Lead Civil and Structural Engineer

Job Summary To lead all civil and structural engineering activities in facility foundations, infrastructure, and modifications, for the engineering department and plant operations, in order to ensure the structural integrity, stability, and safe operation of all physical assets that sustain production performance and protect company assets and personnel. Key Responsibilities Areas (KRAs) and Initiatives Structural Design and Engineering Excellence Develop, verify, and approve detailed structural designs and specifications for foundations, steel structures, and concrete works using industry codes (e.g., American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), American Concrete Institute (ACI), Eurocodes) to ensure reliable load bearing capacity, safety compliance, and robust asset integrity. Oversee the execution of complex structural analysis using specialized software (e.g., STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, Tekla) to ensure all structures withstand operational loads, environmental factors (wind, seismic, wave action), and potential blast scenarios without failure that prevent catastrophic asset damage and operational downtime. Lead the material selection process for structural components, concrete mixes, and coatings by coordinating with mechanical and piping engineers to ensure compatibility with the operating environment, resistance to corrosion, and adherence to company standards that maximize asset integrity and longevity. Manage the development and accuracy of C&S deliverables, including general arrangement drawings, fabrication details, and Bill of Materials (BOMs), by implementing rigorous quality control checks to ensure fabrication accuracy and reliable construction that prevents rework and project delays. Provide project scoping input during Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) by ensuring accurate material estimates for concrete, steel, and earthworks to ensure effective capital allocation and robust project planning that prevents budget overruns. Site Infrastructure and Geotechnical Management Manage geotechnical investigation requirements and data interpretation by coordinating with specialist consultants and reviewing soil reports to ensure appropriate foundation designs are developed that guarantee stability and prevent structural settlement issues. Develop and approve site preparation plans, including earthworks, drainage systems, and road designs, by coordinating with local authorities and environmental teams to ensure effective water management, safe access, and compliance with local regulations. Oversee the design of non-process civil infrastructure such as control buildings, substations, and utility buildings by applying relevant building codes and safety standards to ensure robust, safe, and compliant support facilities for all personnel and critical equipment. Ensure the implementation of flood mitigation and drainage strategies across the facility by reviewing topographical surveys and applying engineering best practices to protect critical ass
