Facade Structural Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed structural calculations and designs for facade components such as curtain walls, cladding and glazing systems using specialized software.
• Perform load calculations including wind, seismic, and thermal loads to design facade systems that are structurally sound and resilient.
• Choose appropriate materials, e.g. glass, aluminum, steel, that meet both structural and performance requirements such as durability, fire resistance, and thermal efficiency.
• Oversee facade testing such as wind load and water infiltration tests to validate the system's performance and durability under environmental conditions.
• Work closely with architects, facade designers, and other engineers to ensure the facade integrates seamlessly with the building's overall design and systems.
• Analyze structural facade systems to ensure they meet building codes and withstand environmental loads, including wind, snow, and seismic ...
