• Leading continuous improvement of design standards, specifications, and design processes.
• Creating civil site plans identifying relevant approvals necessary.
• Support the civil design of solar projects, including site layout, demolition, grading and stormwater management calculations, foundation design, and structural considerations.
• Preparation of the detailed bill of quantities for structures based on drawings.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan and design infrastructure components such as access roads, fencing, laydowns and drainage systems to support solar projects.
• Conduct preliminary site evaluations including desktop studies, topography, and wetlands.
• Ensure all designs adhere to relevant codes, standards, and regulations, including ASCE 7, IBC, ACI, AISC, and local building codes.
• Design gravity and pressure networks, including stormwater, sewer systems, adhering to industry regulations.
• Provide input on site grading, drainage, and layout optimization to ensure efficient use of space and resources.
• Maintain detailed records of project plans, engineering calculations, construction progress, and as-built documentation.
• Pavement design of the roadways with alignment, profile, assembly, corridors and intersections.
• Provide technical support during the construction phase, addressing any civil and structural challenges or issues that arise.
• Foundation design for IDT, LT & HT panels, ICR and other components in solar plant.
• Design and oversee the construction of foundations for solar panels, tracker piles, inverter and substation related infrastructure, ensuring stability and durability in various soil and climate conditions.
• Innovate and implement solutions to optimize the design and construction process, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
• Conduct site assessments and feasibility studies to evaluate the suitability of locations for solar installations.
• Provide a range of drawing production work using AutoCAD and Civil3D for site layouts, demolition, grading, stormwater management (SWPPP), road profiles and utility plans.
• Conduct inspections and site visits as required to verify compliance with design specifications and quality standards.
• Design pile foundations, module mounting steel structures, main control room foundation.
