As a Senior Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for leading structural design efforts, reviewing construction practices on-site, and ensuring the delivery of robust and code-compliant structural systems. You will collaborate closely with architects, MEP engineers, contractors, and clients to deliver high-performance, safe, and cost-effective structural solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the structural design and analysis of reinforced concrete, steel, and composite structures in accordance with project specifications, seismic requirements, and healthcare facility standards.
• Oversee the preparation and review of design documentation, including structural drawings, calculations, specifications, and BOQs.
• Supervise construction activities on-site to ensure structural works are carried out in accordance with approved designs, quality standards, and applicable codes (e.g., ACI, BS, Eurocode, IBC).
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including architects and MEP consultants, to ensure seamless integration of structural systems with other building services.
• Perform technical reviews of contractor submittals including shop drawings, method statements, and material approvals.
• Conduct site inspections and technical audits to verify the quality and safety of structural installations.
• Identify and resolve design and construction-related issues in collaboration with site teams and stakeholders.
• Prepare structural assessment reports, progress updates, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Support value engineering initiatives and recommend design optimizations where applicable.
• Participate in project meetings, design coordination sessions, and authority submissions as required.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from a recognized university; a Master's degree is highly preferred.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in structural engineering, with substantial involvement in healthcare, hospital, or large-scale institutional projects.
• Proven track record of leading structural design and construction supervision on complex, multidisciplinary projects.
• Strong command of structural analysis and design software.
• In-depth knowledge of international and local structural codes and standards.
• Experience in seismic design, foundation systems, and structural detailing for complex buildings.
• Familiarity with FIDIC contracts, project delivery processes, and coordination with supervision consultants.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) with a recognized engineering institution is highly preferred.
• Strong leadership, team management, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience working on-site in the GCC region or similar environments is a plus.
