About Arun Kishore

A Structural Engineer who builds more than just structures—I build efficiency, innovation, and value. By integrating advanced automation and a deep understanding of Canadian and US codes, I deliver transformative engineering solutions that have saved millions in project costs and thousands of man-hours. My initiatives have not only enhanced project accuracy but have also driven significant business results, including: 1. Saving over at Uzun+Case by automating the design and scheduling of concrete components. Reducing the design budget by over 30% on the Woodfibre LNG project by automating the creation of foundation models from 3rd party documents. Leading a team to rehabilitate over 70 flood-damaged homes in the Northwest Territories in under four months, navigating extreme logistical challenges to restore community resilience. Core Competencies: 1. Structural Design & Analysis: Concrete, steel, timber, and masonry design for commercial, industrial (including LNG & mining), and residential structures. Proficient in ETABS, RAM, SAFE, and Dlubal RFEM. Automation & Programming: Expert in developing custom Python tools to automate structural analysis, data processing, and workflow management, saving significant time and cost. Project Leadership & Coordination: Experienced in leading interdisciplinary teams, managing client relationships, and providing construction administration for complex, multi-million dollar projects like the Nicomekl Sea Dam Replacement and the Powell River WWTP. Codes & Standards: In-depth knowledge of BCBC, CSA, ACI, AISC, ASCE, and IBC. As an award-winning innovator and a dedicated leader (Chair of the Python Technical Advisory Council at Associated Engineering), I am eager to connect with forward-thinking organizations to tackle new challenges in structural engineering.
