Sr. Civil & Structural Engineer

Sr. Engineer – Civil & Structural (India)Status: T3 (India-specific compensation band) Department: Engineering – StructuralPosition SummaryThe Senior Structural Engineer leads structural analysis and designs and strength calculations activities for modular structures like skids, arrays, containers along with pipe racks, pipe supports, platforms etc. Shall be performing in place, lifting and transport analysis of the skids. Provides technical guidance to juniors, and ensures consistency, constructability, and quality across projects. Also responsible for independently checking 3D models and 2D drawings for structural steel and foundations. Supports lead engineers on complex projects and act as Lead on small to mid-size projects.This role requires close collaboration with structural designers, multi-disciplinary teams, and inter-departmental stakeholders to ensure high-quality designs. The Sr. Engineer works directly with lead engineers and is expected to be self-driven, quality-focused, and adaptable in a fast-paced product engineering environment.Core Duties and ResponsibilitiesPerform structural analysis of modular skids and structures involved in Hydrogen, Energy transitions, energy projects/products across the globe. Ensure compliance with codes, standards including AISC, Eurocode, IS, ASCE, PIP and other international standards & client specificationsPerform lifting, in place and transport analysis of the structuresDevelop foundation loading tables for all basic loads including wind and seismic loads as per American, European and Indian standards.Mentor and guide junior level engineers and designersCoordinate with engineers on design intent and constructabilitySupport project planning, workload distribution, and delivery commitmentsReview 3D models and 2D drawings for all the structures involved in the project/product including GA, Fab drawings, Foundation loading, lifting GA etc.Prepare the Bill of materials for structural steel.Execute all activities in compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS) procedures and work instructionsPerform self-checks on all deliverables prior to submissionActively contributes to lessons learned and continuous improvementComplete and maintain checklists, check prints, and quality recordsEffectively Coordinate with Project Engineers & other engg departments to resolve design clarifications like design & 3D model reviews.Participate in project close-out and lessons-learned meetingsEnsures safety principle followed in the designEducation and ExperienceBachelor’s/Master’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering required with 6 to 9 years of relevant experience Required Skills & CompetenciesAdvanced proficiency in analysis & Design tool – STAAD pro, Idea statica, Mathcad, MS officeStrong proficiency in excel programsStrong understanding of structural engineering concepts for steel, foundations, and modular systemsAbility to lead small teams and manage prioritiesStrong proficiency in handling NavisworksStrong understanding of AISC, ASSCE, EU, IS, PIP codes and standardsAbility to read/comment and interpret engineering drawings, plant layouts, and equipment layoutsAbility to work across the engineering organization/functions with minimal direction.
