Senior Structural Design Engineer - Marine

What You'll Drive

Structural Design & Analysis

• Lead the structural design and technical development of permanent and temporary works packages across a diverse portfolio of projects including marine structures, buildings, stadiums, industrial facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, and infrastructure works.

• Perform advanced structural calculations and engineering assessments for reinforced concrete and steel structures, ensuring compliance with project requirements, applicable codes, and industry best practices.

• Develop and review structural concepts, design methodologies, and engineering solutions from feasibility through detailed design stages.

• Prepare comprehensive technical reports, calculation packages, and engineering justifications to support design submissions and approvals.

• Conduct structural analyses using advanced FEM software, including linear, non-linear, staged construction, and time-dependent analyses where required.

Marine & Specialist Structures

• Deliver structural designs for marine and coastal infrastructure such as jetties, berths, quay walls, marine platforms, and associated facilities.

• Apply specialist knowledge in marine structural engineering while contributing to a broad range of non-marine projects when required.

• Evaluate complex engineering challenges and propose innovative, practical, and cost-effective solutions suitable for construction.

Design & Build Engineering

• Support Design & Build projects by integrating engineering solutions with construction methodologies, sequencing requirements, and project constraints.

• Collaborate closely with construction teams to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and aligned with project execution strategies.

• Provide engineering support during tendering and project execution phases, including design planning, quantity assessments, technical risk reviews, value engineering, and constructability studies.

Coordination & Technical Leadership

• Coordinate with project teams, consultants, architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines to ensure efficient delivery of design packages.

• Participate in and lead technical meetings, presenting engineering solutions and communicating key design considerations to stakeholders.

• Mentor and support junior engineers, promoting technical excellence and knowledge sharing across the department.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, design standards, and technical best practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.

• Minimum 10 years of structural design experience.

• Proven experience in structural design and analysis of concrete and steel structures.

• Strong background in marine and jetty structures is highly preferred.

• Demonstrated experience preparing structural calculations, technical reports, and FEM models.

• Experience on Design & Build projects is essential.

• Exposure to temporary works design is considered an advantage.

• Experience across multiple structure types such as buildings, stadiums, marine works, industrial facilities, water treatment plants, and infrastructure projects is highly desirable.

• Prior Middle East experience is preferred.

• Candidates must demonstrate willingness to work on a broad range of structural projects and not be limited to a single area of specialization.

Skills and Competencies

• Strong expertise in reinforced concrete and structural steel design.

• Advanced knowledge of structural analysis principles and FEM modelling.

• Proven ability to prepare technical reports, design calculations, and engineering documentation.

• Strong understanding of international design codes including Eurocodes, ACI, British Standards, and related industry standards.

• Proficient in structural engineering software such as SAP2000, ETABS, IDEA StatiCa, and other relevant FEM tools.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

• Flexible mindset with willingness to work across different structural sectors and project types.
