Job description

Key Role: The Structural Engineer will be responsible for
the structural design, analysis, and execution of a high-profile museum project
in Mecca. The role involves ensuring the structural integrity, safety, and
durability of the museum while integrating the architectural vision and
functional requirements. The Structural Engineer will work closely with
architects, contractors, and project managers to deliver a structurally sound
and aesthetically aligned facility.


Responsibilities


Structural Design and Analysis
  • Develop structural designs for the museum, ensuring
    stability, strength, and compliance with local building codes and international
    standards.
  • Conduct detailed structural analysis of building materials
    (steel, concrete, timber, etc.) and systems to determine feasibility and
    safety.
  • Provide innovative solutions to accommodate unique
    architectural elements and museum-specific requirements, such as large open
    spaces for exhibits.

Collaboration and Integration
  • Work closely with architects, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical,
    Plumbing) engineers, and contractors to ensure seamless integration of
    structural systems with other building components.
  • Coordinate with museum specialists to address specific
    requirements such as vibration control, load-bearing considerations, and
    artifact protection.
  • Ensure structural elements complement the architectural
    design while maintaining functionality and cost-efficiency.

Construction Support


  • Oversee the execution of structural works on-site to ensure
    adherence to design specifications and quality standards.
  • Review and approve shop drawings, material submittals, and
    construction methodologies.
  • Resolve any structural issues that arise during
    construction, maintaining alignment with project timelines and budgets.

Compliance and Quality Assurance
  • Ensure designs and construction comply with relevant codes,
    regulations, and standards, including seismic and environmental considerations
    specific to the region.
  • Perform regular inspections and audits to ensure the quality
    and safety of structural components.
  • Prepare structural reports and documentation for project
    stakeholders.

Sustainability and Innovation
  • Incorporate sustainable engineering practices to reduce
    environmental impact and optimize energy efficiency.
  • Research and implement advanced materials and technologies
    to enhance structural performance.

Recommended Technical Skills
  • Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such
    as ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, and SAFE.
  • Advanced knowledge of building materials, construction
    methods, and structural systems.
  • Expertise in seismic design and vibration control for
    sensitive structures like museums.
  • Strong understanding of regional building codes,
    international standards, and best practices for structural engineering.
  • Familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools
    such as Revit for multidisciplinary coordination.

Recommended Soft Skills
  • Problem-Solving: Ability to develop creative and practical
    solutions for complex structural challenges.
  • Collaboration: Strong teamwork skills to work effectively
    with architects, engineers, and contractors.
  • Communication: Clear and concise communication skills to
    explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Attention to Detail: Precision in structural calculations,
    design, and review to ensure accuracy and safety.
  • Time Management: Ability to prioritize tasks and manage
    deadlines in a fast-paced project environment.
  • Cultural Awareness: Understanding the significance of the
    project’s location and adapting designs to respect local traditions and
    requirements.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
Minimum Experience
  • At least 10 years of experience in structural engineering,
    preferably with experience in design and build projects or culturally
    significant structures.

This role provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the
design and realization of an iconic museum in Mecca. The ideal candidate will
combine technical expertise, creativity, and a commitment to excellence to
ensure the structural integrity of a world-class cultural landmark.
