Structural Engineer

Project overview

The structural engineer performs the assignment independently and determines their own work method, work organization, and planning, within the agreed assignment, quality frameworks, and delivery times. The structural engineer coordinates substantive issues with the client and relevant parties as needed, without hierarchical direction. The client provides the necessary information and assesses the delivered assessments and advice against the pre-agreed results and quality requirements. The work is performed result-oriented.

The structural engineer is responsible for organizing the necessary deployment and resources. The assignment is limited in scope, is not aimed at fulfilling a structural role within the line organization, and does not lead to the replacement of an employee. The structural engineer is not directed in the daily execution of tasks.
