Job description

The Senior Durability Engineer role based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates within Egis involves providing technical engineering expertise in service life design, durability assessment, and rehabilitation strategies for concrete infrastructure projects. The role requires utilizing numerical modeling and service life modeling to predict the service life of new structures and define performance requirements aligned with owner objectives. Responsibilities include material selection and testing of specialized concrete mixtures, conducting permeability testing, creep testing, shrinkage testing, and evaluating resistance to corrosion and chemical attack. The role requires conducting structural condition surveys, site inspections, and forensic engineering evaluations of existing concrete structures to identify degradation mechanisms including corrosion, alkali-silica reaction (ASR), sulfates, hydration effects, and microstructural deterioration. The Senior Durability Engineer develops rehabilitation design strategies and maintenance planning approaches to extend infrastructure service life. The role ensures compliance with technical codes and standards including ACI standards and ASTM standards while supporting infrastructure sustainability objectives. The position requires laboratory testing of concrete materials, site inspection activities, and utilization of service life modeling software such as STADIUM software and structural analysis tools to assess structural durability and long-term performance. The role supports sustainable infrastructure development and contributes to intelligent infrastructure engineering, climate resilience, and lifecycle performance optimization across infrastructure and building projects.
