Title:

KBR’s Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) group is looking for Onshore Civil & Structural Engineer to support Onshore Oil & Gas Development Projects involving large-scale processing units, utility facilities and associated infrastructure. The project requires delivery of comprehensive FEED and Detailed Engineering services for complex industrial facilities with high safety, schedule, and quality expectations. The role will contribute to engineering execution for high-value, fast-track packages in coordination with multidisciplinary global teams.

We are seeking an experienced Onshore Structural Engineer with strong capabilities in the static and dynamic analysis, design, and verification of onshore structures and foundation systems. The role involves delivering FEED and detailed engineering solutions for pipe racks, equipment and machine foundations, shelter structures, modular structures, skid-mounted units, tank foundations, pile foundations, and shallow foundations. The position requires close interdisciplinary coordination and application of industry-standard structural engineering tools to support the successful execution of onshore oil & gas projects.

Responsibilities: 

• Perform structural analysis, design, and verification of onshore structures including pipe racks, equipment and machine foundations, shelter structures, modular structures, skid-mounted units, tank foundations and base structures.
• Carry out structural analysis and design using STAAD Pro CONNECT Edition, including evaluation of operating, environmental, seismic and transportation load conditions.
• Perform static/dynamic analysis and design of machine foundations considering vibration criteria, soil–structure interaction, and equipment operational requirements using MAT3D or equivalent foundation analysis software.
• Design and analyse pile foundations, shallow foundations, and foundation systems to support static and dynamic equipment loads in accordance with project specifications and international design standards.
• Prepare structural design calculations, analysis models, design reports, material take-offs, and engineering documentation in compliance with applicable codes, client standards, and project requirements.
• Prepare and review structural drawings including GA drawings, foundation layouts, reinforcement details, and fabrication drawings to ensure technical accuracy, constructability, and project compliance.
• Review and verify vendor and equipment supplier drawings and data related to equipment loads, machine foundation requirements to ensure structural adequacy and integration within plant facilities.
• Coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary teams including geotechnical, piping, mechanical, electrical, and construction disciplines to ensure proper workflow, design integration, and timely project execution.
• Support FEED and Detailed Engineering activities including design optimization, constructability reviews, and resolution of interdisciplinary technical queries.
• Provide engineering support during construction, site execution, installation, and commissioning phases, including review of site queries, technical deviations, and field modifications.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or equivalent.
• 4 years of related experience in onshore structural engineering, with average experience ranging from 6-10 years.
• Hands-on experience in FEED and Detailed Engineering oil & gas projects.
• Strong knowledge of international structural and foundation design codes and standards (ACI, AISC, Eurocode, IS Codes, API, or equivalent project standards).
• Experience with structural analysis and design software such as STAAD Pro CONNECT Edition and foundation analysis software such as MAT3D or equivalent.
• Experience in the design and analysis of pipe racks, equipment and machine foundations, modular structures, tank foundations, pile foundations, and shallow foundations.
• Understanding of structural loadings including equipment loads, dynamic loads, wind, seismic, thermal, and operational loads applicable to onshore facilities.
• Good technical report writing, engineering documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Structural Engineering.
• Experience in brownfield projects, revamp projects, and plant expansion works within operating facilities.
• Strong experience in dynamic analysis and vibration assessment of machine foundations.
• Knowledge of advanced structural analysis including nonlinear analysis, seismic analysis, and time-history or response spectrum analysis.
• Familiarity with onshore construction methodologies, modularization, and fabrication practices.
• Experience working with international clients and EPC contractors.
