Role Overview
Fair Construction is seeking a highly competent Structural Engineer with strong design
capability and practical site experience to join our growing technical team. The successful
candidate will lead the structural design lifecycle while actively supervising construction works to
ensure full compliance with approved designs, safety standards, and build quality.
This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who is equally comfortable performing structural
calculations and operating on active construction sites.
Key Responsibilities
Structural Design
• Develop structural systems for residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.
• Perform detailed structural analysis and calculations.
• Design reinforced concrete, masonry, and steel structures.
• Prepare structural drawings, specifications, and bar bending schedules.
Site Supervision & Technical Oversight
• Conduct regular site visits to monitor structural works.
• Ensure construction aligns fully with approved structural drawings.
• Inspect critical stages such as foundations, slabs, columns, beams, and roof structures.
• Provide immediate technical guidance when site challenges arise.
• Approve structural works before progression to subsequent stages.
Engineering Analysis
• Calculate structural loads including dead, live, wind, and seismic forces.
• Design foundations based on geotechnical reports.
• Ensure compliance with recognized international standards (Eurocodes, BS, ACI where
applicable).
Technical Coordination
• Collaborate closely with architects, MEP engineers, and quantity surveyors.
• Review architectural drawings to ensure structural feasibility.
• Provide practical, cost-efficient engineering solutions.
Quality & Risk Control
• Identify structural risks early and propose mitigation strategies.
• Support value engineering initiatives without compromising safety.
• Maintain thorough calculation records and documentation.

Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Minimum 3+ years of structural design experience
• Minimum 2+ years plus practical experience.
• MEP Experience is a plus
• Proven experience supervising building construction.
• Demonstrated involvement in the design of multi-storey buildings.
Technical Requirements
Strong working knowledge of one of these or all:
• ETABS
• SAFE
• STAAD or similar structural analysis software
• AutoCAD (Revit is an advantage)
Ability to independently produce a full structural design package is essential.
Preferred Candidate Profile
We are looking for an engineer who is:
✅ Technically strong in both design and field execution
✅ Detail-oriented and highly analytical
✅ Commercially aware with an understanding of cost implications
✅ Solutions-driven, not problem-focused
✅ Comfortable working in a fast-growing, high-performance environment
✅ Passionate about raising construction standards in the region
What Success Looks Like in This Role
• Structurally efficient designs that reduce unnecessary construction costs
• Strong structural presence on sites with minimal errors
• Early detection of technical issues before they become costly
• Excellent coordination with the technical and site teams
• Projects delivered safely and on schedule
Why Join Fair Construction?
• Be part of one of Somaliland’s fastest-growing construction firms
• Work on impactful residential and urban development projects
• Join a culture built on quality, discipline, and customer obsession
• Play a key role in shaping the future skyline of the region
