Job Overview

We are expanding our Engineering & Design Center in Dubai and seeking an experienced Senior Civil & Structural Design Engineer with proven experience in HV/EHV Substation Projects (132kV, 220kV, 400kV and above).

The successful candidate must have strong hands-on civil and structural design experience in AIS/GIS substations, including foundations, buildings, equipment supporting structures, and associated infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Perform civil and structural engineering design for HV/EHV AIS and GIS substations.

Design foundations for power transformers, GIS/AIS equipment, circuit breakers, gantries, and steel support structures.

Perform structural analysis and design of control buildings, GIS buildings, steel structures, and reinforced concrete structures.

Prepare structural calculations, foundation drawings, general arrangement drawings, and detailed engineering deliverables.

Design cable trenches, cable pits, retaining walls, underground structures, and associated civil works.

Review geotechnical reports, soil investigation data, and foundation design requirements.

Coordinate with primary electrical, secondary electrical, and MEP engineering teams.

Review engineering drawings, technical specifications, material submissions, and design documentation.

Ensure compliance with relevant international standards and project/client requirements.

Support technical submissions and design approvals for UAE/GCC power utility projects.

Mandatory Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.

Minimum 7 years of relevant civil/structural design experience, including substantial HV/EHV substation project experience.

Direct hands-on experience in 132kV/220kV/400kV AIS or GIS substation civil and structural design is mandatory.

Strong knowledge of reinforced concrete, structural steel, and equipment foundation design.

Proficiency in STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAFE or equivalent structural design software.

Strong AutoCAD skills and ability to prepare/review detailed engineering drawings.

Knowledge of ACI, AISC, Eurocodes, BS or other applicable international design standards.

Experience in EPC engineering design and multidisciplinary coordination.

Preferred Qualifications

UAE/GCC substation project experience.

Familiarity with DEWA, TRANSCO/TAQA, SEWA, or other GCC utility requirements.

Experience with 400kV GIS substation projects.

Experience working with engineering consultants or EPC contractors.

Familiarity with Civil 3D, Revit, or BIM.

Important

Candidates with only building construction, general infrastructure, site supervision, or non-substation structural experience will not be considered.

We are looking for engineers with actual substation civil and structural design experience, not construction-only backgrounds.
