This full-time, on-site Lead Structural Design Engineer role is based in Qesm El Maadi and is responsible for leading structural design activities across the Group projects. The individual in this role will develop structural concepts, perform detailed analysis and design for concrete and steel structures, and prepare complete design documentation, including drawings, calculations, and specifications. Day-to-day tasks include reviewing architectural and MEP layouts, coordinating with internal engineering teams and external consultants, and ensuring structural solutions meet safety, code, and client requirements.

The Lead Structural Design

Engineer will oversee junior engineers and draftspeople, provide technical guidance, and review their work for accuracy and compliance. The role also involves participating in design reviews, supporting tender and value-engineering studies, and working closely with project management and construction teams to resolve structural issues during execution.

Qualifications:

• Strong structural analysis and design skills, including proficiency with reinforced concrete and structural steel systems, and familiarity with relevant international and local codes and standards.
• Experience using structural engineering and drafting software (e.g., ETABS, SAP2000, SAFE, STAAD, Robot, AutoCAD, Revit or similar BIM tools) to develop and review models, calculations, and drawings.
• Demonstrated ability to produce clear design documentation, including reports, calculation packages, drawings, and technical specifications, with high attention to detail and quality.
• Proven experience in coordinating with multidisciplinary teams (architecture, MEP, manufacturing, and construction) and managing design interfaces for complex building and infrastructure projects.
• Effective communication, leadership, and mentoring skills, with the ability to guide junior engineers, manage workloads, and support collaborative problem-solving.
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering; a Master’s degree, professional licensure/registration, or equivalent certification is preferred.
• Previous experience in contracting or consultancy environments, ideally on industrial, commercial, hospitality, or infrastructure projects in the Middle East, is an advantage.
