Your mission: Own the technical and civil deliverables of tenders from foundation design to risk mitigation, ensuring every submission is compliant, innovative, and commercially sharp . Key Responsibilities Decode the Tender: Lead technical reviews of RFQs, contracts, and drawings, ensuring scope, risks, and client requirements are crystal clear. Engineer the Win: Develop optimised methodologies for substations (civil, structural, and HV), ensuring constructability, safety, and cost‑efficiency. Crunch the Details: Collaborate with estimators to validate BoQs, labour forecasts, and plant requirements. Your technical input drives pricing accuracy. Sell the Solution: Craft compelling technical narratives for non‑priced attributes, showcasing innovation (e.g., modular designs, geotechnical solutions). Project Execution Prep Design Oversight: Review civil engineering designs for transmission foundations, towers, and substation structures, ensuring compliance with standards and geotechnical requirements. Quality & Safety: Monitor subcontractor performance, ensuring workmanship aligns with specs and HS&E requirements are rigorously implemented. Program Coordination: Communicate timelines to subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams to maintain commitment and avoid delays. Cost Control: Assist in budget management, ensuring civil works meet performance targets and mitigate risks. Cross-Functional Collaboration Lead Teams: Motivate and mentor site personnel, fostering a culture of safety and excellence. Stakeholder Engagement: Address client queries professionally and liaise with design, procurement, and QA teams to align deliverables. Documentation: Maintain accurate project records (drawings, reports, as‑builts) and assist in scheduling/resource planning. About You You're a substation and civil engineering pro with a track record in bids or hands‑on project delivery. Your toolkit includes: Qualifications: Bachelors in Civil Engineering (or related field). Experience: 3+ years in substation civil works (foundations, structures) or transmission projects. Bid/tender exposure is a plus. Technical Skills: Geotechnical interpretation and foundation design. Proficiency in civil design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D) and familiarity with PLS-CADD or ETAP. Working knowledge of AS/NZS 3000, AS 2067, IEC 62271 . Commercial Acumen: Ability to align designs with budget realities and assess subcontractor quotes. Leadership: Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with stakeholders and mentor teams.
