Civil Site Engineer (Metal Industries)

• Develop and design structural systems and components for metal fabrication projects (e.g., stair balustrades, frames, secondary steel).
• Perform structural analysis and load calculations to ensure safety, stability, and compliance with codes/standards.
• Select appropriate materials, sections, and connection types.
• Use design and analysis software like STAAD Pro, ETABS, AutoCAD, Tekla or similar tools.

2. Preparation of Engineering Documentation

• Prepare and review detailed drawings, Bill of Quantities (BOQ), technical specifications, and calculation packages.
• Review and approve shop drawings from draftsmen and fabrication teams.
• Produce reports and technical documentation for internal use or client submission.

3. Liaison & Coordination

• Coordinate with project managers, draftsmen, fabricators, and site teams to ensure engineering intent is clearly communicated and executed.
• Work with consultants, contractors, and suppliers on design clarifications and approvals.
• Support procurement by verifying technical submittals (e.g., materials, fabrication details).

4. Site Support & Inspection

• Conduct site visits/inspections to monitor fabrication, assembly, and installation quality.
• Ensure structural works comply with design, specifications, and safety requirements.
• Provide technical support during onsite challenges or modifications.

5. Quality, Safety, and Compliance

• Ensure all engineered components and processes comply with relevant codes, standards, and safety regulations.
• Liaise with quality control teams to verify materials and fabrication quality.
• Review risk assessments and method statements related to structural activities.

6. Project Management Support

• Assist in planning project timelines and deliverables where engineering input is needed.
• Track progress of engineering deliverables and help resolve delays.
• Support cost estimation and engineering changes for fabrication tasks.

Skills & Qualifications (Typical)

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (Master’s preferred for more advanced roles).
• Proficiency with structural design software and drafting tools.
• Strong knowledge of steel and metal behaviour, load-bearing principles, and structural standards.
• Good communication, coordination, and technical documentation skills.
• Experience in fabrication environments (steel/metal) or construction sectors is a plus.

Role Variants in a Metal Fabrication Firm

Depending on the company’s size and needs, the civil/structural engineer role might overlap with or support:

• Project or Fabrication Engineer (focus on managing technical delivery from design through production)
• Structural Checker (ensuring designs meet codes and fabrication capabilities)
• Site Engineering Support (onsite technical supervision during installation)
• Design Reviewer (cross-checking shop drawings and engineering submittals)
