Civil and Structural Design Authority

Structural Design Expert

As a highly skilled Structural Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the design, analysis, and integrity management of complex facilities. Your expertise will be essential in ensuring the safety, cost-effectiveness, and structural soundness of civil and structural assets.

The role encompasses initial conceptual studies to detailed engineering, as well as ongoing operational support for both greenfield and brownfield projects. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of designs and timely project execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Engineering: Perform advanced structural analysis and design for reinforced concrete and steel structures, including pipe racks, platforms, foundations, and buildings.
• Design specialized foundations, such as dynamic foundations for large rotating machinery, and pile foundations for complex structures.
• Conduct comprehensive in-place, fatigue, seismic, and blast analysis for onshore and offshore structures.
• Develop detailed engineering deliverables, including technical specifications, calculation reports, and engineering drawings.
• Utilize advanced engineering software for structural analysis, simulation, and 3D modeling.

Project Management and Coordination:

• Lead the civil and structural aspects of projects from the conceptual stage through detailed design and into execution.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration of designs.
• Perform clash detection and resolution using 3D modeling tools to identify and mitigate conflicts with other disciplines.
• Provide technical support to the procurement process by reviewing vendor bids and material requisitions.
• Manage project schedules, budgets, and change requests related to the civil/structural scope of work.

Integrity and Maintenance:

• Conduct structural integrity assessments of existing facilities, performing fitness-for-service evaluations.
• Develop and implement structural inspection and reliability programs to monitor the health of assets.
• Provide technical support and repair recommendations for in-service structures based on inspection reports and risk assessments.
• Support decommissioning projects by designing removal and demolition procedures.

Field and Construction Support:

• Perform site visits and inspections to ensure construction activities comply with design specifications.
• Provide on-site technical guidance, address construction queries, and evaluate change orders.
• Develop installation aids and construction methodology, especially for offshore components.
• Support Turnaround Engineering with construction and temporary support arrangements and necessary calculations.

Documentation and Quality Assurance:

• Ensure all designs and deliverables comply with strict international and industry-specific standards.
• Maintain accurate and organized project documentation, including design changes and revision controls.
• Oversee quality control of contractor and vendor work throughout the project.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 8-12 years of relevant experience in a high-risk industry, preferably in oil and gas, petrochemicals, or energy.
• Proven experience in both greenfield and brownfield projects, covering all project phases from FEED to commissioning.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for career growth and professional development.
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment.

Others:

• Analysis and Design: Expertise in the design of complex structures (concrete and steel), dynamic analysis of equipment foundations, fatigue, seismic, and blast-resistant design.
• Codes and Standards: In-depth knowledge of international codes, including API (2A, 1104, etc.), AISC, ASME, and other relevant standards.
• Software Proficiency: Advanced user of structural analysis and design software such as STAAD.Pro, SACS, ABAQUS, or ANSYS.
