Responsibilities

- Design and configure antenna and antenna support structures (steel lattice towers, monopoles, and wireworks) and their foundations
- Calculate loads, perform structural analyses and check limit state strength, rigidity and stability
- Modal and finite element analysis of assemblies, components and parts
- Design guy cable assemblies, attachments, fittings and insulators
- Identify potential risks related to site designs and prepare risk assessment reports to ensure the safety of the structure and its equipment
- Validate structural designs through field testing and performance evaluations to ensure they meet requirements and standards
- Prepare detailed structural design reports and other technical documents for construction purposes
- Ensure all designs comply with industry standards and regulations (e.g., AS/NZS 1170, ANSI/TIA-222)
- Collaborate with Antenna IPT engineers to understand antenna requirements and ensure the system functions as a whole
- Design solutions for upgrading/strengthening existing structures to increase capacity or extend lifespan

Qualifications

- Bachelor degree in civil, structural or mechanical engineering
- Proficiency in structural modelling and analysis software (SPACE GASS, STAAD/Bentley, ANSYS, etc.)
- Experience creating drawings, markups and working instructions for CAD drafters
- Understanding of tower and mast standards (ANSI/TIA-222, AS 3995, AS 1170.2)
- Knowledge of materials properties, guy cables (metallic and non-metallic), fittings, insulators, welding, coatings
- Robust foundation in applied physics and mechanics for structural integrity
