Structural Designer – Proposals

Structural Designer Proposals

Responsibilities

• Preliminary Structural Design & Layout:

• Review client requirements, architectural drawings, and project specifications to understand the scope and structural needs for various projects (e.g., industrial buildings, commercial structures, specialized foundations).
• Develop preliminary structural layouts, framing plans, and conceptual designs for proposals and bids.
• Suggest optimal structural systems (e.g., steel, concrete, pre-engineered building systems) based on project constraints, cost-efficiency, and functionality.

• Feasibility & Value Engineering:

• Perform basic feasibility studies and preliminary structural calculations to validate design concepts and ensure structural integrity for proposal purposes.
• Identify opportunities for value engineering to propose cost-effective and efficient structural solutions to potential clients.
• Contribute technical insights to project scoping discussions.

• Proposal Content Creation:

• Prepare high-quality structural design sketches, drawings, and 3D renderings (if applicable) for inclusion in technical proposals.
• Write clear, concise, and persuasive technical descriptions of proposed structural solutions for tender documents.
• Collaborate with the proposals team, estimators, and business development managers to ensure the structural scope is accurately reflected in commercial bids.

• Cost Estimation Support:

• Assist the estimation team by providing accurate preliminary material take-offs and structural system details to support cost estimation for proposals.
• Provide input on potential cost drivers related to structural design choices.

• Software Utilization:

• Utilize structural design software (e.g.,

  AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, STAAD.Pro, ETABS, Revit Structure

  ) for preliminary modeling, drafting, and visualization as required for proposals.

• Collaboration & Communication:

• Work closely with the sales, business development, and estimation teams to understand client needs and align structural proposals with overall project objectives.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings and client discussions to present structural design concepts and address technical queries.

• Market & Technical Research:

• Stay updated with the latest structural design trends, materials, construction techniques, and relevant Indian Building Codes (

  IS codes

  ).
• Research competitor structural offerings and industry best practices to enhance proposal quality.
