About the Role:
A major player in the renewable energy industry is looking to strengthen its engineering division in Italy by hiring a Civil Engineer for its Technical Office team. The role focuses on delivering high-quality civil design for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. The position covers both conceptual and detailed design phases and offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment committed to sustainable infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
Prepare and review civil engineering plans, technical specifications, and reports for renewable energy projects.
Provide design input and technical support during the permitting phase of solar PV and BESS installations.
Verify, review, and comment on civil and structural engineering deliverables related to project execution.
Perform or review geotechnical and hydrological studies to assess site conditions.
Assist in the development of foundation and structural designs tailored to project requirements.
Identify and implement improvements in design documentation and engineering workflows.
Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to meet project deadlines and performance expectations.
Ensure compliance with quality assurance and quality control protocols for all design outputs.
Support the broader engineering team with technical documentation and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Required Qualifications & Skills:
Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline.
Experience: Minimum of 3 years in civil or structural design for infrastructure or energy-related projects (renewable or thermal).
Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with Eurocodes, NTC (Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni), and other relevant national/international design standards.
Understanding of geotechnical, geological, and hydrological assessment methods.
Experience in foundation and structural design for large-scale projects.
Software Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD, Civil3D, and PVCase .
Experience with additional tools such as Bentley MicroStation, STAAD Pro, Revit, or ETABS is a plus.
Language Skills: Native or fluent in Italian; good command of English
Other: Operational independence and ability to work collaboratively across technical and non-technical teams.
Being a chartered engineer in Italy with the ability to sign technical documents is a plus.
Familiarity with civil engineering components of grid connection infrastructure for PV/BESS is advantageous.
