About The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Structural Engineer to join our team. The role is responsible for the structural design, analysis, and detailing of high‑voltage substations ranging from 400 kV, 132 kV, to 33 kV. The ideal candidate will focus primarily on the design of steel structures, including equipment support structures, gantries, towers, and other key substation components, ensuring compliance with applicable standards, safety regulations, and project requirements. The engineer will also collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver efficient, safe, and optimized structural solutions for complex substation projects.
Qualifications and Experience
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or a related discipline).
- Professional Registration: Chartered Engineer status (CEng) with the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) or the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of progressively responsible experience in structural design, with significant experience in the high‑voltage transmission and distribution utility sector.
Technical Skills and Knowledge
- Structural Design & Analysis: Expertise in the design and analysis of substation structures, including steel gantries, equipment foundations (transformers, circuit breakers, surge arresters), control buildings, and underground utilities (cable tunnels/trenches).
- Design Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in structural analysis and design software such as RFEM, Idea Statica, STAAD Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, or ANSYS. Drafting and layout tools like REVIT, TEKLA, AutoCAD, MicroStation, or Civil 3D. Familiarity with BIM and 3D modeling tools is preferred.
- Codes and Standards: Comprehensive knowledge and application of relevant international and regional design codes and utility standards, including Eurocodes, British Standards, IEC standards, and client‑specific utility standards such as National Grid and SSE.
- Site and Environmental Knowledge: Understanding of geotechnical constraints, site grading, and designing structures to withstand environmental loads (wind, seismic, extreme weather).
Management and Leadership Responsibilities
- Project Leadership: Lead projects from feasibility studies through detailed design, construction, and commissioning, managing timelines, budgets, and resources.
- Team Management: Provide leadership, mentorship, and technical guidance to a team of structural engineers, designers, and technical staff.
- Quality Assurance (QA/QC): Own or oversee the QA/QC strategy for the department, conduct design reviews, peer checks, and ensure all project deliverables meet quality benchmarks and regulatory compliance.
- Stakeholder Coordination: Liaise with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders, including clients, contractors, and regulatory bodies.
Key Competencies
- Strong analytical and complex problem‑solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for technical reports, presentations, and team coordination.
