About this role
Role Overview
- Design and develop complex structures to the specified brief.
- Produce analysis models in accordance with company standards to validate civil/structural configurations, and to generate foundation loads. Ensure analytical models are transferring loads as expected, and that axial forces and moments are fixed/ released as stability (& connection design) demands.
- Produce calculations in accordance with company standards to validate connection design.
- Produce structural reports in accordance with company standards for inclusion into the project technical file.
- Prepare Civil/ Structural Basis of Design summary prior to commencing engineering works.
- Manage technical outputs (calculations, analysis, reports, etc.) using company systems.
- Undertake peer reviews of colleagues’ work (calculations, analysis, reports, etc.)
- Check structural drawing output (as required) to ensure that the information within accurately reflects analytical models and calculations.
- Identify variations to contractual scope and escalate to the Project team.
- Identification, and escalation, of all civil/ structural Technical Queries (TQ) that occur on the project.
- Attend internal design review and scoping meetings.
- Attend client meetings as requested by the Project Engineer.
