JOB DESCRIPTION:
Provide top-quality and accurate civil, structural and geotechnical design engineering expertise that meets INTEC and our clients’ requirements by delivering detailed designs for large‑scale EPC projects by undertaking the following:
Key tasks:
- Prepare and deliver detailed designs for foundations, buildings, structural supports, and civil works.
- Carry out geotechnical assessments and integrate soil–structure interaction into foundation design.
- Provide structural design for project components such as equipment supports, tracker foundations, and utility buildings.
- Design inverter, combiner box, weather station, CCTV, lighting pole, and PCU support structures and foundations.
- Develop tracker foundation reports, piling coordinate lists, and earthwork‑related foundation assessments.
- Prepare comprehensive foundation reports, concrete design and calculation reports, and soil–structure interaction analyses.
- Deliver detailed architectural, structural, and services design for project buildings (O&M, warehouses, amenities).
- Coordinate design of plumbing, fire safety, and HVAC systems for facilities as required.
- Prepare detailed drawings, specifications, and design reports for building structures and services.
- Conduct geotechnical analysis to inform design of shallow and deep foundations, piles, retaining structures, and building substructures.
- Review and interpret geotechnical investigation reports and integrate findings into foundation and earthworks design.
- Provide geotechnical inputs for tracker foundations, civil platforms, and substation/warehouse building foundations.
- Develop preliminary earthworks design, cut/fill analysis, and grading reports to support structural and foundation design.
- Integrate foundation layouts with topography, drainage, and substation/array platforms.
- Work closely with in‑house EPC teams (civil, geomatics, electrical, structural) to integrate foundation and structural designs with project requirements.
- Provide technical support during feasibility, tender, detailed design, and IFC stages of EPC projects.
- Liaise with external consultants and review subcontractor design deliverables where required.
- Maintain revision control and documentation standards in alignment with EPC project requirements.
Financial management and reporting

- Provide regular reporting to Engineering Manager AU/NZ on status of all design work.
- Contribute to feasibility and option analysis in the early stages to support business case development and tender responses.
- Continuously review and optimize foundation and structural design methodologies to improve cost efficiency, constructability, and alignment with project execution strategies.
- Contribute to the development of standardized design procedures, calculation templates, and reporting formats to enhance consistency and efficiency across EPC projects.
- Strong focus on identifying and suggesting ways to improve practices and processes that are hampering the smooth operation of the day‑to‑day running of the project.
- Support the development of innovative strategies to ensure operational efficiencies, processes and practices.
- Proactively seek opportunities to save unnecessary costs to the project (without compromising quality).
- Contribute to the project review process, ensuring problems identified and possible solutions developed and feedback to operations team.
- Identify gaps or inefficiencies in the handover process between design, procurement, and construction teams, and suggest improvements.
- Provide technical insights to improve constructability and reduce rework during construction.
Teamwork and Support
- Demonstrate collaborative and inclusive personal leadership, empowering others to perform by providing advice, support and assistance as needed.
- Role model expected behaviours and lead by example, proactively championing our values, mission and company/business unit initiatives.
