- Saudi Arabia
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Work closely with architects, project managers, and clients to understand project requirements, objectives, and constraints for precast construction.
- Develop conceptual designs, sketches, and design proposals for precast concrete elements, considering structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and constructability.
- Utilize CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software and BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools to create detailed design drawings, models, and specifications for precast components.
- Structural Analysis and Engineering:
- Perform structural analysis and calculations to assess the performance, stability, and load-bearing capacity of precast concrete elements and systems.
- Design reinforcement layouts, connections, and detailing for precast members to ensure structural integrity, durability, and compliance with design codes and standards.
- Collaborate with structural engineers and consultants to review design assumptions, methodologies, and solutions for precast construction projects.
- Material Selection and Specification:
- Select appropriate precast concrete materials, mixes, and finishes based on project requirements, environmental conditions, and performance criteria.
- Specify tolerances, finishes, and quality requirements for precast elements to meet architectural, engineering, and client specifications.
- Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturers to procure precast materials and components that meet quality standards and project deadlines.
- Design Coordination and Integration:
- Coordinate precast design activities with other disciplines, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical, to ensure seamless integration of precast elements into overall project designs.
- Collaborate with construction teams to address constructability issues, sequencing challenges, and coordination requirements for precast installation.
- Review shop drawings, fabrication details, and production schedules to verify compliance with design intent and project requirements.
- Quality Assurance and Control:
- Establish quality assurance processes and procedures to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of precast design deliverables.
- Conduct design reviews, peer assessments, and value engineering studies to optimize precast solutions and mitigate design risks.
- Perform site inspections and field evaluations to verify compliance with design specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
- Documentation and Reporting:
- Prepare comprehensive design documentation, reports, and presentations to communicate design concepts, analyses, and recommendations to project stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate records of design revisions, changes, and approvals throughout the design process.
- Provide technical support and expertise to project teams, clients, and contractors during precast design implementation and construction phases.
