About Us:

Winfra is a leading company in the field of modular tanks, silos, and advanced infrastructure solutions. We work across water storage, community projects, food storage, and renewable energy sectors. To strengthen our engineering team, we are looking for a Metal Structural Design Engineer with strong expertise in steel design and modern structural analysis software.

This role requires a detail-oriented engineer who can deliver safe, cost-effective, and efficient structural designs while collaborating with cross-functional teams from concept to execution.

Key Responsibilities

Structural Analysis & Design

• Carry out structural analysis and design of steel/metal structures such as tanks, silos, platforms, trusses, frames, staircases, and modular assemblies.
• Perform load calculations (dead load, live load, wind load, seismic load, snow load, hydrostatic load, etc.) as per IS codes and international standards.
• Develop detailed design models using STAAD Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, or equivalent tools.
• Validate structural stability against buckling, fatigue, vibration, and serviceability criteria.

Design Documentation & Drawings

• Prepare detailed design reports, structural drawings, fabrication drawings, and GA (General Arrangement) drawings using AutoCAD.
• Review vendor drawings and ensure alignment with design intent.
• Prepare BOQs (Bill of Quantities) and material specifications for procurement and fabrication.

Project Coordination

• Collaborate with project managers, architects, MEP engineers, and fabrication teams to ensure design feasibility.
• Provide technical support during manufacturing, fabrication, and site erection stages.
• Conduct design revisions, value engineering, and cost optimization without compromising safety and quality.
• Attend client meetings to explain design concepts and resolve queries.

Standards & Compliance

• Ensure all designs comply with IS codes (IS 800, IS 875, IS 456, IS 1893, IS 3370, etc.) and relevant international codes (Eurocode, AISC, BS, ASME).
• Maintain adherence to safety, durability, and sustainability standards in all structural designs.
• Stay updated on the latest industry practices, materials, and construction techniques.

Skills & Qualifications

• Education

  : B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Civil / Structural / Mechanical Engineering.

• Experience:

  3–7 years of hands-on experience in structural design of steel/metal structures (exceptional freshers with strong design knowledge may also apply).

Software Proficiency:

• STAAD Pro, ETABS, SAP2000

  – for structural analysis and design.

• AutoCAD

  – for drafting and drawings.
• Familiarity with Tekla Structures, Revit, or SolidWorks is an added advantage.

Technical Knowledge:

• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, steel design, and load calculations.
• Working knowledge of connection design, welds, bolts, gusset plates, and fabrication detailing.
• Familiarity with finite element modeling (FEM) and structural optimization.

Other Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Strong report-writing and documentation abilities.

Why Join Winfra?

• Work on innovative modular tank and silo projects serving critical sectors like water, food storage, and renewable energy.
• Opportunity to apply advanced structural software in real-world engineering challenges.
• Exposure to end-to-end project cycles – from design to fabrication and erection.
• Collaborative and growth-driven work culture.
• Chance to contribute to infrastructure projects with community and environmental impact.
