• Perform structural calculations, load assessments, and geotechnical interface coordination.

• Develop technical drawings, structural schedules, specifications, and engineering documentation.

• Lead multidisciplinary coordination and clash detection (civil/structural vs. mechanical and electrical routing) in Navisworks.

• Respond to RFIs, review submittals, and approve/release design packages within the assigned scope.

• Coordinate with contractors and material suppliers on structural specifications and delivery.

• Support construction-phase activities, including site queries and inspections.

• Ensure compliance with applicable Brazilian structural and geotechnical standards (ABNT NBR).
