About Modulus Housing
Modulus Housing is a construction tech startup specializing in modular, prefabricated structures with integrated MEP systems.
Our factory-finished modules enable deployment up to 70% faster than traditional construction methods.
We operate across 21 states, delivering solutions for healthcare, education, housing, defense, and industrial infrastructure.
Backed by Tier-1 VCs, we combine modular engineering, digital design tools, and decentralized fabrication to make infrastructure rapid, reliable, and scalable.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Structural Engineer with expertise in RCC, Steel Structures, and Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB).
You will design, analyze, and optimize modular buildings—bridging concept design, detailed engineering, and execution.
This is a high-ownership role where your structural solutions will directly shape deployable, high-quality modular projects across critical sectors.
Key Responsibilities
Structural Design & Analysis
- Prepare structural designs and calculations for PEB and RCC modules, ensuring compliance with IS and AISC codes.
- Develop technical documents (design briefs, calculations, connection details) and coordinate with STAAD, Tekla Structures, and Revit teams for accurate outputs.
- Optimize structures for cost-efficiency, material usage, and modular constructability.
Modeling & Documentation
- Review and validate structural models, fabrication/shop drawings, and erection drawings.
- Guide and support steel detailers and Tekla modelers to ensure design intent is captured.
- Prepare BOQs, reinforcement schedules, bolt lists, connection layouts, and fabrication documentation.
Coordination & Execution
- Collaborate with architects, MEP, and site teams for integration and constructability.
- Address design queries through RFIs, revisions, and joint review meetings.
- Ensure all drawings, models, and calculations meet QA/QC standards and client specifications.
What We’re Looking For
Qualifications & Experience
- M.E. in Structural Engineering (Master’s degree required).
- 2–9 years hands-on experience in Steel, PEB, modular, and RCC projects (modular/prefabrication exposure preferred).
- Strong knowledge of IS and AISC codes for design and detailing.
- Proficiency in STAAD Pro, Tekla Structures, AutoCAD/Revit;
familiarity with BIM and CNC/NC workflows is a plus.
Core Competencies
- Analytical & Detail-Oriented – proven ability to resolve complex design challenges.
- Collaborative – thrives in cross-disciplinary project environments.
- Organized & Proactive – skilled in document control and revision management.
- Excellent Communicator – bridges engineering, modeling, and execution teams.
Why Join Us
- Shape the future of modular infrastructure in critical sectors.
- Work on landmark projects using cutting-edge digital design tools.
- Accelerated career growth into senior engineering, BIM, or project leadership roles.
- Be part of a fast-growing, VC-backed team delivering real social impact.
