The role is a Head Office position providing structural engineering authority from early-stage design review through to commissioning and handover. The individual will act as the primary technical reference for all structural and civil scopes, with a specific mandatory focus on Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) foundation design and Solar PV mounting structure foundation and pile systems. Close coordination with geotechnical, electrical, mechanical and construction disciplines is an integral part of the role.

Structural Design Authority & Technical Governance

• Act as structural design authority for all civil and structural scopes across the wind and solar PV project portfolio, including WTG foundations, solar mounting structures, substations, access roads, drainage and auxiliary facilities.
• Define, maintain and enforce Owner structural design standards, design criteria, design philosophies and acceptance criteria for all structural and civil works.
• Review, challenge and approve EPC contractor and designer structural designs, engineering calculations, drawings, specifications and material submittals.
• Evaluate geotechnical reports, soil investigation data and ground improvement designs to verify adequacy for foundation and civil works.
• Ensure all structural designs comply with applicable international codes and standards including Eurocode, BS, IEC, ASCE and local regulatory requirements.
• Identify and resolve constructability constraints and optimisation opportunities during design review phases, proposing practical and cost-effective engineering solutions.

WTG Foundation Design – Mandatory Competence

• Lead technical review and approval of Wind Turbine Generator foundation designs, including gravity spread foundations, raft foundations, pile foundations and rock-anchor systems.
• Evaluate WTG foundation design calculations for compliance with turbine OEM load specifications, geotechnical parameters and relevant structural codes.
• Review foundation‑turbine interface documentation: anchor bolt systems, grout pockets, embedment rings, levelling plates and tower flange connections.
• Assess foundation design for fatigue loading, dynamic response, settlement tolerances, tilt limitations and long‑term durability in desert and coastal environments.
• Coordinate with geotechnical engineers on soil characterisation, bearing capacity verification, liquefaction risk and foundation optimisation.
• Review and approve foundation method statements, concrete mix designs, reinforcement schedules and quality control inspection test plans (ITPs) for WTG foundation construction.
• Support resolution of non‑conformances (NCRs) and engineering queries (RFIs) related to WTG foundation design and construction.
• Lead technical review and approval of Solar PV mounting structure foundation systems, including driven steel piles, screw piles, concrete poured‑in‑place footings and hybrid foundation solutions.
• Review pile design calculations for vertical load capacity, lateral load capacity, pull‑out resistance and settlement under PV tracker and fixed‑tilt structural loading.
• Evaluate pile installation specifications: pile driving or torque installation criteria, termination criteria, load testing requirements and pile acceptance criteria.
• Review fixed‑tilt and single‑axis tracker (SAT) mounting structure designs for structural adequacy under wind, gravity, seismic and construction loads.
• Assess mounting structure design for fatigue, wind‑induced vibration and terrain‑specific conditions including sloped terrain, rocky ground and sandy soils.
• Coordinate with solar tracker OEMs and structural designers on load specifications, design assumptions and technical interface requirements.
• Review and approve pile installation method statements, pile load test programmes and foundation QA/QC inspection plans.
