Tasks may vary based on the progress of work and specific project requirements. This role

includes specialized expertise in high-rise building design, post-tension and precast structures, steel

structures, pile and shoring design, conduct structural assessments to identify the causes of

building cracks and prepare comprehensive reports and structural assessments for building

integrity.

Duties

A) Design Review:

• Conduct detailed reviews of project specifications, structural calculations, architectural

drawings, and geotechnical reports.

• Evaluate compliance with relevant codes, standards (including SBC Codes), and client

requirements.

• Prepare and issue Design Review Reports (DRR) based on findings.

• Utilize PRIMA-APAVE templates for reviews when structural calculation notes are

unavailable.

• Perform specialized reviews for high-rise buildings, post-tension and precast structures,

steel structures, pile and shoring designs.

• Conduct structural assessments to identify the causes of building cracks and prepare

comprehensive reports.

• Communication with Clients:

Request and follow up on missing documents, including but not limited to structural

drawings, architectural plans, soil reports, and proposal forms.

Ensure clear and professional communication via email and WhatsApp.

B) Initial Risk Assessment:

*Review geotechnical interpretative reports to verify:

- Site investigations and test adequacy.

-Soil layer characterization.

-Compliance of foundation solutions with design recommendations.

*Identify and document any reservations or technical comments in the Initial Risk Assessment

Report (RDO).

*Tracker and Documentation Management:

- Update project trackers daily with the status (e.g., on hold, ongoing, submitted).

- Inform relevant stakeholders about the availability of completed RDOs for portal upload.

*Inspection and Meetings:
