Civil/Structure Engineering Lead (Marine Works)

Position Title: Civil/Structural Engineering Lead – Marine Works Position Overview The Civil/Structural Engineering Lead (Marine Works) is responsible for technical oversight, design review, structural integrity, and engineering management across major port, harbor, and coastal infrastructure projects. Operating within a PMC environment, the successful candidate will lead structural design reviews, direct multi-package coordination, manage design risk, and ensure all marine civil works strictly comply with international marine design standards, safety protocols, and project specifications.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Design Review Direct independent structural analysis, technical submittal reviews, and design approvals for heavy marine structures (quay walls, jetties, berths, mooring/berthing dolphins, breakwaters, dry docks, and intakes/outfalls). Verify finite element models and structural calculations using SAP2000 and other structural design software.

Assess and enforce durability measures for severe marine exposure (corrosion protection, splash zone concrete design, cathodic protection, fatigue, and scour mitigation). Lead value engineering, constructability reviews, and technical assessments to optimize design solutions and construction methods. Multi-Package Interface & Coordination Serve as the principal technical interface between key project groups across multi-package project environments: Design & Metocean Teams: Align structural parameters with hydrodynamic conditions, extreme wave/current loads, bathymetry, and scour profiles.

Geotechnical Teams: Integrate marine geotechnical investigation data, soil-structure interaction, piling capacities, and slope/retaining wall stability analysis. Construction Teams & Marine Contractors: Resolve technical site queries (RFIs), evaluate pile driving records, review marine plant constraints, and validate offshore erection sequences.

Planning & Project Controls: Monitor design schedules, track consultant deliverables, and manage technical risk logs. Risk Management & Quality Governance Formulate and implement design risk management strategies tailored to nearshore and offshore marine construction. Ensure all engineering deliverables conform to relevant international codes (BS 6349, PIANC, Eurocodes, ACI 357, ISO marine structural codes).

Lead technical audit meetings, risk workshops, and stakeholder alignment sessions.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited university (Mandatory). Work Experience: Minimum 10 to 12+ years of progressive engineering experience, with significant delivery experience at the PMC or Owner's Engineer level on heavy civil and marine infrastructure projects. Software Proficiency: Practical, hands-on experience with SAP2000 for structural modeling and dynamic analysis is required.

Technical Expertise: Proven track record in structural analysis, design review, multi-disciplinary coordination, and design risk mitigation for maritime works.

Preferred Qualifications

& Skills Advanced Education: Master’s Degree in Structural, Coastal, or Ocean Engineering (Strong structural design and management experience may substitute). Certifications: Professional Engineer (PE / CEng or regional equivalent) strongly preferred; Project Management Professional (PMP) is an advantage. Environment Experience: Proven background operating within complex, multi-package marine project environments.
