Brilliant Planet has an exciting opening for an experienced Civil Infrastructure Engineer to support the infrastructure design for developing a 30-hectare demonstration site initially followed by a series of 1,000-hectare commercial sites (£100m+ ea.). The ideal candidate would have experience in the design of large scale infrastructure projects, from concept through to detailed design, leading to construction and commissioning.

The successful candidate will be expected to work with limited supervision, undertaking engineering analysis and calculations to prepare technical design information, reports and specifications to deliver engineering solutions. You would have demonstrable industry experience delivering designs, with direct emphasis on 3D modelling and information management for civil engineering or other related infrastructure disciplines.

You will be part of the Engineering and Design team, reporting to the Chief Engineer and will work closely with all other divisions & departments, in particular the Digital Systems and Project Management Office. The role offers the successful applicant the opportunity to progress their career working as part of a team of innovative engineers and specialists.

Responsibilities:

• Preparation of civil and structural engineering analysis, calculations, reports, schedules and specifications for sitewide infrastructure, covering hydraulic structures, such as water supply and discharge canals, pipelines, pump chambers, sumps and shallow foundations, with associated site layouts, earthworks and slope stability
• Interfacing and coordinating with other engineers and technicians to translate outline engineering proposals into detailed models and designs in accordance with relevant design Codes and Standards
• Ensuring design outputs are correctly transferred to 3D project model and 2D drawing outputs as general arrangement drawings, plans, profiles, sections and relevant details
• Scoping of all necessary site investigation works to assist design and construction
• Driving efficient and sustainable designs to drive down embedded and operational carbon as well as CAPEX and OPEX whilst ensuring Health and Safety are of paramount importance for all stages of asset lifecycle
