Consulting Engineer Civil/Structural

Responsibilities

• Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for dynamic machine-foundation-soil interaction (SSI) for combustion turbines and high-speed rotating equipment.
• Execute and oversee complex FEA to simulate thermal loads, seismic events, and harmonic vibrations, ensuring resonance separation and structural longevity.
• Drive the evolution of design standards for massive reinforced concrete structures, balancing material efficiency with extreme performance requirements.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams through the full project lifecycle—from initial geotechnical interpretation to final site construction and vibration troubleshooting.
• Conduct rigorous peer reviews and forensic engineering assessments for existing facilities to address settlement or vibration-related issues.
• Lead and provide technical guidance throughout the structural design and engineering process, often serving as the senior reviewer of calculations and structural models.
• Provide specific to discipline technical expertise to the degree of preparing and providing training for junior engineering personnel.
• Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, reports, sketches, calculations, cross-sections, and 2D/3D illustrations for the interpretation or presentation of more complex data, findings, or analyses.
• Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors in planning stages and risk analysis.
• Independently evaluate, select, and apply standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria using judgment in making minor adaptations and modifications.
• Travel to job sites and participate in walkdowns and provide construction or commissioning support.
• Cookordination with other disciplines, departments, and companies to ensure seamless technical compatibility and completion of engineering tasks safely, on-time, within budget and meeting all quality requirements.
