Job description

Civils Design Engineer

Department: Development

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: UK - London

Reporting To: Jack Hoogstraten

Compensation: £38,000 - £45,000 / year

Description

As a design engineer at Field, you will be involved in the design of our battery sites from the origination stage, through development and planning, and finally into construction. In origination, you will be involved with the initial identification of sites and creating the concept design that will enable our origination and legal team to negotiate a suitable plot of land. The project then moves into the development stage where a lot of design work is done to ensure the project receives planning consent and is built with minimal variations. In this stage, the design engineer takes ownership of the site design and collaborates with our internal experts in planning and construction as well as external consultants to create the battery site that we will build. You will create 2D site plans, equipment drawings, and complete 3D modelling using both Civil 3D and REVIT, as well as contribute to the design health and safety review with all key stakeholders in the project. Once a project has received planning consent, you will work with our construction project managers to ensure the project is built in accordance with our design by reviewing and advising on the detailed design drawings from the contractor.

At Field, you will gain exposure to the latest battery technology, work in a team of experts in the UK and Europe, and contribute to the growth of the company as we work towards global climate goals. You will operate in a fast-paced environment and have full autonomy over the projects you work on. The design team is growing, and you will collaborate with other members of the team, sharing your knowledge and helping to build the design processes we will use in the UK and Europe.

Key Responsibilities

This is a broad and varied role with the opportunity to have a significant impact. Key responsibilities include:

1. Designing several projects at different stages of development while working with the internal team and consultants, using your engineering knowledge to design a site that meets all requirements.
2. Contributing to health and safety reviews/evaluations.
3. Completing a range of 2D drawings and plans, including:

• Initial concept designs and detailed site plans;
• Planning application drawings;
• Land plans;
• Pre-construction information (e.g., combined utilities plan).

Producing 3D site design models using both Civil 3D to calculate site levels and earthwork requirements and REVIT for visualizations.

Reviewing external designs and drawings to ensure all work meets our requirements and standards.

Reviewing tender documents and data sheets to continually develop in-house design knowledge and processes, including technical information, construction methods, and safety requirements.

Supporting the implementation of Field’s internal data management system and ensuring continued process compliance.
