Onshore Wind
Engineer - Civil Onshore Delivery Engineering within the Central Technical Organisation (CTO) is responsible for performing the engineering aspects of all Onshore Wind and Hydrogen projects throughout GB and Ireland; commencing at prospection, projects are to be technically specified and delivered through development, securing finance, and construction ensuring Engineering Excellence prior to handover into Asset Operations. As the Civil Engineer you will provide key engineering resource within multi-discipline, project delivery engineering teams where you will manage all Civil aspects; co-ordinating and delivering Civil design and infrastructure that complies with the project requirements, whilst ensuring appropriate engineering design, quality standards and specifications are maintained.
Key Responsibilities
Provide expertise and focus on all matters related to Civil specification and design activities on assigned Onshore Wind projects, ensuring that deliverables are clearly identified and aligned within timelines and budgets.
Develop scope of works and liaise with external parties to ensure the acquisition of any pre-works information required is carried out in line with technical requirements and in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Develop suites of Civil technical specifications for inclusion within relevant tender documentation and assessments across Balance of Plant (BoP) work packages, including addressing technical queries.
Conduct technical reviews of tender submissions and manage works in line with all business requirements.
During the origination, design and construction of the Civil infrastructure you will ensure that operational learning and requirements are key considerations and lifetime costs are optimised.
Manage the Civil engineering design activities and assist in producing the infrastructure design (via use of appropriate tools i.e., AutoCAD, AutoTrack, GIS).
Provide support and Civil Engineering design input for interfaces with non-civils related infrastructure (electrical, mechanical, security etc).
Manage the Civil engineering design activities during the front-end engineering design (FEED) and detailed design stages supporting the Work Package Managers and procurement team to ensure delivery satisfies the requirements and timescales of the project.
Responsible for ensuring Civil risks, assumptions, issues and decisions are recorded and addressed appropriately, providing technical expertise and guidance to ensure risk level is ALARP.
Ensure a consistent approach to Civil delivery such that safety, environmental impact, quality, programme and value are measured and balanced to deliver optimised project outcomes.
Responsible for fully documenting all Civil design assessments, decisions and recommendations for Design Assurance Reviews at critical phases of the project (conceptual design, pre-FID design, detailed design and delivered design) as defined within the Design Management Process.
Perform technical and commercial due diligence, site visits, factory and site acceptance tests and support commissioning as required.
Support the planning and prioritisation of suitably qualified and experienced Civil resource to meet Onshore business growth projects requirements, including the management and supervision of any required internal or external third parties (consultants, sub-contractors, designers, etc) for Civil deliverables.
You will interface with the various Onshore Business Unit teams as well as the wider CTO Engineering Centre and Electricity Connections (Grid) team.
Fulfilling requirements and activities required by the Client and Principal Designer role under the Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations (GB); and/or the Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) Safety, Health & Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 (IRE).
What do you need to be great at this role?
You’ll have experience in development, design and construction of power generation projects, ideally Onshore Wind.
You’ll have an understanding of developing and delivering Civil Engineering solutions from feasibility to detailed engineering designs including access roads, supporting structures, foundations, geotechnical considerations and all other associated civil works from construction phase through to decommissioning.
You’ll have experience and understanding of Geotechnical Engineering from preliminary land assessment; scoping and reviewing ground investigations; and mitigating geotechnical risks and hazards in design.
You’ll have working knowledge of Engineering industry standards and design, manufacture, installation and testing codes of practice and regulations for Civil works.
You’ll have an understanding of developing Civil Engineering solutions while minimising environmental impact (pollution control, peat management, watercourse crossing design etc)
You’ll have as minimum a Civil Engineering degree or equivalent qualification / experience.
You will have working knowledge of Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations (GB) and/or Safety, Health & Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 (IRE).
It would be advantageous for you to have experience and/or or a qualification in Project Management.
You would possess a full clean driving license with the ability to work away from base location (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Durham, London, Dublin) as and when required.
