Engineer - Civil/Mechnaical (PV)

Job Summary

The Civil / Mechanical Engineer – Solar PV bridges the gap between structural engineering and mechanical layout for utility-scale Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plants. This role is responsible for the design review, optimization, and on-site technical supervision of civil foundations, piling layout, and structural mechanical tracking systems. The engineer ensures that the plant's physical infrastructure safely withstands localized wind/environmental loads, aligns precisely with mechanical tracking kinematics, and provides a stable foundation for maximum solar energy yield.

Key Responsibilities

• Enforce mechanical torque auditing programs, ensuring all structural fasteners are marked and tightened to specification.
• Generate technical daily/weekly construction reports, verifying site completion progress against the project schedule.
• Resolve structural-to-mechanical interface clashes, such as piling conflicts with underground medium-voltage (MV) cabling paths or drainage networks.
• Review subcontractor shop drawings, calculation sheets, material submittals, and Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) for concrete foundations.
• Interface with the electrical engineering team to align mechanical tracker drive motors with electrical power supplies and control arrays.
• Review and approve structural layouts for fixed-tilt structures and single-axis trackers (e.g., Nextracker, ATI, Arctech).
• Ensure strict mechanical tolerances for tracker alignment, torque tube connections, drive-slewing systems, and damper installations.
