Job Description
As a Lead Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for the structural engineering discipline in construction projects from the early stages through to the final construction drawings. The role involves clear technical, financial, and quality-related responsibilities, with a particular focus on structural calculations, sizing, and the selection of load-bearing systems.
You will work closely with clients, architects, and other disciplines and serve as the primary technical contact for the projects. A typical workweek consists of technical calculation work, coordination and design meetings, mentoring structural engineers, and reviewing and quality-assuring documents.
Projects vary in size and complexity and may include security-classified assignments. Over time, the role may evolve toward greater project responsibility, specialist roles in advanced structural engineering, or broader technical leadership within AFRY.
The position is based in Umeå or Mora.
Qualifications
To succeed in the role of Project Lead Structural Engineer, you have a solid technical foundation and many years of experience in structural engineering. You are confident in making technical decisions, leading structural engineering work on projects, and taking responsibility for quality, schedule, and budget.
The role requires:
- At least 8 years of experience as a structural engineer
- Very strong expertise in structural analysis and design
- Documented experience working in accordance with Eurocodes and BBR
- Experience managing projects with responsibility for quality, schedule, and budget
- Proficiency in Revit and/or Tekla
- Excellent written and spoken Swedish
- Class B driver’s license
In addition, you possess strong analytical skills and a structured approach to work, enabling you to handle complex technical challenges and find robust, cost-effective solutions. You thrive in a leading technical role and find it easy to collaborate and communicate with both colleagues and clients.
The following are considered a plus:
- Experience with complex projects, such as hospitals, defense facilities, or security-classified buildings
- In-depth expertise in steel and/or concrete construction
- Certifications or specialist roles in structural engineering or construction design
