Design Lead - Structural

Job Description: Design Lead (Structural)

Role Purpose:

To spearhead the digital transformation of our structural engineering division. This role is not just about managing models; it is about bridging the gap between high-level structural analysis and integrated BIM delivery. You will be responsible for ensuring that every design is safe, cost-optimized, and "construction-ready" while mentoring a high-performance team to meet global standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Design & Analysis

• Lead the structural analysis and design for complex steel and concrete projects.
  


• Translate theoretical calculations into highly accurate, data-rich BIM models.
  


• Oversee the development of detailed drawings and comprehensive design documentation.
  

2. Mentorship & Team Excellence

• Act as a technical mentor to junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and accountability.
  


• Conduct regular internal design reviews to reduce error rates and improve engineering quality.
  


• Bridge the skill gap by training staff on the intersection of structural fundamentals and BIM software.
  

3. Integrated Delivery & Optimization

• Drive Value Engineering initiatives to ensure designs are optimized for both material cost and constructability.
  


• Coordinate seamlessly with MEP and Architectural BIM teams to resolve clashes and ensure integrated project delivery.
  


• Standardize workflows to improve Turnaround Time (TAT) without compromising technical integrity.
  

4. Compliance & Standards

• Ensure all project outputs strictly adhere to global codes, including ACI, AISC, Eurocode, and IS codes.
  


• Develop and maintain internal "Standard Operating Procedures" (SOPs) for structural BIM workflows.
  

Requirements

The Ideal Candidate

Experience & Education:

• 15+ years of core experience in structural design, with at least 3 years in a leadership or managerial capacity.
  


• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering.
  

Technical Mastery:

• Advanced proficiency in analysis software: ETABS, STAAD.Pro, SAFE, and SAP2000.
  


• Expert-level knowledge of BIM platforms (e.g., Revit Structure, Navisworks, Tekla).
  


• Deep understanding of the "Process" behind integrated delivery—moving from analysis to 3D model to fabrication drawings.
  

Leadership & Mindset:

• Commercial Awareness: Ability to balance "perfect engineering" with "profitable delivery."
  


• Growth Mindset: A passion for leveraging technology (AI, automation, BIM) to stay ahead of industry trends.
  


• Communication: Exceptional ability to explain complex structural concepts to both technical teams and non-technical clients.
