Job description

Job Description

The Civil Engineer will manage and supervise all on‑site civil works, structural installations, and infrastructure development for a GW utility‑scale solar asset. The role focuses on executing massive piling campaigns for Module Mounting Structures (MMS), building robust foundations for heavy inverter stations and pooling substations, and deploying vast drainage networks to protect against flash flooding.

Experience Requirements

• Minimum of 5–10 years of progressive civil engineering experience in heavy infrastructure, wind power, or utility‑scale solar sectors.
• 2–3 years of direct field execution experience on utility‑scale solar plants (150MW+) with large pile‑driving and structural foundation programs.
• Prior experience on mega‑projects within India is highly advantageous due to familiarity with local soil profiles and material sourcing.
• Provide civil‑work surveillance and readiness verification for solar work fronts and associated infrastructure.
• Monitors technical readiness and installation compliance; QS measures/certifies quantities and EPC executes civil works and corrective action.

Core Duties & Responsibilities

• Monitor grading, access roads, drainage, fencing, piling/foundations, cable trenches, equipment foundations, control room/yard and OHPL/MCR/PSS civil interfaces.
• Verify dimensions, levels, embedments, concrete/workmanship status, reinstatement, and work‑front handover against approved drawings and ITPs.
• Coordinate civil release of areas for MMS/tracker erection, equipment placement and electrical installation.
• Report nonconformities, incomplete works and site readiness constraints to QA/QC and construction management.
• Support measurement verification with QS through factual installed‑work evidence.
• Track civil punch‑point closure and as‑built input requirements for HOTO.

Principal Client‑Facing Outputs

• Civil field inspection/readiness records.
• Civil punch and handover status input.
• Measurement/as‑built factual support.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering from a recognized institution.
• High proficiency in interpreting complex civil layout drawings, structural rebar schedules, and topographic mapping frameworks.
• Working knowledge of surveying instrumentation (Total Station, RTK GPS data) and civil layout tools such as AutoCAD.

Key Competencies

• Strong site leadership and team coordination.
• Problem‑solving and decision‑making under site constraints.
• Effective communication with multi‑stakeholders.
• High commitment to safety and quality.
• Result‑oriented execution mindset.

Additional Information

• Willingness to work at remote project sites.
• Experience in large‑scale, multi‑location infrastructure projects preferred.

Alignment with Discipline Leads

• Electrical Lead: Execution of HV/EHV systems, testing & commissioning.
• Civil Lead: Foundations, structures, GIS buildings, and site development.
• I&C Lead: SCADA, SAS, and communication systems.
• QA/QC Lead: Inspection, testing, and quality compliance.
• HSE Lead: Safety implementation and monitoring.
