Planning, Design and Engineering:

  • Manage external parties and consultants to prepare project design basis, conceptual and preliminary plans, and deliver detailed design and engineering deliverables.

  • Identify optimal site layout, structural configurations, roads and access, and space planning to ensure efficiency and constructability.

  • Conduct high level seismic and wind load evaluations to determine the best design approach.

  • Evaluate structural loads, settlement risks, and thermal expansion effects on plant infrastructure.

  • Develop high-level structural feasibility assessment and foundation design for thermal power generator systems, solar PV arrays, and battery storage systems.

Material & Technology Selection:

  • Define preliminary material specifications (concrete, steel, composites) suited for power plant conditions.

  • Assess innovative construction techniques to improve cost-efficiency and durability.

Regulatory & Compliance Review:

  • Ensure civil designs align with standards, seismic regulations, and international power plant standards (ASCE, Eurocodes, UBC, etc.).

  • Identify potential permitting and regulatory constraints related to site development.

Interdisciplinary Coordination & Design Documentation:

  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and other project discipline teams to integrate civil structures with power systems.

  • Provide input on CAPEX estimates, construction feasibility, and long-term operational impacts.

  • Prepare reports, drawings, and technical documentation to guide the next project phases.

Job requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's or master's in civil engineering, Structural Engineering, or Geotechnical Engineering.

  • Experience: 7+ years in power plants, industrial facilities, or energy infrastructure.

  • Technical Skills:

    • Familiar with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, , and geotechnical analysis, hydrology and stormwater manage design tools.

    • Strong understanding of structural load calculations, geotechnical assessments, and power plant infrastructure planning.

    • Familiarity with codes & standards applicable to power generation projects.

  • Language:

    • English proficiency is required with the ability to hold a conversation and understand technical discussions..

    • Japanese proficiency is an advantage.

Preferred Attributes:

  • Experience in gas power generation projects or similar large-scale projects: oil & gas, petrochemicals.

  • Experience in renewable energy projects: solar, wind, energy storage systems.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in early-stage engineering design.

  • Experience in detailed design/engineering and installation of projects for power generation, renewable energy, or industrial plants.

  • Ability to assess technical risks and recommend cost-effective design solutions.
