Structural Engineer at Kloverharris Limited

Job Title: Structural Engineer

Job Summary

• We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Structural Engineer to join our team, with a specialized focus on working in swampy, wetland, and water-logged areas. 
• The ideal candidate will have a strong background in structural engineering, with a particular emphasis on designing and overseeing the construction of structures in challenging, water-impacted environments. 
• As a Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the safety, stability, and durability of infrastructure projects, addressing the unique challenges posed by swampy, wetland, or aquatic conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and oversee the construction of structures (e.g., bridges, piers, foundations, and buildings) in swampy or waterlogged terrains, ensuring stability and compliance with safety standards.
• Conduct site assessments to evaluate soil conditions, water levels, and potential environmental impacts, using geotechnical data to inform structural design decisions.
• Develop and provide technical solutions for addressing challenges specific to swampy and water-logged environments, including foundation design, load-bearing analysis, and moisture control.
• Collaborate with environmental engineers and project teams to develop solutions that protect surrounding ecosystems while ensuring the structural integrity of the built environment.
• Provide structural designs that incorporate materials and techniques suitable for wet, unstable, and potentially erosive ground conditions, such as piling systems, floating foundations, and geotechnical reinforcement.
• Perform structural analysis using advanced modeling software (e.g., STAAD Pro, SAP2000, ETABS) to ensure safety and compliance with relevant codes and standards.
• Oversee construction activities, ensuring that all work aligns with the approved designs, local regulations, and environmental protection requirements.
• Ensure the correct installation of structural elements, and address unforeseen site conditions or challenges as they arise.
• Monitor and inspect ongoing construction work, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations.
• Work closely with clients, contractors, and regulatory bodies to ensure smooth project delivery and timely resolution of any technical issues.
• Prepare and present regular project reports, including progress updates, risk assessments, and cost estimates.
• Review and approve materials, shop drawings, and submittals related to structural components.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering or related field.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred, or the ability to obtain one.
• Minimum of [10] years of experience as a Structural Engineer, with a focus on challenging terrains such as wetlands, swamps, or coastal areas.
• Proven experience designing structures that address the unique challenges of swampy, waterlogged, or unstable ground conditions.
• Strong understanding of structural analysis and design, including knowledge of geotechnical engineering principles, soil mechanics, and hydrology.
• Familiarity with the use of advanced design software such as AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, SAP2000, ETABS, and others for structural analysis and design.
• Knowledge of environmental regulations and best practices related to construction in water-impacted areas.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to develop innovative design solutions for complex site conditions.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with clients, project teams, and stakeholders.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in designing foundation systems (e.g., pile foundations, caissons) for water-logged environments.
• Familiarity with construction methods for handling soft soil and wetland areas, including the use of specialized geosynthetics, floating structures, and innovative stabilization techniques.
• Experience with environmental impact assessments and sustainability considerations in construction projects.
• Strong project management skills and experience handling multiple projects simultaneously.
