About the Role:

Kaling Technocrat & Co., a reputed structural consultancy firm specializing in RCC and steel design, retrofitting, and construction audit services, is inviting applications for the post of Junior Structural Engineer. This position is ideal for technically proficient individuals seeking hands-on exposure in structural analysis, ETABS modeling, site-based structural assessments, and reporting.

The selected candidate will be actively involved in structural design support, field data interpretation, and reporting of non-destructive testing (NDT), among other essential project engineering tasks.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Structural Analysis & ETABS Modeling Support

• Assist senior engineers in ETABS modeling of RCC and steel buildings.

• Interpret structural behavior by extracting and analyzing:

• Member forces (axial, shear, moment)

• Displacements and drifts

• Steel cross-sections and code compliance results

• Review and update wind and seismic data as per IS 875 and IS 1893, and apply them correctly in the model.

• Prepare design load calculations, including:

• Dead load, Live load, Seismic load, Wind load

• Superimposed loads due to façade, terrace structures, solar loads, etc.

• Assist in finalizing foundation design calculations for isolated, combined, and raft foundations.

2. Structural Member Test & NDT Reporting

• Coordinate and assist in conducting on-site Structural Member Tests (SMT) and Non-Destructive Tests (NDT) such as:

• Rebound Hammer Test (RHT)

• Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV)

• Half-Cell Potential

• Carbonation Test

• Core Cutting & Sampling

• Rebar Locator/Scanner

• Steel Ultrasonic Thickness

• Dye Penetrant Testing (DP)

• Record test data accurately and prepare interpretive technical reports with observations, structural inferences, and safety conclusions.

• Correlate NDT test results with as-built structural conditions for audit reports and retrofitting suggestions.

3. Foundation & Structural Detailing Coordination

• Support preparation of foundation design spreadsheets and comparative analysis for bearing capacity assumptions.

• Liaise with draftsman and ensure structural drawings align with the design intent.

• Coordinate reinforcement detailing of columns, beams, slabs, and foundations.

4. Construction Site Coordination & Reporting

• Visit construction sites for supervision, data gathering, and to assess implementation of structural recommendations.

• Prepare weekly progress reports, highlighting:

• Construction status

• Deviations from drawing/design

• Material observations

• Safety and quality control insights

• Assist in preparation of method statements, work sequences, and construction checklists.

5. Technical Documentation & Client Coordination

• Draft and maintain:

• Structural audit reports

• Strengthening and retrofitting recommendations

• Load calculation files

• Design basis reports

• Attend review meetings and coordinate technical queries with clients, contractors, and consultants.

Essential Technical Skills:

• Proficient in ETABS (Required), SAFE (Preferred), AutoCAD

• Strong in load calculation methodologies per IS 875 (Part 1–5), IS 1893, IS 456, IS 800

• Basic understanding of structural design principles for RCC and steel members

• Experience in interpreting NDT results and correlating them with structural safety

• Familiarity with MS Excel, Word, and report writing templates

Soft Skills:

• High level of technical curiosity and a learning mindset

• Strong analytical and interpretative skills

• Ability to document observations clearly and succinctly

• Good coordination and communication skills

• Willingness to travel for site visits, inspections, and audits

Compensation:

• Probation Period (3 Months): ₹18,000 per month

• Post-Probation (Full-time): ₹20,000 per month
