français term

ingénieur en stabilité

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Construction / génie civil specific to Belgium
This term appears in a document about project methodology, included in a tender response package. It gives an overview of the roles of the members of a project team on a building renovation project in Belgium. It refers to Ingénieur en Stabilité (as opposed to Ingénieur en Techniques Spéciales). It lists, for example:
- coordination entre les architectes et les ingénieurs en stabilité et en techniques spéciales
- réunions avec les architectes et les ingénieurs en stabilité pour échanger sur...

Is it as simple as "Stability Engineer" or would it be incorrect to translate this directly?

If it means structural engineer (which I suspect it does), is it a synonym of "ingénieur (en) structure"?

Some references from Wikipedia

En France et en Suisse notamment, le génie civil est une expression désignant les domaines de la construction en général :
• les aspects liés à la stabilité des constructions : l'ouvrage sur le sol où il est implanté doit résister durant sa construction et tout au long de sa vie aux diverses sollicitations (le poids propre de l'ouvrage, les charges d'exploitations, les charges climatiques, les séismes, etc.);
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Génie_civil

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.[
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_engineering#Construction...

L'ingénierie des structures1 est un domaine de l'ingénierie et plus particulièrement du génie civil, traitant de la stabilité des constructions (conception et de l'analyse des structures).
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingénierie_des_structures

Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and muscles' that create the form and shape of man made structures. Structural engineers need to understand and calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures for buildings[1] and nonbuilding structures.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

Structural engineers analyse, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems to achieve design goals and ensure the safety and comfort of users or occupants. Their work takes account mainly of safety, technical, economic and environmental concerns, but they may also consider aesthetic and social factors.
:
Structural engineers ensure that buildings and bridges are built to be strong enough and stable enough to resist all appropriate structural loads (e.g., gravity, wind, snow, rain, seismic (earthquake), earth pressure, temperature, and traffic) in order to prevent or reduce loss of life or injury.
