Job description

About the role

Project Development Officer – Civil Engineer role involves evaluating terrain characteristics, slope stability, site grading feasibility, and access route suitability for onshore wind and solar layouts. You will oversee preliminary civil engineering layouts, including site earthworks, internal access roads, drainage systems, and site preparation plans for micro-siting optimization.

Key responsibilities

• Evaluate terrain characteristics, slope stability, site grading feasibility, and access route suitability (including turbine/heavy equipment transportation logistics and swept path considerations) for onshore wind and solar layouts

• Oversee preliminary civil engineering layouts, including site earthworks (cut-and-fill volume estimates), internal access roads, drainage systems, and site preparation plans for micro-siting optimization

• Manage and review third-party technical deliverables, including geotechnical investigations, hydrological/drainage studies, and preliminary civil design reports

• Assist in drafting technical scopes of work (SOW), reviewing contractor bidding documents, and evaluating third-party civil, geotechnical, and engineering consultancy proposals

• Conduct regular site visits to perform civil engineering site evaluations, monitor terrain and logistical constraints, and validate critical pre-construction and project development milestones

About you

• Graduate of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering; Must be a Licensed Civil Engineer with a valid PRC ID

• 3–5 years of active experience in civil engineering design, land development, or infrastructure projects

• At least 2–3 years of dedicated experience within the Renewable Energy industry (specifically utility‑scale solar or onshore wind projects) is highly preferred

• Strong knowledge of engineering and spatial software: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS / ArcGIS, Google Earth Pro, and basic exposure to structural or hydrological evaluation tools

• Proven experience in civil site assessments, access road routing, earthwork calculations, and interpreting geotechnical and hydrological reports for site development

• Highly willing to travel and be assigned to frequent fieldworks across various regional project sites.
