   • Use engineering software (e.g. AutoCAD Revit ETABS SAP2000) to model analyze and design structural components.
     
   • Develop detailed design calculations drawings and specifications in compliance with relevant codes and standards.
     

2. Technical Support and Collaboration
   

   • Collaborate with architects designers and other engineers to integrate facade systems seamlessly with the overall building design.
     
   • Provide technical guidance and support during the design phase ensuring that structural aspects are fully coordinated with architectural and mechanical systems.
     
   • Review and approve shop drawings submittals and design documentation from subcontractors and suppliers.
     

3. Project Management and Coordination
   

   • Develop projectspecific design plans schedules and budgets ensuring timely and costeffective delivery of facade engineering services.
     
   • Coordinate with construction teams contractors and suppliers to resolve technical issues and ensure the successful implementation of facade designs.
     
   • Conduct site visits to inspect the installation of facade systems ensuring compliance with design specifications and quality standards.
     

4. Quality Assurance and Compliance
   

   • Ensure all designs and engineering solutions comply with relevant building codes standards and regulations (e.g. AISC Eurocode ASCE).
     
   • Perform quality checks and reviews of design documents calculations and project deliverables to maintain high standards of accuracy and safety.
     
   • Prepare and maintain technical reports documentation and records related to design analysis and compliance.
     

5. Innovation and Research
   

   • Stay updated with the latest advancements in facade engineering materials and construction technologies.
     
   • Research and develop innovative solutions to enhance the performance sustainability and aesthetics of facade systems.
     
   • Participate in design workshops seminars and industry conferences to exchange knowledge and keep abreast of emerging trends.
     

6. Client and Stakeholder Communication
   

   • Communicate technical information effectively to clients stakeholders and project teams ensuring a clear understanding of design intent and requirements.
     
   • Present design concepts solutions and progress updates to clients providing technical expertise and recommendations.
     
   • Address client queries and concerns promptly ensuring high levels of satisfaction and project success.
     

Key Skills and Qualifications:
