Civil Site Engineer – Solar Projects

About The Opportunity

• Supervise and coordinate day-to-day civil construction activities for solar PV projects: earthworks, access roads, drainage, cable trenches, piling and foundation works.
• Execute site layout and surveying using Total Station/GPS: ensure accurate alignment of module tables, trackers, piling positions and equipment platforms.
• Validate construction quality through onsite testing and inspections (concrete slump, compaction tests), enforce specification compliance and manage third-party testing.
• Prepare and maintain as-built drawings, mark-ups and measurement sheets; review shop drawings and respond to RFIs with the design/PMC team.
• Track quantities, progress and productivity—maintain daily reports, material checklists and support planning for manpower and equipment allocation.
• Enforce HSE protocols onsite, manage subcontractor performance, conduct inspections and implement corrective actions to meet schedule and cost targets.
