As a structural engineer, you are the specialist in the field of designing concrete and steel structures such as quay walls, jetties, docks, retaining walls, locks, and weirs. Your tasks include, among other things, designing and evaluating this type of structures. On a regular basis, you also work on objects in the "dry" infrastructure such as (movable) bridges, tunnels, and underpasses. You design and test these works based on current codes, standards and guidelines. For that, you master the common design software and Finite Element packages such as SCIA and RFEM. Knowledge of Eurocode and other standards is a plus, but at the start of your work, you will collaborate closely with other colleagues to help you navigate specific aspects of our field. 

We are involved in all phases where projects can be, from feasibility to execution design. We do this on both the client side as well the contractor side. This makes our work diverse and challenging. Some notable projects that your future team has worked on are:

• Intake and outlets
• Weirs
