Civil Engineer (all genders)

As a Civil Engineer (all genders) you will play a key role in the design, coordination, and delivery of civil engineering works for utility‑scale solar, wind, and battery energy storage (BESS) projects. In this role you will act as a senior individual contributor, taking ownership of complex topics and supporting the coordination of civil engineering activities across projects. Working closely with internal teams, consultants, and contractors, you will ensure high‑quality, safe, and cost‑efficient engineering solutions while contributing to continuous improvement and innovation within the organization.

What You Will Do

• Coordinate and manage civil engineering activities for utility‑scale renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, and BESS.
• Prepare civil engineering designs and documentation, including earthworks, access roads, and platform layouts.
• Design and assess drainage systems, stormwater management solutions, erosion control measures, and basic flood risk.
• Review geotechnical and site investigation data, identifying civil risks and defining mitigation measures.
• Assess foundation concepts, including pile foundations, shallow foundations, and deep foundations.
• Prepare technical specifications, scopes of work, and Bills of Quantities (BoQs).
• Review drawings and contractor submissions to ensure constructability, compliance, cost efficiency, and risk mitigation.
• Act as a key point of contact for civil engineering topics, coordinating with internal stakeholders, external consultants, and contractors across design and construction phases.
• Provide guidance and support to less experienced team members when needed, contributing to knowledge sharing within the team.
• Support construction activities by reviewing method statements and assisting in resolving technical issues on site.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of internal engineering standards, tools, and templates.
• Support site feasibility studies, due diligence processes, value engineering, and cost optimization initiatives.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in civil engineering, particularly in earthworks, grading, drainage, roads, or similar, ideally within utility‑scale renewable energy or infrastructure projects.
• Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently on complex topics.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
• Solid understanding of geotechnical, hydrological, and civil design principles and standards.
• Strong technical writing, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
• Fluent in English; additional languages such as German, Spanish, French, or Italian are a plus.
• Detail‑oriented with sound practical engineering judgement and a strong interest in renewable energy projects.
• Experience with GIS and hydrodynamic modelling tools (e.g. HEC‑RAS) is considered an advantage.

What’s in it for you?

• Being part of a highly motivated, multicultural team that drives forward the energy transition.
• Innovative and fast‑changing market and working environment.
• Mobile working.
• Flexible working hours.
• Modern office atmosphere.
• Company restaurant / Barista bar.
