## Job description

## About e.construct

[e.construct](https://econstruct.co/)  is an engineering firm that specializes in providing elegant engineering solutions for complex challenges. e.construct is a fast-growing firm with 7 offices around the world. At our core, we question how the very nature of how to evolve the structures that we inhabit to increase their performance and value.  Our work is driven by exceptional engineers from diverse disciplines working collaboratively in a truly holistic design process which generates high-performing systems.

[e.construct](https://econstruct.co/) designs structures such as bridges, high-rise design, commercial facilities design, precast concrete engineering, and post-tensioning design. We are a multi-disciplinary engineering design firm with specialized design and value engineering services.  The firm's core work is holistic at its approach, and it has divisions in structural, MEP, Geotechnical, and emerging construction technology such as 3D printing of concrete, technology, and 3D laser scanning.

Responsibilities:

- Assist in the structural design of bridge projects, including concrete, steel, and composite bridges.
- Perform basic structural analyses under supervision, including load calculations, modeling, and design checks.
- Review and validate drawings, models, and calculations to ensure compliance with bridge design codes (AASHTO, BS, Eurocodes, etc.).
- Support preparation of technical reports, design briefs, and presentations.
- Collaborate with senior engineers and multidisciplinary teams (Geotechnical, MEP, Architectural, Construction) to ensure design integration.
- Learn and apply advanced bridge design software and engineering best practices.

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
- 1–3 years of bridge design experience is required.
- Proficiency or familiarity with bridge design software (e.g., MIDAS Civil, LUSAS, SAP2000, CSI Bridge).
- Basic understanding of international bridge design codes (AASHTO LRFD, BS 5400, Eurocodes).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Good communication skills and willingness to learn from senior engineers.

## About econstruct

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: A deep tech lab incubated within e.construct that builds AI‑powered structural optimization tools to reduce raw material usage in buildings and bridges.
- **Entity Type**: Private (startup, incubated within larger engineering firm e.construct)
- **Headquarters**: Dubai, UAE (with offices in Cairo, Kuwait, Raleigh, NC)
- **Founded**: The parent firm e.construct was founded in 2002; the VAES tech lab was launched later (exact year not publicly available)
- **Founders**: Three senior engineers founded e.construct in 2002; the founders of the VAES lab are not separately named

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Structural engineering / Construction technology (ConTech)
- **Target customers**: B2B – engineering firms, contractors, developers, material suppliers
- **Mission**: “To design and build high performing structures. To reduce worldwide raw materials and raw energy.” [econstruct.ai](https://econstruct.ai/)

## Products & Services
- **[VAES.ai Workbench](https://econstruct.ai/)**: A platform that houses Engineering Scripts and Engineering Products – automation tools for structural design, optimization, and analysis (SaaS / desktop application).
- **VAES.ai Client Portal**: Web interface allowing clients to interact with the tech and generate material savings.
- **Engineering Scripts & Products**: Custom automation tools developed by computational structural engineers (CSEs) for specific engineering tasks.
- **tBE (The Built Environment)**: Research platform examining the environmental impact of the built environment.
- **Future LLM Product**: Planned agentic systems and LLM‑powered design tools (roadmap mid‑to‑end 2026). [jobs.lever.co](https://jobs.lever.co/econstruct/34ac62df-eea1-4101-b128-0186d8f1d136)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (private startup)
- **Key Metric**: Not publicly available – revenue and funding details are not disclosed
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly available – the lab is incubated by e.construct, a well‑established engineering firm with 180+ employees and 7 offices globally
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - The VAES team currently has 3 software engineers and 12 computational structural engineers.
  - The parent firm e.construct has grown to over 180 engineers, architects, and detailers across UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, and the USA.
  - Tech is already implemented in real‑life projects with “significant savings” (specific figures not disclosed). [econstruct.com](https://econstruct.com/about)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep tech moat**: Combines structural engineering domain expertise with machine learning and optimization algorithms – a rare intersection.
- **Proven inefficiency data**: Research team extracted 400+ peer‑reviewed papers representing ~1,900 structures with an average structural inefficiency of 21%.
- **Sustainability‑driven**: Directly addresses the 39% of global carbon emissions from building and construction.
- **Real‑world impact**: Tools are already deployed on live projects, not just theoretical.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale the software team and product suite (moving from scripts to full product).
- Develop agentic systems and LLM applications for structural design (target mid‑2026).
- Build partnerships with academic institutions and contribute to open‑source movements.
- Expand the VAES ecosystem (Workbench, Client Portal, future hardware on roadmap). [jobs.lever.co](https://jobs.lever.co/econstruct/34ac62df-eea1-4101-b128-0186d8f1d136)

## Why Work Here
- **Early‑stage deep tech**: Join as one of the first software engineers (team of 3 SWEs) and shape the product, architecture, and culture.
- **Multidisciplinary collaboration**: Work alongside computational structural engineers, ML experts, and designers.
- **Ownership & impact**: Stock options offered; work directly with CTO (ex‑Pinterest/Insuretech) and CEO.
- **Sustainability mission**: “Sustainability is in our DNA” – the company was founded with environmental impact as core.
- **Work environment**: Remote‑friendly? Job postings mention “On‑site” in Dubai, Cairo, and Raleigh, but also “occasional travel” – likely hybrid/office‑based for core team.
- **Competitive compensation**: Salary in USD; opportunities for professional growth and mentorship. [jobs.lever.co](https://jobs.lever.co/econstruct/7f05a35e-d7ca-46f5-b38d-e0c312c87eab)
