Relevant Structural engineering degree Analytical mindset and self-learning attitude Experienced in reinforced concrete structural calculations. Experienced and competent in finite element analysis and application Thorough understanding of concrete mechanics, including cracking and crushing, bond-slip and reinforcement behavior (yielding, rupture); Understanding of steel mechanics (yielding, fatigue); More general: understanding both brittle and ductile failure behavior; Basic understanding of dynamics (eigen modes and frequencies, damping); Thorough understanding of the finite element method, including mesh quality; Understanding of implicit numeric solvers (including the incremental iterative method) and explicit solvers. Symbolic mathematic skills (MathCad); Experience with applications like DIANA FEA or LS-DYNA. Geotechnical knowledge can be considered a plus Experienced of designing special types of structural elements like bridge abutments and piles or concrete massifs (solid) elements like retaining walls, locks or dams Piled foundations design and special foundation experience Hydrotechnical Structural design experience may be considered an advantage Experience and interest in scripting and automation tools Good structural mechanics knowledge Competent in the use of routine engineering software and/or spreadsheets for foundation, retaining structures, special structures Work experience and Standards use knowledge in design of Wind turbines foundations Programming/scripting skills (python); Blast assessment of a concrete building knowledge Stress determination in fatigue-sensitive polymer railway base plate knowledge Nonlinear or complex linear reassessments of concrete bridges Engineering experience of movable bridges Ability to guide and check work for junior staff.
