STRUCTURAL DESIGNER

Noel Guades brings more than 20 years of structural engineering experience to Design Works Engineering, where he works as a Structural Designer contributing analysis and design across steel, reinforced concrete, wood, and masonry projects in Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia. His career is among the most internationally varied on the structural team, spanning work in the Philippines, the United States, and Canada and touching sectors from large-scale commercial and hospitality infrastructure to mid-rise and high-rise residential.

After graduating Magna Cum Laude in Civil Engineering from the University of San Jose-Recoletos and completing advanced graduate studies in structural engineering at the University of San Carlos, Noel launched his career with a structural engineer traineeship at Engineering System Solutions in Las Vegas, Nevada. That experience gave him firsthand grounding in US code-based design across wood light frame, masonry, steel, and reinforced concrete systems, and it set the direction for a career that would consistently cross jurisdictions and code families. He returned to the Philippines as a practicing structural engineer, eventually serving as Principal Structural Engineer at Cebu Structural Design Solutions from 2006 to 2014, leading structural design and consultancy for clients in Nevada, Texas, California, Arizona, and Alberta.

His international project portfolio reflects that depth. He has contributed to Marriott Courtyard and Holiday Inn hotel projects in Texas, JP Morgan Chase bank branches and commercial developments in Nevada, industrial buildings in Las Vegas, and commercial and high-rise residential work in Ontario and Alberta. At Design Works, where he has contributed since 2014, his project list includes Pine Creek Apartments in Edmonton, the Richmond Apartments high-rise in Ottawa, the Kingston Condominium in Toronto, and the Eglinton Condominium in York, Ontario.

Beyond his project work, Noel is actively engaged in the structural engineering community. He holds memberships in the Institution of Specialist Structural Engineers of the Philippines, the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers, and the ASEAN Engineer Register, and has presented at technical conferences on structural analysis and design tools.
