Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities
- Develop detailed structural calculations and designs for facade components such as curtain walls, cladding, and glazing systems, using specialized software.
- Perform load calculations, including wind, seismic, and thermal loads, to design façade systems that are structurally sound and resilient.
- Choose appropriate materials (e.g., glass, aluminum, steel) that meet both structural and performance requirements, such as durability, fire resistance, and thermal efficiency.
- Oversee façade testing, such as wind load and water infiltration tests, to validate the system’s performance and durability under environmental conditions
- Work closely with architects, façade designers, and other engineers to ensure the façade integrates seamlessly with the building’s overall design and system
- Analyze structural facade systems, ensuring they meet building codes and withstand environmental loads, including wind, snow, and seismic activity.
- Investigate and resolve any structural issues related to facade performance, including water penetration, thermal movement, and material durability.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest facade technologies, materials, and industry standards to ensure innovative and efficient designs.
- Ensure that the façade design adheres to local building codes, safety regulations, and sustainability standards.
Desired Candidate Profile
- Master's degree in Structural Engineering, demonstrating a strong foundation in engineering principles.
- Proficient in structural analysis software such as STAAD, SAP2000, ETABS, to perform detailed calculations and simulations.
- Possesses excellent communication and interpersonal skills, enabling effective collaboration with diverse project teams.
- Shows a proactive and results-oriented attitude, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines.
