Civil and Structural Engineer II

We are looking for a Civil and Structural Engineer II to join our growing solar engineering team. The role involves delivering detailed civil and structural design solutions for both ** utility-scale solar farms** and ** commercial & industrial (C&I)** rooftop or ground-mounted systems. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on design experience, technical competence, and a collaborative mindset to support project execution from concept to construction.

🔧 Key Responsibilities:

1. Design and Documentation

• Prepare structural calculations, foundation designs, and layout drawings for PV mounting structures, inverter platforms, fencing, drainage, roads, and cable trenches.
• Support 3D modeling and drawing development in coordination with the drafting team.
• Contribute to design reports, technical proposals, and engineering specifications in compliance with project and regulatory requirements.

2. Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with PV design engineers and Project Engineers to ensure integration of civil/structural elements in overall design.

• Participate in design review meetings and provide technical inputs to support internal teams and external stakeholders.

3. Review and Quality Checks

• Conduct self-checks and peer reviews of drawings, calculations, and documents to ensure accuracy and compliance.

• Review subcontractor/shop drawings and material submissions with guidance from senior engineers.

4. Regulatory and Code Compliance

• Ensure designs meet relevant codes and standards (e.g., Eurocode, MS EN, UBC, CIDB, DOSH requirements).
• Prepare documentation required for local authority submissions and liaise with consultants if necessary.

5. Site and Construction Support

• Provide support during construction phases, including responding to RFIs, conducting site visits, and verifying compliance with civil/structural design intent.

Requirements

• Education:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
  • (Optional but advantageous: Registered with BEM / working towards IR status.)

• Experience:

  • 3–5 years of civil/structural engineering experience, preferably in ** solar PV** or ** renewable energy** projects.
  • Experience in both rooftop and ground-mounted systems is a plus.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficient in **STAAD.Pro **, ** AutoCAD , and ** Microsoft Excel for engineering calculations and documentation.
  • Familiar with Civil 3D, SketchUp, or drainage/grading design tools is an added advantage.

• Knowledge Areas:

  • Understanding of wind load, seismic, and soil-structure interaction relevant to PV structures.
  • Basic knowledge of geotechnical engineering and soil report interpretation.
  • Familiarity with pile design, structural steel, and foundation detailing.

• Soft Skills:

  • Good communication and coordination skills.
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
  • Willingness to learn, adapt, and contribute to team improvement initiatives.
