Python Developer – Structural Engineering Automation (Civil Background)

Python Developer with a strong Civil / Structural Engineering background

turn engineering logic into automation

• Structural / civil engineering
• Python development
• Workflow & drawing automation

as much as

Build automation for drawing generation

• Develop Python modules, services and scripts to automate structural drawing generation workflows.
• Translate engineering rules, detailing standards and customer-specific guidelines into algorithms and code.

Work closely with engineers & detailers

• Collaborate with structural engineers and detailers to understand how drawings are currently produced.
• Break down manual steps into repeatable, testable logic that can be automated.

Design robust, production-ready code

• Write clean, modular, well-documented Python code (OOP, packages, reusable components).
• Implement APIs / microservices where required (e.g. using Flask/FastAPI/Django).
• Integrate scripts with existing tools, internal platforms or customer environments.

Own quality & reliability

• Write unit tests and basic integration tests for your components.
• Participate in code reviews and continuously improve code quality, performance and reliability.

Support customer pilots & deployments

• Work with the automation team during PoCs and rollout phases.
• Travel (as needed) for workshops, requirement gathering or deployment support at customer offices.

Education

• B.Tech / B.E in

  Civil Engineering

  or
• M.Tech / M.E in

  Civil / Structural Engineering

Experience

• Minimum 2+ years of hands-on Python development

  in a professional setting (beyond academic projects).
• Practical understanding of

  structural/civil engineering concepts

  : drawings, reinforcement, detailing, structural elements, etc.

Technical Skills

• Strong in

  Python fundamentals

  : OOP, functions, packages, error handling.
• Good grasp of

  data structures & algorithms

  and writing efficient, readable code.
• Experience with

  Git / version control

  and collaborative development workflows.
• Ability to take a loosely-defined engineering rule and convert it into clear, step-by-step logic and finally into code.

Soft Skills

• Comfortable working in a fast-changing environment where solutions evolve rapidly.
• Strong communication skills – able to talk both “engineering language” and “developer language”.
• Willingness to

  travel when required

  (customer meetings, workshops, on-site integration).

You don’t need all of these, but they will make you stand out:

• Experience with

  BIM / CAD tools

  (e.g. Allplan, Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD, etc.)
• Exposure to

  Python-based automation around CAD/BIM

  (plugins, scripts, PythonParts, APIs, parametric modeling).
• Experience in

  API development

  (Flask, FastAPI, Django REST) or

  microservices

  .
• Basic exposure to

  computer vision / AI / ML

  related to drawings, PDFs, or technical documents.
• Familiarity with

  cloud platforms

  (AWS/Azure/GCP) and deploying Python services.

Impact the core of structural engineering workflows

• You’ll be working on systems that

  change how structural engineering detailing is done

  – moving from manual drafting to intelligent, automated generation.

Bridge two worlds: Civil + Code

• Most developers don’t truly understand engineering drawings. Most engineers don’t code at production level.
• This role is for the rare profile that loves

  both

  – and wants to build a career exactly at that intersection.

Best-of-the-best peer group

• You’ll work with

  senior structural engineers, detailers and an automation/AI team

  highly focused on redefining industry standards, not just “digitizing” old processes.

Hybrid flexibility + real-world exposure

• Work from home when deep focus is needed.
• Come to the office for collaboration, whiteboarding and R&D.
• Travel to see how your code is used in real projects and by real project teams.

Growth & Learning

• Learn how cutting-edge automation, AI and CAD/BIM tools come together in production.
• Take ownership of modules that directly influence project delivery quality and speed.
  

This role is perfect for you if:

• You

  think in Python

  but

  dream in concrete, steel and reinforcement

  .
• You’ve already spent time on site / in design office / with engineering drawings and now want to

  build products and automation

  instead of doing the same manual steps again and again.
• You get excited by the idea that

  your code could replace dozens of repetitive manual tasks

  and become the new standard way work is done.
