Structural Designs

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Salary range: Rs 1400000 - Rs 2500000 (ie INR 14-25 LPA)

Min Experience: 16 years

Location: Ahmedabad

JobType: full-time

We are seeking an experienced Structural Design Engineer to contribute to the engineering of modular designs for thermal and water treatment systems, including preassembled skids, pipe racks, modules, and platforms. The role focuses on optimizing material costs, integrating structural and piping designs, and supporting all phases of plant engineering.

Key Responsibilities (including but not limited to):

• Perform structural engineering for modular systems such as skids, pipe racks, and platforms in thermal and water treatment applications.
• Apply advanced structural design methodologies using STAAD Pro and other relevant tools to optimize material usage and reduce costs.
• Collaborate closely with piping teams to ensure cohesive and integrated structural-piping designs.
• Develop and implement standardized or modular pipe rack designs to reduce site construction efforts.
• Leverage BIM technology to align plant engineering designs across remote design centers and client interfaces.
• Conduct comprehensive wind, seismic, and snow load analyses to support foundation and structural stability.
• Execute rigging and handling studies for complex assemblies and assess transportation feasibility via road and sea.
• Support early project phases (FEED – FEL-2, FEL-3) by contributing to design estimations and BOQ (Bill of Quantities) generation.
• Guide and collaborate with drafting teams to translate structural designs into precise manufacturing drawings.
• Design foundation bolts for equipment, large structures, and pipe racks.
• Participate in site visits to evaluate structural and civil installation progress and troubleshoot on-ground issues when required.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech).
• Strong command of American structural and building codes (AISC, ASCE, AWS D1.1) and familiarity with material standards like ASTM/ASME. Knowledge of European regulations such as EN1090 is a plus.
• Hands-on experience in structural loading estimation using IBC, UBC, and ASCE 7 standards for wind and seismic assessments.
• Familiarity with Progressive Design Build methodologies in plant engineering.
• Understanding of pre- and post-contract project phases and deliverables.
• Experience in preparing design outputs and BOQs for FEL-2 / FEL-3 phases.
• Proficiency in tools such as STAAD Pro, TEKLA, AutoCAD 2D, Revit, BIM360, and other Autodesk software.
• Strong communication skills for collaboration across global engineering teams.
• Experience with ERP tools like SAP is an added advantage.

Key Skills:

• Structural Design
• STAAD Pro
• TEKLA
• BOQ Development
• BIM & Autodesk Tools
• Thermal and Water Treatment Systems
• Wind & Seismic Load Analysis
