Structural Designer

A Structural Designer creates plans for buildings, bridges, and other structures. You might work for engineering firms, construction companies, or government agencies. Using CAD software, you’ll develop drawings, analyse materials, and ensure designs meet safety standards.

Structural Designers need strong technical skills and attention to detail. You’ll collaborate with engineers and architects to create cost-effective, practical, and sustainable designs while ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
