PURPOSE OF THE JOB:As a Facade Engineer specializing in glazing you will be responsible for the design development and implementation of glass facades for various construction projects. Youll work closely with architects structural engineers contractors and other stakeholders to ensure that the glazing systems meet aesthetic functional and safety requirements.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design Development: Collaborate with architects and other professionals to develop glazing concepts and designs that align with the projects vision aesthetic goals and performance requirements.
- Material Selection: Evaluate different types of glass coatings and framing systems to determine the most suitable options based on factors such as thermal performance structural integrity safety and budget.
- Structural Analysis: Conduct structural analysis and calculations to ensure that the selected glazing systems can withstand wind loads seismic forces and other environmental factors while maintaining safety and stability.
- Technical Drawings: Prepare detailed technical drawings specifications and documentation for the glazing systems including plans elevations sections and fabrication details using CAD software.
- Coordination: Coordinate with internal teams external consultants suppliers and contractors throughout the design procurement fabrication and installation phases to ensure seamless execution of the glazing work.
- Quality Assurance: Implement quality assurance procedures to verify that the glazing materials and installations comply with industry standards building codes and project specifications.
- Cost Estimation: Assist in cost estimation and budgeting for glazingrelated activities including material procurement fabrication installation and any required testing or inspections.
- Value Engineering: Identify opportunities for value engineering to optimize the performance cost and sustainability of the glazing systems without compromising quality or safety.
- ProblemSolving: Address technical challenges resolve design conflicts and provide innovative solutions to issues that may arise during the design fabrication or installation of glazing systems.
- Research and Development: Stay updated on industry trends technological advancements and best practices related to glass facades and building envelope systems and incorporate new knowledge into project designs.
KEY QUALIFICATIONS:
- Candidates MUST be immediately available and currently based in the UAE
- Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering Architectural Engineering Structural Engineering or a related field. Masters degree or specialized training in facade engineering is a plus.
- Proven experience (typically 5 years) in facade engineering with a focus on glazing systems for commercial residential or institutional buildings.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g. AutoCAD Revit) and structural analysis tools (e.g. ETABS SAP2000).
- Strong understanding of building codes standards (e.g. ASTM AAMA) and industry guidelines related to glazing design fabrication and installation.
- Excellent communication collaboration and project management skills.
- Attention to detail critical thinking ability and a proactive approach to problemsolving.
