We are seeking an experienced Civil and Structural Lead to oversee all civil and structural engineering activities within the Airport Infrastructure Programme. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in both civil and structural engineering, with significant experience in large-scale infrastructure projects, especially in the airport or transportation sector. This leadership role will involve managing design teams, ensuring structural integrity, coordinating across multiple disciplines, and ensuring that the project’s civil and structural components meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance. What You’ll Be Doing: Leadership of Civil and Structural Design: - Lead and manage the civil and structural engineering design for the airport infrastructure, ensuring that all structural elements (e.g., terminals, runways, pavements, bridges, and utilities) are safe, efficient, and cost-effective. - Oversee the preparation of detailed civil and structural drawings, specifications, and calculations, ensuring compliance with project requirements, codes, and industry standards. - Direct the design process for both temporary and permanent structures, ensuring designs are integrated with other engineering disciplines (e.g., MEP, transportation, and architecture). - Provide technical guidance and mentorship to civil and structural engineers within the team, ensuring design excellence and adherence to best practices. Structural Integrity & Safety: - Ensure that all structural designs are safe, sound, and resilient, meeting both operational and regulatory requirements. - Conduct risk assessments and ensure that structural designs account for factors like load-bearing capacity, durability, seismic activity, and environmental conditions (e.g., weather, soil conditions). - Oversee the analysis and design of critical infrastructure, ensuring the safety and stability of the airport’s key structures, including airside facilities, terminals, and supporting infrastructure. Coordination Across Disciplines: - Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (e.g., electrical, mechanical, transportation, and environmental) to ensure integrated and coordinated design solutions. - Lead regular cross-functional design meetings to address issues, resolve conflicts, and ensure that all engineering disciplines are aligned with project goals. - Manage the coordination and integration of the civil and structural design with architecture and other project components. Project Management & Technical Oversight: - Develop and manage project schedules, ensuring that civil and structural engineering activities are completed on time and within budget. - Monitor project progress, quality, and performance, identifying potential issues early and implementing corrective actions as necessary. - Manage and review the work of external consultants and contractors, ensuring that all civil and structural designs meet the project’s technical and quality requirements. Compliance & Regulatory Oversight: - Ensure that all civil and structural engineering designs comply with local, national, and international codes, standards, and regulations (e.g., building codes, safety standards, environmental regulations). - Liaise with regulatory authorities to obtain necessary permits and approvals for civil and structural works. - Ensure that the designs adhere to sustainability goals, incorporating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions where possible. Quality Assurance & Risk Management: - Implement robust quality assurance and control procedures to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and safety of civil and structural designs. - Conduct design reviews, audits, and inspections to ensure that all civil and structural works meet required specifications and safety standards. - Identify and manage risks related to civil and structural design and execution, including site conditions, material specifications, and construction methods. Mentorship & Team Development: - Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers, helping them develop their skills and expertise in civil and structural engineering. - Conduct performance evaluations and foster a culture of continuous learning and professional growth within the civil and structural engineering team. - Promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing among team members, ensuring the delivery of high-quality engineering solutions.
