Dharmaj Lehjatwala (MEng., EIT)

Assistant Architect @ GUJARAT PCPIR SERVICES LIMITED

About

I am a Civil Engineering (MEng.) graduate from the University of Calgary with registration as an Engineer-in-Training (APEGA) and past experience in building construction, structural analysis, sustainable design, and project coordination across residential and institutional projects. I have worked on high-rise building construction projects, gaining site-level exposure from foundation construction through multiple storeys, where I supported quality control, drawing compliance, quantity verification, and coordination with contractors and consultants. In my role as an Assistant Architect within a town planning and regulations department, I coordinated technical drawings, specifications, and statutory requirements, supporting multi-stakeholder project approvals across large planning areas. Technically, I have experience with structural analysis using STAAD Pro, manual load calculations, and an understanding of soil mechanics, settlement behavior, and foundation performance. I am proficient in AutoCAD (Autodesk Certified), Google SketchUp, and MS Excel, and have supported the preparation and review of construction drawings, technical documentation, and reports. I bring a strong interest in structural engineering, building systems, and sustainable infrastructure, with academic and project experience integrating sustainability principles, constructability, and lifecycle considerations into engineering solutions. Known for my attention to detail, analytical thinking, and continuous learning mindset, I am actively seeking entry-level civil/structural engineering roles where I can contribute to safe, efficient, and sustainable built environments. 📍 Key areas of interest: Structural Engineering | Building Systems | Construction Engineering | Sustainable Design | QA/QC | Project Coordination | Civil 3D 📌 Tools: AutoCAD | STAAD Pro | Bluebeam Revu | Google SketchUp | MS Excel 📈 Availability: Open to entry-level / EIT opportunities
