Sandeep Panesar

Graduate Structural Engineer with 9 months of industry experience at Wood PLC and an MEng in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Imperial College London.

I have practical experience in both onshore and offshore structural engineering, with a focus on the design and analysis of offshore jacket structures using SACS Bentley. This includes the application of wind, wave, and current loads, and the evaluation of structural performance through static and dynamic analysis.

At Wood PLC, I contributed to a range of multidisciplinary projects. I used SACS Bentley to design offshore jacket structures, applying environmental loads and determining reactions on structural elements under offshore wind conditions. I performed structural analysis of a sewage tank support structure using STAAD.Pro, including Euler buckling checks for dynamically loaded staircase elements, and reporting deflections, reactions, and safety margins across varied loading scenarios. I also supported the design of walls, staircases, beams, and columns for an offshore power station project, contributing to detailed engineering reports that incorporated code compliance checks and safety factors in line with EUROCODE and API standards.

I gained hands-on experience with ANSYS, conducting stress and strain analysis on steel members of topside structures, including shell and plate elements. I also supported design verification using Navisworks and Excel to ensure quality and coordination across teams.

My academic background includes structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, fluid dynamics, and environmental systems, supported by programming proficiency in MATLAB and Python. I have been involved in structural assessments, field investigations, and the preparation of clear, technically sound design documentation.

A member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, I am actively working toward chartership and bring a detail-oriented, collaborative, and analytical approach to delivering robust engineering solutions across all phases of project development.
