What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will lead civil engineering activities across wind projects and provide technical direction to internal teams, consultants, contractors, and suppliers, including:

• Lead geological, topographical, hydrological, and geotechnical due diligence and define appropriate site investigation and laboratory testing programmes
• Assess civil risks during development, including wind turbine foundations, roads and pavements, drainage, buildings, slopes, retaining structures, and site-specific constructability constraints
• Manage civil quantities and bills of quantities, and contribute technical specifications and civil requirements to project base cases and business cases
• Support procurement by preparing and evaluating civil RFP documentation, clarifying supplier responses, and completing technical due diligence on turbine foundation and substructure solutions
• Coordinate and review detailed civil engineering designs, ensuring that risks and requirements identified during development and structuring are incorporated into construction documentation
• Support project execution through design assurance, quality control, site input, pull-out test supervision, design change reviews, and resolution of civil engineering matters
• Work across engineering, development, supply chain, construction, operations, contractors, technical advisors, and other stakeholders to deliver safe, compliant, and buildable solutions
• Manage and mentor civil engineering supervisors and junior engineers, support professional registration, and lead technical knowledge-sharing within the civil team

Your expertise will help turn complex ground conditions and civil design requirements into resilient, cost-effective wind energy infrastructure, supporting successful project delivery and reliable long-term asset performance.

What you’ll gain

• Professional growth through ownership of complex civil engineering decisions across the full wind project lifecycle
• International exposure through collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, suppliers, contractors, and advisors across Scatec’s markets
• Broader commercial understanding through involvement in due diligence, procurement, contracts, cost drivers, and project risk management
• The opportunity to strengthen your leadership capability by mentoring engineers and shaping civil engineering standards and ways of working
• Hands-on involvement in utility-scale wind projects from site investigation and development through detailed design, construction, handover, and operations
• Exposure to a wide range of disciplines, including geotechnical, hydrological, structural, roads, pavement, drainage, foundation, and earthworks engineering

What you’ll bring

Experience and qualifications

• Master’s degree in Civil Engineering and professional engineering registration, or an equivalent Chartered Engineer registration
• 8+ years’ civil engineering experience, including at least 3 years’ experience in solar and wind energy
• Demonstrated design management experience across complex civil infrastructure, including foundations, drainage, roads, pavements, structures, and buildings
• Strong capability in at least three relevant disciplines, such as geotechnical, hydrological, structural, roads, or pavement engineering
• Experience with civil design and analysis tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, PLAXIS, Rocscience, Prokon, GIS, or equivalent software
• Fluent written and spoken English and French, a valid driver’s licence, and the ability to travel internationally and work extended hours when projects require it

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will:

• Supervise HV and transmission-line construction activities and engage daily with contractors and sub-suppliers on site.
• Monitor physical progress each day and report deviations relating to quality, schedule, cost, and HSSE.
• Work with the planning team to evaluate completion forecasts and require action or recovery plans from contractors when needed.
• Oversee electrical works including cables, MV transformers, communication systems, lighting, CCTV, earthing systems, connection boxes, and commissioning activities.
• Coordinate with Civil and Mechanical Supervisors on the HV and transmission-line scope, and align site supervision activities.
• Coordinate Mechanical Completion and commissioning interfaces between disciplines, contractors, and key equipment suppliers.
• Review construction documentation, including method statements, and obtain engineering review or approval where required.
• Lead HV and transmission-line pre-construction meetings, manage technical queries, and ensure construction uses the latest approved drawings, manuals, and specifications.
• Your work will support safe, high-quality delivery and successful commissioning at Thakadu.

What you’ll gain

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure, and meaningful contribution from day one.
• Hands-on experience in a fast-moving, site-based renewable-energy construction environment.
• The opportunity to shape the safe and effective delivery of HV, transmission-line, and associated electrical works on the Thakadu project.
• Exposure to multidisciplinary site teams, contractors, suppliers, engineering specialists, and planning professionals.

What you’ll bring
