Structural Engineer

Key Role: The Structural Engineer will be responsible for the structural design, analysis, and execution of a high-profile museum project in Mecca. The role involves ensuring the structural integrity, safety, and durability of the museum while integrating the architectural vision and functional requirements. The Structural Engineer will work closely with architects, contractors, and project managers to deliver a structurally sound and aesthetically aligned facility.

Responsibilities

• Develop structural designs for the museum, ensuring stability, strength, and compliance with local building codes and international standards.
  
• Conduct detailed structural analysis of building materials (steel, concrete, timber, etc.) and systems to determine feasibility and safety.
• Provide innovative solutions to accommodate unique architectural elements and museum-specific requirements, such as large open spaces for exhibits.
  

• Work closely with architects, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineers, and contractors to ensure seamless integration of structural systems with other building components.
  
• Coordinate with museum specialists to address specific requirements such as vibration control, load-bearing considerations, and artifact protection.
• Ensure structural elements complement the architectural design while maintaining functionality and cost-efficiency.
  

Construction Support

• Oversee the execution of structural works on-site to ensure adherence to design specifications and quality standards.
  
• Review and approve shop drawings, material submittals, and construction methodologies.
• Resolve any structural issues that arise during construction, maintaining alignment with project timelines and budgets.
  

• Ensure designs and construction comply with relevant codes, regulations, and standards, including seismic and environmental considerations specific to the region.
  
• Perform regular inspections and audits to ensure the quality and safety of structural components.
• Prepare structural reports and documentation for project stakeholders.
  
  

• Incorporate sustainable engineering practices to reduce environmental impact and optimize energy efficiency.
  
• Research and implement advanced materials and technologies to enhance structural performance.
  

• Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such as ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, and SAFE.
  
• Advanced knowledge of building materials, construction methods, and structural systems.
• Expertise in seismic design and vibration control for sensitive structures like museums.
• Strong understanding of regional building codes, international standards, and best practices for structural engineering.
• Familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools such as Revit for multidisciplinary coordination.
  

• Problem-Solving: Ability to develop creative and practical solutions for complex structural challenges.
  
• Collaboration: Strong teamwork skills to work effectively with architects, engineers, and contractors.
• Communication: Clear and concise communication skills to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Attention to Detail: Precision in structural calculations, design, and review to ensure accuracy and safety.
• Time Management: Ability to prioritize tasks and manage deadlines in a fast-paced project environment.
• Cultural Awareness: Understanding the significance of the project’s location and adapting designs to respect local traditions and requirements.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
  

• At least 10 years of experience in structural engineering, preferably with experience in design and build projects or culturally significant structures.

This role provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the design and realization of an iconic museum in Mecca. The ideal candidate will combine technical expertise, creativity, and a commitment to excellence to ensure the structural integrity of a world-class cultural landmark.
