About the role
The FACTS Solution Line Electromechanical team develops and adapts standard civil, structural, construction, and BIM engineering solutions for FACTS technologies such as STATCOM and SVC. This lead role coordinates civil and BIM deliverables across tenders and projects, including reference layouts, foundation concepts, technical specifications, quantities, and contractor inputs. It works with multidisciplinary teams and external partners to ensure civil solutions are technically compliant, cost-conscious, constructable, and practical to execute.
What you will do
- Lead civil, structural, construction, and BIM engineering activities for assigned FACTS projects and tenders, including design criteria, reference layouts, foundation concepts, structural requirements, BIM models, technical specifications, quantities, and contractor inputs.
- Coordinate engineering deliverables, technical reviews, interfaces, and design inputs across layout, mechanical, electrical, MV equipment, valve, cooling, regional teams, consultants, and contractors.
- Support tenders and project execution with preliminary layouts, civil assumptions, technical clarifications, quantities, and identification of cost, schedule, constructability, and execution risks.
- Apply and help develop FACTS reference solutions, standard designs, BIM content, and engineering guidelines, while capturing lessons learned and supporting continuous improvement.
- Review and optimize civil and structural solutions for technical quality, constructability, cost awareness, and execution practicality, including foundations, steelwork, site layout, buildings, cable routes, materials, and construction methods.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
