Pre-Engineered Buildings

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering Add. Qualifications: Chartered Engineer (CE) status or Professional Engineer (PE) license (if applicable) is highly desirable Overall Experience: 7-12 years of progressive experience in structural engineering, with a specific focus on Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) systems. DC Specific Exp : Minimum 4-6 years of direct, hands-on experience in the design and technical review of PEB structures specifically for mission-critical facilities, data centers. Role Purpose: The PEB Specialist is a key technical expert within the CSA Design Department, responsible for leading the conceptualisation, detailed design, analysis, and optimization of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) structures for new data center projects and expansions across India. This role ensures that PEB designs meet stringent data center requirements for structural integrity, heavy equipment loading, vibration control, scalability, and seamless integration with complex Mechanical, Electrical, IT, and Fire Systems. The PEB Specialist will drive efficient, cost-effective, and code-compliant PEB solutions, coordinating closely with internal design teams and external PEB manufacturers to deliver robust and highperformance data center shells and ancillary buildings. Key Deliverables: Approved PEB Structural Design Packages: Conceptual, Schematic, and Detailed Design documents (drawings, structural analysis reports, specifications) for all PEB components. PEB Vendor Technical Review Reports: Detailed review and approval documentation for PEB manufacturer's design calculations, shop drawings, and submittals. Optimized PEB Solutions: Designs that demonstrate structural efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and optimal integration with other data center systems. Compliance Documentation: All necessary PEB-related documentation required for statutory approvals (e.g., structural stability certificates, relevant permits). Inter-disciplinary Coordination Matrices/Resolutions: Documented resolution of structural clashes and optimized interfaces between PEB and MEP/IT/Architectural elements. Value Engineering Proposals: Approved proposals demonstrating tangible cost savings or performance improvements through PEB design optimization. Technical Support for Construction: Timely and effective resolution of PEB-related RFI's (Request for Information) and site challenges. Required Skills & Competencies: Technical Expertise (PEB & Data Center Specific): o Expert knowledge of PEB analysis and design principles, components, fabrication processes, and erection methodologies. o Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such as STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, AutoCAD, and BIM tools (e.g., Revit Structures), Tekla specifically for steel structures. o In-depth knowledge of Indian Standards (IS codes) for structural steel design (e.g., IS 800), design loads (e.g., IS 875), seismic design (e.g., IS 1893 and IS18168), and wind loads,.loads. o Strong understanding of the National Building Code (NBC 2016), particularly sections pertaining to structural safety and fire resistance. o Expertise in data center specific structural requirements: accommodating heavy equipment loads (UPS, batteries, chillers, generators), vibration isolation, precise floor deflections, roof penetrations, and structural support for MEP/IT equipment. o Knowledge of various cladding systems (e.g., sandwich panels, single skin sheets) and their performance characteristics. o Understanding of Uptime Institute Tier requirements and TIA-942 standards as they relate to structural redundancy and reliability. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): PEB Design Accuracy & Integrity: o Zero Critical Structural Flaws: Number of major structural design errors or reworks identified post-detailed design release for PEB. o % PEB Design Review Acceptance Rate: Percentage of PEB detailed designs/vendor submittals accepted on first review without significant revisions. o FEA/Structural Analysis Validation: % of complex PEB designs validated through advanced analysis with acceptable safety factors. Compliance & Approvals : o % Regulatory Approval Success Rate (PEB): Percentage of PEB structural design submissions receiving required statutory approvals (e.g., structural stability certificates, building permits) on time and without major objections. o Zero Non-Compliance Findings: Number of non-compliance findings related to PEB design during internal/external audits. Project & Cost Efficiency (PEB Design Phase): o PEB Design Schedule Adherence: % of PEB design milestones completed on or before target dates. o Value Engineering Savings (PEB): Quantifiable cost savings achieved through PEB design optimization (e.g., % reduction in structural steel tonnage while maintaining performance). o PEB Design Budget Adherence: % of PEB design man-hours/consultant fees utilized within allocated budget. Constructability & Buildability (PEB): o Reduction in PEB-related RFIs: Decrease in Requests for Information from the construction team regarding PEB design clarity. o Reduced PEB Construction Reworks: Reduction in site reworks directly attributable to PEB design issues or coordination gaps. Inter-disciplinary Coordination Effectiveness: o Inter-disciplinary Clash Resolution Rate (PEB): % of clashes involving PEB structure resolved proactively in the design phase. o Timely Provision of PEB Interface Details: Consistent delivery of accurate PEB interface details to other design disciplines.
