Built on more than a century of innovation and decades of substation expertise, Linxon blends AtkinsRéalis' project management strength with Hitachi Energy's technological leadership. Together, we deliver high-performing EPC solutions that strengthen the power grid.

We support community growth and industrial development by providing end-to-end engineering, procurement, management, and construction services for complex AC substation and electrification projects across five core markets.

We believe in the value of every client's investment and take pride in tackling challenging, high-risk projects. With deep expertise and continuous development, our teams operate with the precision, resilience, and mission-focus needed to deliver crucial infrastructure—often described as the "special forces" of our industry.

As the Subject Matter Expert, Civil and Structural Engineering, you will serve as a cornerstone of the Linxon Engineering Team—shaping how we design and deliver critical infrastructure that powers communities, enables renewable integration, and strengthens the energy grid of the future. You will apply your deep technical expertise to execute civil and structural engineering for AIS and GIS substations (11kV–550kV), battery energy storage systems, and renewable energy facilities, ensuring each project is built on a foundation of precision, innovation, and engineering excellence.

In this highly influential individual-contributor role, you will collaborate closely with Project Lead Engineers, BIM Engineers, and Electro-mechanical Engineers, serving as the technical authority who elevates designs, resolves challenges, and drives best-in-class engineering solutions. Your contributions will directly impact project performance, constructability, safety, and efficiency—positioning Linxon as a leader in delivering complex, high-value infrastructure across the Americas.

• Introduce innovative, cost-saving design improvements that enhance project value.
• Provide key design inputs—layouts, quantities, grading, drainage, foundations, and steel structures—to strengthen overall project quality.
• Ensure all designs meet applicable codes and standards to reduce compliance risk.
• Conduct technical and constructability reviews that minimize rework and improve efficiency.
• Provide accurate engineering estimates and forecasts to support project planning.
• Lead and participate in design and hazard reviews to resolve issues early.
• Support construction teams by addressing field engineering challenges quickly.
• Coordinate effectively with line managers, engineers, and site teams to maintain alignment and progress.
• Work with customers, technical assurance, and subcontractors to secure approvals and ensure technical consistency.

• You have experience in civil and structural design for high-voltage substations or transmission lines; experience with industrial facilities or power plants is a plus.
• You understand geotechnical investigations, earthworks, grading, and drainage and how they influence project design.
• You are proficient in structural analysis tools such as STAAD and/or SAP
  2000.
• You are skilled in CAD platforms like AutoCAD and/or Micro Station, and ideally Revit as well.
• You bring (or are working toward) a Professional Engineering certification, which is considered an advantage.
• You hold a bachelor's degree in civil engineering with at least five years of experience, or a master's degree with at least three years of experience.
