The posting

Tatu City is hiring a Field Civil and Structural Engineer. The role involves leading on‑site supervision of all structural works, ensuring compliance with drawings, specifications, and international standards. Responsibilities include conducting daily inspections, enforcing QA/QC programs, reviewing contractor submittals, and coordinating with design and engineering teams to resolve technical issues. The position requires strict oversight of safety practices, particularly in high‑risk activities, while maintaining accurate site records. Candidates must have extensive experience on high‑rise projects, strong technical proficiency in structural engineering and codes, and excellent problem‑solving and communication skills.

On-Site Technical Supervision & Quality Assurance:

  • Serve as the primary on-site technical expert for all structural works, including deep foundations, reinforced concrete, post-tensioning systems, and structural steel erection.
  • Conduct rigorous daily inspections of all structural activities, including rebar placement, formwork installation, concrete pouring, and post-tensioning stressing, to ensure strict compliance with approved drawings and technical specifications.
  • Implement and enforce the project's Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program for all structural components, meticulously documenting all inspections, tests, and any non-conformance issues.
  • Review and provide technical approval for contractor submittals, including shop drawings, material certificates, concrete mix designs, and method statements.
  • Proactively identify potential structural issues on-site and work with the contractor and design teams to implement timely and effective solutions.

Coordination & Problem-Solving:

  • Interpret complex structural drawings and specifications to provide clear guidance to the contractor's site team.
  • Liaise directly with the design consultants to resolve technical queries (RFIs) and discrepancies discovered during construction.
  • Coordinate with other discipline field engineers (e.g., MEP, Architectural) to ensure that all structural embedment’s, block-outs, and penetrations are correctly located and installed.
  • Assist in maintaining accurate site records, including daily progress reports, inspection logs, and as-built information related to structural works.

Safety & Compliance:

  • Champion a culture of safety for all structural works, with a particular focus on formwork stability, working at height, and crane operations.
  • Ensure all construction activities are in full compliance with Kenyan building codes, local authority regulations, and international best practices (e.g., ACI, AISC).
  • Monitor contractor operations to ensure adherence to approved health and safety plans and procedures.

Requirements

Skills and Experience

  • Education: A bachelor’s degree in civil or Structural Engineering from an internationally recognized university is essential.
  • Experience: A minimum of 8-12 years of direct, post-graduate experience as a site-based structural engineer on large-scale construction projects. A proven track record on high-rise buildings (20+ storeys) is mandatory.
  • Industry Background: Extensive hands-on experience working for major international main contractors or construction supervision consultants is critical. Experience on giga projects or with leading EPC firms like Bechtel is a significant advantage.
  • International Exposure: Demonstrable, hands-on international project experience in challenging construction environments is essential.
  • Technical Proficiency: Expert knowledge of structural engineering principles and modern construction methodologies for high-rise buildings.
  • Must be highly skilled in reading and interpreting complex structural drawings and specifications. Proficiency in using relevant software like AutoCAD and basic structural analysis tools is required.
  • Codes and Standards: Working knowledge of international design codes such as ACI 318, AISC, and ASCE 7 is required.
