  • Plan and conduct material and fire tests (compressive/flexural strength, chloride ingress/RCPT, TGA/DSC, cone calorimetry, thermal conductivity/specific heat, furnace tests to ISO 834/EN 1363/BS 476).

  • Build and calibrate heat-transfer/thermo-mechanical models.

  • Perform life-cycle/embodied-carbon assessments and techno-economic analyses; draft application and maintenance guidelines.

  • Prepare reports, journal papers and IP disclosures; liaise with industry partners; maintain laboratory safety and quality procedures.

Job Requirements:

  • Master's degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or related field

  • Knowledge of fire effects on structures and progressive collapse analysis

  • Familiarity with fire resistance safety standards

  • Good written and oral communication skills

  • Experience with precast concrete structure design and analysis
