we design structures such as bridges, high-rise design, precast concrete engineering and post-tensioning design. The firm's core work is structural engineering; however, e.construct is increasingly holistic at its approach to buildings and it has divisions in MEP, Geotechnical and emerging construction technology such as 3D printing of concrete, technology and 3D laser scanning.
VAES.aiWe are a tech startup that is being incubated in the technology lab of e.construct and we employ technology to empower and eventually transform engineering. VAES’s mission is to reduce the amount of raw materials we design in our buildings and bridges by using optimization algorithms and machine learning.
VAES consists of a team of software developers, civil engineers, machine learning experts, architects and graphic designers that builds tools that engineers can use to design and manufacture the next generation of cities.
Position Summary: We are seeking an experienced Senior Structural Engineer to execute and manage complex structural engineering tasks for large-scale projects. This role requires advanced technical proficiency, value engineering skills, and the ability to deliver high-quality structural solutions under minimal supervision. The ideal candidate will demonstrate expertise in structural design, effective project management, and the ability to mentor junior team members while driving innovation and technical excellence.
