PAINPOINT: Client needs a seasoned structural engineer to assist with a modular building project for a site in Lae, Papua New Guinea. He has a complete 3D Revit model and needs the structural calculations and checks done (spans, rafters, beams, overall stability)
TOOLS EXPERTISE REQUIREMENT : Revit, analysis software for example ETABS, SPACE GASS, STAAD or SAP2000 (Tools Revit and analysis software licenses to be provided by the client)
Key responsibilities
Perform structural calculations for the modular building, including loads, spans, rafters, beams, connections and overall stability.
Review the existing 3D Revit model and drawings, and confirm the structure is sound against Australian standards.
Assess site requirements (wind region, soil and ground conditions, site category) from the information the client provides, and calculate accordingly.
Prepare clear calculation packages, mark-ups and design notes that the client's RPEQ can review and certify efficiently.
Flag gaps, risks and missing information early, and propose solutions rather than waiting for instructions.
Respond to RPEQ review comments and update calculations and drawings.
Keep the client updated with regular progress reports and clear written communication.

Must-have requirements
Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, and a current Philippine PRC engineering license. Must be licensed and registered to sign off on all engineering calculations.
At least 10 years of structural engineering experience (20 years preferred).
Proven leader who takes initiative, thinks independently and drives work to completion without hand-holding.
Demonstrated experience working fully remotely, delivering without close supervision.
Hands-on experience with Australian or equivalent standards for loads, steel, concrete and timber. Australian standards used on this project include AS/NZS 1170 (actions and wind), AS 4100 (steel), AS 3600 (concrete) and AS 1720 (timber).
Strong working knowledge of Revit and structural analysis software (for example ETABS, SPACE GASS, STAAD or SAP2000).
Experience with modular, light-steel or timber-framed buildings.
Excellent written and spoken English, with clear, concise reporting.

International project experience outside the Philippines, such as Papua New Guinea, Australia or New Zealand.
Experience designing to the Australian National Construction Code (NCC) and in cyclonic or high-wind regions.
Experience in a design-and-build, prefabrication or offsite construction environment.
Registration or progress toward Engineers Australia (CPEng/NER) or RPEQ. This is an advantage, because sign-off stays with the client's RPEQ.
