Key Responsibilities

• Perform structural design and analysis of E-House modules, including steel frames, base skids, and support structures
• Develop and review 3D structural models using software such as STAAD Pro, SAP2000, or SACS
• Apply and evaluate critical load cases including:Lifting and crane operationsTransportation and load-out conditionsEquipment and operational loadsEnvironmental loads (wind, seismic where applicable)
• Ensure structural integrity, stability, and compliance with design codes (Eurocode, AISC, DNV, project specifications)
• Review vendor drawings, calculations, and design submissions to ensure technical compliance
• Perform design checks on structural elements including beams, columns, connections, and padeyes
• Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, and layout teams to ensure proper integration of equipment within E-House modules
• Support fabrication activities by ensuring constructability and alignment with yard practices
• Prepare and review engineering documentation including calculation reports, design basis, and technical specifications
• Identify and resolve design issues, deviations, and technical risks

Requirements

• Degree in Civil / Structural Engineering or equivalent
• 5-8 years of experience in structural design within power, oil & gas, or industrial projects
• Strong experience in steel structural design and modular structures
• Prior experience working on E-House, skids, or modular equipment structures is highly preferred
• Hands-on experience with structural analysis tools such as STAAD Pro, SAP2000, or SACS

• Familiarity with international design standards (Eurocode, AISC, DNV)
• Experience working with fabrication yards or modular construction environments is advantageous
• Strong coordination skills across multi-disciplinary engineering teams

Why Apply

• Opportunity to work on high-value modular substation and E-House projects
• Exposure to global engineering standards and complex structural design challenges
• Hands-on involvement in full project lifecycle from design to fabrication
• Dynamic project environment with strong technical learning opportunities

Additional Information

• Contract duration: 12 months (extendable based on project needs)
• Role is based in Singapore with potential coordination with fabrication yards and regional teams
