Job Responsibilities

Structural Design & Technical Delivery

• Lead structural design for complex building projects, including large-span spatial structures, curved steel structures, irregular geometries, and other technically demanding building types.
• Oversee the full design lifecycle — from concept and design development through structural analysis, detailed/working drawings, and construction-stage support.
• Apply strong technical judgment to resolve complex engineering issues independently.

Singapore Regulatory Compliance & Submissions

• Ensure designs comply with Singapore's building and structural regulatory framework, including applicable Singapore Standards / SS EN Eurocodes and National Annexes.
• Manage BCA structural plan submission processes, prepare required technical documentation, and coordinate with local authorities and design partners.
• Maintain and, where applicable, act as the Singapore-registered PE (Civil/Structural) for relevant project submissions, or work toward PE registration as part of the role.

Design Development & Software Application

• Produce and review structural models and analyses using tools such as SAP2000, ETABS, 3D3S, Dlubal, and IDEA StatiCa, supported by strong AutoCAD documentation skills.
• Utilize Rhino/Grasshopper, Revit, and/or Tekla where relevant to support complex geometry design and coordination.

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Lead and mentor junior engineers, providing technical guidance and oversight across the design team.
• Manage design subcontractors and coordinate multidisciplinary teams to drive technical issues to resolution.
• Liaise directly with clients, architects, consultants, contractors, and fabricators to ensure design intent and technical requirements are met.
• Coordinate with the China headquarters/team on cross-border project matters

Construction-Phase Support

• Provide on-site technical support during construction, addressing design changes, technical clarifications, and fabrication/construction coordination.
• Identify and implement design optimizations to support efficient and buildable outcomes.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Conduct technical discussions, meetings, and presentations independently in English, and manage email correspondence and design-document coordination with all project stakeholders.
• Work effectively within a multicultural team and the broader Singapore project environment.

Job Requirements

• At least Bachelor’s degree or above in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 12 years of relevant structural design experience. Candidates with strong experience in major complex projects, international projects or design-team leadership.
• Strong experience in large-span spatial structures, complex curved steel structures, irregular structures or other complex building structures. Experience across concept/design development, structural analysis, detailed/working drawings and construction-stage support.
• Singapore Practice: Familiarity with Singapore’s building and structural regulatory framework, including applicable Singapore Standards / SS EN Eurocodes and National Annexes. Experience with BCA structural plan submission processes, technical documentation and local design coordination.
• Professional Registration: Singapore-registered PE (Civil/Structural) is preferred, or candidates with a background that supports PE registration, will be an advantage.
• Software: Proficiency in at least 2–3 of SAP2000, ETABS, 3D3S, Dlubal and IDEA StatiCa, together with strong AutoCAD skills. Experience with Rhino/Grasshopper, Revit and/or Tekla is an advantage.
