We are looking for a Civil and Structural Engineer II to join our growing solar engineering team. The role involves delivering detailed civil and structural design solutions for both utility-scale solar farms and commercial & industrial (C&I) rooftop or ground-mounted systems. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on design experience, technical competence, and a collaborative mindset to support project execution from concept to construction.🔧 Key Responsibilities:1. Design and Documentation

Prepare structural calculations, foundation designs, and layout drawings for PV mounting structures, inverter platforms, fencing, drainage, roads, and cable trenches.
Support 3D modeling and drawing development in coordination with the drafting team.
Contribute to design reports, technical proposals, and engineering specifications in compliance with project and regulatory requirements.

2. Cross-Functional Coordination

Work closely with PV design engineers and Project Engineers to ensure integration of civil/structural elements in overall design.

Participate in design review meetings and provide technical inputs to support internal teams and external stakeholders.

3. Review and Quality Checks

Conduct self-checks and peer reviews of drawings, calculations, and documents to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Review subcontractor/shop drawings and material submissions with guidance from senior engineers.

4. Regulatory and Code Compliance

Ensure designs meet relevant codes and standards (e.g., Eurocode, MS EN, UBC, CIDB, DOSH requirements).
Prepare documentation required for local authority submissions and liaise with consultants if necessary.

5. Site and Construction Support
