftsmen and designers in the development of models and execution drawings.
* Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, constructability analyses, and risk assessments.
* Act as the technical interface with clients, suppliers, engineering partners, and geotechnical consultants.
* Provide technical support during construction phases and respond to site-related technical queries.
* Contribute to achieving project objectives in terms of quality, cost, and schedule.
