Your Impact as a Senior Civil Engineer:
As a Civil Engineer, you will provide subject-matter-expertise supporting the Geotechnical, Civil, and Structural aspects of energy storage, generation, and data center projects throughout all phases of project development. You will be responsible for earthworks, drainage infrastructure, shallow and deep foundations, and structural connections to electrical equipment. You will collaborate closely with other disciplines within the Energy Vault engineering team and with the broader execution group.
In pre-construction you will provide input to support execution planning, project estimating, concept-level site design, and external Engineer of Record (EoR) scoping and selection. Through engineering design you will support design management, design review, and value engineering. During construction you will review Subcontractor Submittals, RFIs, and NCRs. You will also provide regular site presence in support of QA/QC. Initially the jobsites are expected to be primarily in Texas, and periods of site presence will need to extend to multiple days at a time where you work closely with Energy Vault Construction Management teams. At project close-out you will be responsible for ensuring accurate as-built records and quality documents for Civil elements are produced and recorded.
Beyond day-to-day support of high quality and timely project execution, you will work to support continuous improvement and innovation in pursuit of “best-in-class” delivery.
