This position will offer you the opportunity to directly apply your experience and knowledge of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design to support creative, cost-effective solutions for existing and new designs. You will work on a wide range of power plant and industrial facility modifications and upgrades to support client requests and reviews including creating calculations, design documents, and specifications.

• You will help develop conceptual and detailed designs for new power generation such as gas turbine based simple and combined cycle facilities.
• Using state-of-the-art computer tools, perform structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment and piping supports, and foundations.
• Prepare technical specifications for EPC based projects, as well as structural materials for power production.
• Prepare engineering studies, including FEED studies, associated with the power industry.
• Assist project managers in efforts to ensure projects are completed satisfactorily, on time, and within budget.
• As a structural lead, you will provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers, including guidance with the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of structural engineering work.
• Coordinate and provide guidance to other engineers, project managers, client personnel, and suppliers to ensure a complete and timely design.
• Perform independent reviews of work performed by others including calculations and drawing preparation.
• Perform reviews of existing facilities to propose upgrades and replacements, and present findings and recommendations to clients and peers. This may include performing on-site structural condition assessments and recommendations for repair/modification of existing structures that have various levels of degradation or are being repurposed.
• Develop your career via peer-learning through sharing of knowledge with other experienced engineers by way of S&L’s systems of process and associated “Communities of Practice.”
• Client interface will likely include travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for condition assessments, construction coordination and field verification of designs. 

This position is UAE based.

Essential skills and experience:

• This position requires a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering (Master's in Civil Engineering preferred) with structural engineering emphasis.
• Ten or more years of working as a member of a project team environment in the design of non-commercial, heavy industrial plants, with a focus on the analysis of steel structures, concrete foundations and supports for new plants or modifications or replacements for existing plants. Experience must include the selection of structural materials and the review and preparation of specifications.
• Six or more years of experience in leading an engineering design team through all phases of a project design.
• Experience with serving as firm/client liaison in a lead engineering role and the ability to manage multiple tasks / projects at once.
• Technically knowledgeable of the practical application of structural engineering including analysis for structural supports, loads, and design integrity.
• Experience with the design techniques, tools, and principles involved in the production of technical plans, drawings, and models for industrial plants.
• Familiarity with any of the following programs: MathCad, STAAD PRO, SAP2000, SAFE, STRUDL, or ANSYS.
• Experience with international codes and standards.
• Familiarity with design codes and standards such as IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, and ACI 318.
• Proficiency with MS Office applications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Structural lead role for detailed design of new generation facilities such as simple cycle and/or combined cycle project(s) is preferred.

Valued but not required skills and experience:

• Professional licensing a plus.
• Proposal development experience a plus.
• Construction and start-up experience a plus.
• Commissioning experience a plus.
