* Review and respond to Requests for Information related to structural engineering issues, underground works, design coordination, technical discrepancies, and construction interfaces.
* Provide technical support to construction sites and help resolve design-related issues affecting quality, constructability, safety, progress, or compliance.
* Identify design discrepancies, structural risks, coordination gaps, incomplete documentation, and technical challenges.
* Evaluate engineering problems and recommend practical structural solutions based on design standards, project requirements, site conditions, and construction constraints.
* Participate in safety meetings and review proposed materials, installation demonstrations, construction systems, and construction methods.
* Support structural coordination for underground works, heavy civil structures, foundations, retaining systems, tunnels, transit infrastructure, and related civil assets.
* Review structural deliverables with consideration for geotechnical conditions, foundation behavior, durability, maintainability, construction sequencing, and long-term performance.
* Maintain clear records of review comments, technical decisions, site observations, action items, RFI responses, and coordination outcomes.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Minimum 8 years of experience in engineering design, construction support, structural review, and technical coordination.
* Proven experience in the design and delivery of major heavy civil, underground, rail, metro, transit, transportation, or infrastructure projects.
* Strong understanding of geotechnical engineering principles, foundation design, structural mechanics, and structural engineering design practices.
* Ability to review structural drawings, calculations, design-build documents, technical reports, contractor submittals, material submissions, construction methodologies, and RFIs.
