About e.construct
e.construct is an engineering firm that specializes in providing elegant engineering solutions for complex challenges. e.construct is a fast-growing firm with 7 offices around the world. At our core, we question how the very nature of how to evolve the structures that we inhabit to increase their performance and value. Our work is driven by exceptional engineers from diverse disciplines working collaboratively in a truly holistic design process which generates high-performing systems.
e.construct designs structures such as bridges, high-rise design, commercial facilities design, precast concrete engineering, and post-tensioning design. We are a multi-disciplinary engineering design firm with specialized design and value engineering services. The firm's core work is holistic at its approach, and it has divisions in structural, MEP, Geotechnical, and emerging construction technology such as 3D printing of concrete, technology, and 3D laser scanning.
As a Senior Structural Engineer, you lead a team of drafters, junior engineers, and structural engineers. You should have extensive experience in the industry and ideally have had some experience with research institutions or academia. You should be able to bridge between experimental and novel systems/research and traditional industry needs. This requires both a solid understanding of structural fundamentals and experience with complex projects including high-rise design to be able to fill this role. Diverse experience with various structural systems such as precast, post-tension, and structural steel is a plus.
