Job Description
Technical Director Structural Design to lead the structural design function for iconic and large-scale commercial developments, including high-rise buildings, data centers, IT parks, and corporate campuses. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in complex structural systems, seismic and wind design, and the use of cutting-edge design software and digital tools. This is a strategic leadership role that combines technical oversight with innovation, cost optimization, and team development.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic & Technical Leadership
- Define structural design standards and strategies for large-scale commercial and high-rise projects.
- Lead the conceptual and detailed structural design for towers, podiums, basements, and specialized infrastructure like server halls (for data centers).
- Innovate and implement sustainable and resilient design solutions tailored to seismic zones, high wind regions, and heavy-load requirements (especially for data centers).
Project Oversight
- Review and approve structural designs, drawings, and calculations for compliance with IS codes, NBC, and relevant international standards (ACI, Eurocode, IBC).
- Provide technical direction from pre-design through construction documentation, ensuring coordination across architectural and MEP disciplines.
- Ensure structural systems meet both safety requirements and architectural vision.
Design Excellence
- Promote advanced design practices including the use of post-tensioning, precast systems, high-performance concrete, steel-composite structures, and seismic dampers.
