Structural Engineer - Civil Arabian Construction Company - WLL

Role Objective:

To provide specialized structural engineering expertise for EPC plant construction projects in accordance with ADNOC standards, international codes (ACI, AISC, BS, Eurocodes, API, ASCE), and project-specific specifications. Ensure safe, economical, and constructible designs that meet the requirements of oil & gas industrial facilities.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design & Engineering

• Prepare, review, and validate detailed engineering calculations, structural analysis, and design for foundations, pipe racks, equipment supports, storage tanks, blast-resistant buildings, and other industrial structures.
• Ensure compliance with ADNOC codes, standards, and guidelines (ADNOC-COPs, GDLs, Specifications).
• Develop load combinations (dead load, live load, wind, seismic, blast, thermal, equipment loads, piping loads, crane loads).
• Perform structural modeling using STAAD. Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, SAFE, and Tekla Structures.
• Review vendor drawings and ensure structural interfaces are coordinated with mechanical, piping, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines.

1. Construction Support

• Provide technical support to site execution teams during civil/structural construction and resolve design/site issues (RFI, NCR, Technical Queries).
• Review and approve shop drawings, bar bending schedules (BBS), and structural steel fabrication drawings.
• Ensure proper implementation of QA/QC procedures, material specifications, and ITPs for civil works.
• Support HSE compliance in civil activities, ensuring safe execution and constructability.

1. Project Management & Coordination

• Participate in design review meetings (3D model review, HAZOP, HAZID, constructability workshops).
• Coordinate with PMC, Client (ADNOC), and Third-party certifying authorities for approvals.
• Monitor progress of civil/structural deliverables as per engineering schedule (S-curves, progress reports).
• Interface with geotechnical, architectural, piping, and mechanical teams to finalize foundation and structure designs.

1. Standards & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with:
• ADNOC standards & specifications
• ACI 318 / AISC 360 / API 650 & 620 / ASCE 7 / BS 8110 / Eurocodes
• UAE Fire & Life Safety Codes
• Local UAE authority regulations

1. Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare structural design reports, calculation sheets, material take-offs (MTO), and cost estimates.
• Issue structural drawings, general arrangement drawings (GADs), and detail design deliverables.
• Maintain as-built documentation, design change notes (DCNs), and engineering transmittals as per EPC workflow.

Key Deliverables:

• Structural Design Basis Report (DBR)
• Structural Calculation Reports
• General Arrangement & Detailed Drawings (concrete & steel)
• Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)
• Material Take-Off (MTO) for civil/structural works
• Engineering deliverables register (as per EPC milestone plan)
