Job Description

Structural Design Engineer

We are seeking a skilled Structural Design Engineer to take responsibility for the design, analysis, and optimization of solar mounting structures. The ideal candidate will demonstrate expertise in structural engineering principles, proficiency in STAAD modelling, and a strong understanding of Indian building and structural codes. Familiarity with Eurocodes and U.S. standards is a plus. This role involves ensuring designs meet all quality and compliance standards for diverse installation conditions across various geographies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and analyze solar mounting structures using STAAD software to ensure compliance with structural integrity, safety, and Indian building codes.
• Conduct load analysis, including wind, seismic, and snow loads, specific to project locations across India, and where applicable, according to Eurocode or U.S. standards.
• Optimize designs for structural stability, durability, and cost efficiency based on site-specific requirements.
• Ensure designs comply with Indian standards (such as IS 800, IS 801, IS 456, and IS 875), as well as relevant guidelines for wind and seismic design in India.
• Maintain familiarity with Eurocodes and American standards (ASCE, AISC) as an advantage for projects or requirements outside India.
• Adapt designs to meet evolving industry trends, material advancements, and best practices in structural design for solar applications.
• Prepare detailed structural analysis reports, engineering drawings, and specifications to document design decisions, calculations, and compliance measures.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to provide project documentation and support seamless integration with project requirements.
• Collaborate with project teams to understand and incorporate site-specific needs, addressing engineering challenges and client specifications.
• Support field teams and resolve on-site issues related to structural aspects of mounting systems, ensuring that field challenges are addressed efficiently.
• Conduct quality checks and peer reviews of designs to verify compliance with Indian codes and ensure high standards of accuracy and safety.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by integrating feedback and identifying opportunities for design enhancements.
