**Description**
General information:Responsible for the coordination and execution of civil & structural engineering in Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS), Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS), and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) projects in the 34.5kV - 500kV range with an emphasis on project safety, cost, quality and reliability.Responsibilities:Support proposal efforts by introducing and promoting innovation, cost saving ideas, and value-added solutions to the overall system design concept. On-site assessment and evaluation of existing equipment, steel structures, foundations, etc., in so called "brown field" substation projects. Provide expertise and support to the proposal and project teams in validating construction sub-contractor bids, and in negotiating sub-contracts for electrical substation and switchyard projects. Prepare, update, and support the execution of civil & structural engineering and site activities in the schedule with emphasis on; On-time delivery, Quality of deliverables, and Project costs. Work with the project lead engineer to develop the Design Criteria and the Document Deliverables list for the project. Provide engineering and design support in specific civil & structural engineering areas, including (but not limited to): Substation / switchyard general arrangement review Estimate civil & structural quantities with emphasis on project cost effectiveness. Grading and drainage design. Foundation calculations and design. Anchor bolt plan and details. Steel structure calculations and design. Building calculations and design. Equipment specifications. Equipment documentation reviews. Material and Construction specifications. Signing and sealing of design packages. Resolve civil and structural design issues as identified by individuals in the project execution team. Notify the project lead engineer of any difficulties encountered in the engineering and design that may adversely impact safety, reliability, quality, cost, or schedule of the Hitachi Energy project deliverables, and provide recommendations for solutions. Perform technical, cost savings, and constructability reviews of civil & structural design packages from internal engineering, outsourced sub-contractor engineering and equipment factories. Utilize knowledge of applicable standards and codes to ensure that designs comply with the required national and local codes and requirements. Assist the department manager in meeting department goals.
