🔧 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.

  • 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.
