## Description

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.

-   **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.
