Responsibilities Develop structural designs, layouts, and detailed drawings for steel, concrete, and foundation systems that support industrial facilities. Utilize STAAD software to create structural analysis models and provide analysis support for design calculations under the direction of engineers. Create, update, and maintain accurate 3D models and fabrication drawings using Trek to support structural detailing and construction. Translate engineering concepts, sketches, and marked‑up drawings into complete, constructible design packages suitable for fabrication and field installation. Coordinate closely with internal disciplines, including mechanical, piping, and electrical teams, to ensure fully integrated and clash‑free designs. Produce general arrangement drawings, connection details, and erection drawings for structural steel and concrete systems. Support material take‑offs (MTOs) and assist in preparing procurement documentation to ensure accurate material quantities and specifications. Review vendor drawings and incorporate relevant information into project design deliverables to maintain alignment with overall project requirements. Ensure all drawings and models comply with applicable codes, industry standards, and client specifications. Participate in design reviews and collaborate with engineers and project teams to meet project scope, schedule, and quality expectations.
