Required Qualifications and Experience:-

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
• Relevant professional certification (e.g., licensed engineer or equivalent).
• 2-8 years of experience in civil engineering, preferably in renewable energy projects (solar, wind).
• Familiarity with construction management, project scheduling, and budgeting.
• Proficient in civil design and construction software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D).
• Strong knowledge of construction materials, methods, and techniques.
• Understanding of health, safety, and environmental standards in construction.

Desired Skills:-

• Strong leadership and team coordination skills.
• Ability to work independently, make decisions, and troubleshoot problems on-site.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to manage interactions with contractors, clients, and team members.
• Experience with renewable energy project sites, such as solar parks or wind farms.
• Familiarity with environmental impact assessments and sustainable construction practices.

Work Environment:-

• Field-based: This position requires regular site visits to monitor the civil works, inspect ongoing construction activities, and oversee day-to-day operations on-site.
• Occasional travel to different project sites, especially during the construction and commissioning phases.

Location:-

• Gujarat, India.
