Responsibilities
* Lead civil engineering review of onshore cable route FEED.
* Assess trenching design, ducting, joint bay layouts, and HDD feasibility (road, rail, watercourses, landfall).
* Assure thermal resistivity, drainage, and access design, including AIL (Abnormal Indivisible Load) transport routes.
* Support the consents team in preparing engineering input for planning condition discharges (traffic management, drainage strategies, watercourse crossings).
* Liaise with Transport Scotland, local authorities, utilities, and landowners to secure crossing approvals.
* Coordinate with FEED consultants.
* Ensure alignment of civil works with electrical package requirements and land management constraints.
* Contribute to procurement strategy, including Stage 1 ITT documents and scope definitions.
* Translate FEED outputs into clear tender/contract deliverables for the civils scope.
* Ensure constructability reviews, risk registers, and early works scopes are captured.
* Provide engineering support during tender evaluation and contractor onboarding.
* Adapt engineering scope to reflect evolving land, consent, and design constraints in a changing project environment.
* Balance schedule impact with project objectives, ensuring technical assurance while enabling programme delivery.
* Support the package team in evaluating change, identifying risks and opportunities, and keeping the project on track for FID (Final Investment Decision).
Requirements
* 10-15 years of civil engineering experience, focusing on onshore cable routes in offshore wind, interconnectors, or transmission.
* Demonstrable experience in HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) and landfall interface, with expertise in both design and constructability.
* Strong track record supporting FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) through to construction and tender preparation.
* Proven ability to adapt to shifting project scope, balancing schedule, risk, and delivery objectives.
