Description

• Review and produce construction drawings, design documentation, and technical reports.
• Coordinate closely with the architecture, MEP, geotechnical, and construction teams to ensure seamless integration of design requirements.
• Develop structural design concepts and detailed engineering calculations for high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
• Participate in client presentations, technical workshops, and coordination meetings.
• Prepare structural models using industry-standard software (ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000, RAM Concept, etc.).
• Perform analysis of gravity, lateral, wind, and seismic loads; validate structural safety and serviceability.
• Design and optimize core systems, mega-columns, outriggers, transfer structures, foundations, and sky-bridge/sky-lobby elements.
• Conduct design reviews, resolve technical issues, and ensure adherence to project timelines and quality standards.
• Support value engineering, constructability assessments, and design optimization initiatives.

Requirements

Riyadh-based candidates preferred, but relocation support is available for the right talent.

The Structural Designer will play a critical role in the design and development of high-rise and super high-rise buildings, ensuring structural integrity, performance, and compliance with international codes.
