* Support the Lead Civil Engineer and Senior Structural Engineers with technical reports, investigations, root cause analysis, engineering status reports, and design review summaries.
* Assist in monitoring scope compliance, project budgets, design schedules, deliverable progress, and engineering commitments.
* Provide structural engineering support to multidisciplinary teams including architectural, MEP, civil, construction, project controls, and site delivery groups.
* Coordinate with clients, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and internal teams to support timely delivery of structural design and engineering activities.
* Attend inspections, testing, witness activities, acceptance reviews, installation demonstrations, and site verification sessions when required.
* Review and respond to Requests for Information related to structural engineering, design coordination, technical discrepancies, and construction interface matters.
* Provide practical technical support to construction sites and help resolve design-related issues that may affect safety, quality, constructability, or progress.
* Identify design discrepancies, structural risks, technical challenges, incomplete documentation, and coordination gaps.
* Recommend sound engineering solutions based on structural mechanics, foundation design principles, site conditions, codes, and project constraints.
* Participate in safety meetings and support reviews of proposed materials, construction systems, and installation methods.
* Check that structural deliverables consider geotechnical information, foundation requirements, durability, maintainability, and construction sequencing.
* Support design coordination for heavy civil structures, transportation infrastructure, foundations, retaining systems, bridges, transit elements, and related structural assets.
* Maintain clear technical records, review comments, action logs, approval status updates, and coordination notes for assigned structural workstreams.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Minimum 8 years of experience in engineering design, structural review, and construction support.
* Proven experience supporting the design and delivery of major heavy civil, infrastructure, rail, metro, transit, or transportation projects.
* Strong understanding of structural mechanics, structural engineering design practices, geotechnical engineering principles, and foundation design.
* Ability to review structural drawings, calculations, technical reports, design-build submissions, contractor submittals, and construction methodologies.
