As a Structural Engineer, you need to design and analyze façade systems and support structures, prepare structural calculations, review drawings and technical submissions, ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards, coordinate with project teams, and provide technical support for site installation and construction issues.
Key Responsibilities:
- Perform structural analysis and design of façade systems, including curtain walls, aluminum cladding, glass façades, metal cladding, and associated support structures.
- Prepare and review structural calculations for façade elements, brackets, anchors, connections, mullions, transoms, steel supports, and other secondary structural components.
- Design façade support systems considering wind loads, dead loads, seismic loads where applicable, thermal movements, deflection, and other project-specific loading conditions.
- Review architectural, structural, and façade drawings and identify technical requirements, interfaces, and potential design conflicts.
- Develop and review façade shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and engineering details.
- Coordinate with drafting/BIM teams to ensure engineering requirements are correctly incorporated into drawings and models.
- Prepare engineering reports, calculations, technical submissions, and design documentation for consultant/client approval.
- Review project specifications, structural requirements, material specifications, and applicable codes and standards.
- Coordinate with consultants, architects, contractors, suppliers, and project teams to resolve technical issues and design changes.
- Provide technical support to the site team during façade installation and assist in resolving engineering and construction-related issues.
- Inspect façade structural components and connections when required and provide technical recommendations for site conditions.
- Review material and technical submittals and verify compliance with approved designs and project specifications.
- Assist in the preparation of method statements, inspection procedures, and technical documentation.
- Monitor design changes and ensure that revisions are properly incorporated into calculations and drawings.
- Support value-engineering initiatives while maintaining structural integrity, performance, and compliance.
- Ensure engineering deliverables are completed within project schedules and in accordance with company quality requirements.
