Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates KBR, Inc. Full time
Roles and responsibilities
  • A Structural Engineer is a professional who designs, analyzes, and ensures the safety, stability, and durability of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. They apply principles of physics and material science to design structures that can withstand loads, stresses, and environmental conditions. Structural engineers often work alongside architects, contractors, and other engineers to create functional, safe, and cost-effective structures.

    Here is a comprehensive skill set, knowledge areas, and responsibilities for a Structural Engineer:

    Key Skills for Structural Engineering

  • Structural Design and Analysis:

    • Expertise in designing structural components (e.g., beams, columns, foundations) using a variety of materials such as steel, concrete, wood, and composite materials.
    • Strong understanding of structural analysis techniques to assess the strength, stability, and safety of structures under different loads (e.g., dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads).
    • Proficiency in applying theoretical and practical knowledge to solve complex engineering problems.
  • Knowledge of Materials and Construction Methods:

    • In-depth understanding of the properties of construction materials (e.g., concrete, steel, timber, masonry) and their behavior under different conditions.
    • Expertise in choosing appropriate materials for specific structures based on cost, strength, durability, and environmental conditions.
    • Knowledge of construction methods and practices, ensuring designs can be built efficiently and safely.
  • Building Codes and Regulations:

    • Familiarity with local, national, and international building codes (e.g., International Building Code, Eurocodes) and regulations governing structural safety and design.
    • Knowledge of specific codes related to environmental factors like seismic design, wind loads, and fire safety.
    • Ensuring compliance with all relevant codes during the design and construction phases to guarantee safety and legal compliance.
  • Structural Modeling and Simulation:

    • Proficiency in using structural engineering software to model and analyze structures (e.g., SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD Pro, ANSYS).
    • Ability to simulate various load conditions and predict the structural behavior, making adjustments to the design as needed.
    • Familiarity with Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools, integrating structural designs with architectural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) designs.
  • Foundation Design:

    • Expertise in designing foundations (e.g., slab-on-grade, spread footings, deep foundations like piles or caissons) to ensure they are stable and capable of supporting the structure.
    • Understanding of soil mechanics, including the properties of soil types, bearing capacity, and settlement analysis.
    • Ability to assess geotechnical reports and integrate findings into foundation design.
  • Seismic and Wind Engineering:

    • Knowledge of seismic forces and designing structures to withstand earthquakes (seismic-resistant design) based on seismic zones and codes.
    • Understanding wind load analysis and designing structures to resist wind forces, including the use of bracing, shear walls, and other stabilizing features.
  • Sustainability and Environmental Impact:

    • Expertise in sustainable design practices, ensuring structures use energy-efficient materials and construction methods that minimize environmental impact.
    • Knowledge of green building certifications (e.g., LEED) and designing structures to meet sustainability standards.
    • Incorporating renewable energy solutions or environmentally friendly construction techniques into structural designs.
  • Problem-Solving and Troubleshooting:

    • Ability to identify potential structural issues in existing buildings (e.g., foundation settlement, cracks in walls, material degradation) and propose solutions.
    • Experience in evaluating and retrofitting existing structures to improve safety, extend lifespan, or meet updated codes.
    • Troubleshooting issues that arise during the construction phase and offering solutions to keep the project on track.
Desired candidate profile
  • Proficiency in analysis and design of steel structures, concrete structures, equipment foundations (static & dynamic), pipe-racks and technological structures
  • In depth knowledge of building design (both conventional and blast resistant)
  • Knowledge of soil mechanics, earthworks, geotechnical and foundation engineering
  • Ability to assess and check adequacy of existing structures (pipe racks, buildings, equipment foundations, etc.)
  • Knowledge of design of roads, paving, culverts & bridges
  • Understanding and design knowledge of underground drainage network
  • Hands on experience in using industry standard software such as STAAD PRO, ETABS, MAT3D, FDN3D, PROKON, AUTOCAD, etc.
  • Knowledge of national/international codes & standards and industry practices ( ACI, AISC, ASCE, BS, BS EN, ASTM, ADIBC, IBC, PIP, SHELL DEP, etc.)
  • Knowledge of ADNOC Specifications (AGES, DGS) is preferred

Experience OR Qualifications

  • Minimum Overall 15+ years of oil & gas experience.
  • Must have at least 3 to 5 Years experience working in SRU and Gas Processing projects.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering is a MUST.
  • FEED experience is a must.
  • PMC experience is an added advantage.
  • GCC experience required.
