Junior Blast Design Engineer

Miyamoto International (“Miyamoto”) is in business to make the world safer. Miyamoto is a global multi-hazard engineering and disaster risk management firm that provides resiliency expertise that sustains industries and safeguards communities across the globe.We are seeking qualified applicants for a global roster for potential professional services to be considered to deliver work globally for leading international organizations. This solicitation is to be included in a roster, not for selection of a position. In the future, Miyamoto may be contacted as a supplier to provide professional services worldwide and would utilize this roster in fulfilling specific scope needs. Worldwide travel availability and willingness is critical to the roster.NOTE: In applying for inclusion in this roster and if selected for additional review, follow up information, including proof of credentials, will need to be supplied rapidly. Please only apply for roster consideration if you are immediately available to respond to additional data calls and can be responsive to any immediate follow-up requests.Position SummarySuccess in this position requires strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities, as well as adherence to client/ requirements and the delivery of timely, high-quality operational results and reports.Key ResponsibilitiesQualifications and Experience* Education: University degree in a relevant discipline. * Experience: Minimum 1 year of relevant post-graduation experience. Completion of internship/work placement program. Typically working towards professional registration. Able to perform relevant professional tasks under supervision. * Knowledge: Provide critical support to an expert team for the gathering of information and technical analysis. General areas include the following: * Blast vulnerability assessment (including review the designated premises against assessed risk and threat in-country, and specifically the risk and required mitigation measures against explosive devices, placed or person or vehicle born). * For each of the facilities assigned, a full report and recommendations should be prepared. This will include data collection, site investigation, familiarization of conceptual design requirements against established threat assessment, evaluation of alternatives or additional mitigation measures recommended, and selection of optimum solution within the given physical environment as well as risk and threat diagnosis, formulation of engineering solution to establish parameter specifications, identify any recommended additional investigations (i.e. materials testing, etc.) and provide a closeout report and prepare a presentation that shall contain findings, recommendations, schematic layouts, sketches, conceptual design criteria with appropriate exhibits to articulate the consideration involved including applicable requirements of governmental authorities. * Level of protection: This includes the target level of protection for the buildings/ facilities is to withstand the blast effects of an explosive device detonated external to the building – Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED), or within the proposed primary access area - Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PBIED). To the extent possible mitigate against structural failure and secondary effects from explosions and thereby reduce or eliminate serious and fatal injuries. * Blast Effect Analysis: Determine air-blast parameters and building performance in response to the identified threats for overall compound structural assets and perimeter wall plus building face or individual building elements, as applicable. * Develop Mitigation Measures/Recommendations.NOTE: Experience with seismic analysis also highly desired for this role. This includes the ability to assess the structural performance of the existing buildings and assess their likely structural response and behavior to the magnitude of the seismic event to which the specific location is susceptible. As part of this assessment, the specialist will also provide clear recommendations to the client regarding the expected performance of the surveyed facilities in their current state in the event of a major earthquake. Where deficiencies are identified and can be mitigated, the scope of rehabilitation work to be undertaken and details of the likely cost to complete the works shall be provided.* Languages: Fluency in English (oral and written) is mandatory. * Demonstrated ability to contribute effectively to diverse and cross-sectoral teams, including across remote and multi-cultural environments. Ability and willingness for rapid, worldwide deployment is critical for roster consideration.HOW TO APPLYPlease submit your CV and cover letter to [email protected] by Friday, March 6, 2026.
