Structural Design Engineer

About the Role

The Precast Works Competency Centre (PWCC) is a capability-based centre within the L&T Construction Group focused on achieving excellence in precast works through world-class skill, quality, and safety. The centre leverages state-of-the-art technology and a lean team for cost-effective and timely execution, aiming to enhance long-term growth and fulfill business needs. The role of an Engineer within PWCC is pivotal for design efficiency, conducting peer reviews for standardization, and contributing to R&D for innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build proposals for structural systems/framing to adopt Precast construction.
• Concept development and design philosophy verification.
• Adoption of a construction-friendly design approach.
• Complete LRSS design for preliminary as well as detailed analysis.
• Prepare budgetary design BoQs.
• Interact with internal and external clients to present and convert proposals.
• Perform peer reviews (verification of design and detailing of elements and connections).
• Review assigned projects from L&T Construction IC in the areas of buildings and infrastructure projects to ensure accuracy, standardization, and structural integrity in permanent as well as construction phases.
• Finite element modelling of various design elements involved in precast construction for both permanent and temporary design.
• Micro-level modelling and analysis of connections, moulds, and lifting devices to explore value engineering.
• Conduct research and development related to precast and its applications.
• Evaluate modern materials as well as methodologies.
• Explore value engineering areas beyond conventional wisdom to build cost-effective micro solutions, develop suitable test programs, analyze, and review reports that will aid design efficiency.
• Conduct site interactions and inspections, visiting various sites frequently for a first-hand understanding of challenges and evaluation of performance of adopted solutions.
• Focus on continual marginal improvement in design and execution.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Proficiency in digital tools is paramount, particularly in finite element analysis with ETABS and STAAD.
• Proficiency in component-level analysis using advanced FEA software such as ABAQUS, Ansys, or DIANA FEA.
• Proficiency with engineering tools like MathCAD, Excel, and MS Office products is highly desirable.

Qualifications

• Robust and versatile design experience.
• Clear engineering design concept.
• Proven track record in various tall buildings and/or major infrastructure projects in Precast Construction.
• Experience designing projects from inception to completion, including LRSS, Foundation, Superstructure, Connections, Structural and Non-Structural Components.
