How will you make your impact?

As a Junior SME Civil Engineering with Linxon, you will be a key contributor to the successful delivery of civil and structural engineering solutions for AIS and GIS substations (11kV–550kV), battery energy storage systems, and renewable energy substations across wind and solar portfolios. From early design development through construction support and project closeout, your work will directly impact safety, constructability, schedule certainty, cost efficiency, and long‑term asset performance. Embedded within the Linxon Americas Engineering Team, you will collaborate across disciplines, apply engineering fundamentals to real‑world infrastructure challenges, and progressively build the technical depth and project accountability required to grow into a Senior Civil Engineer, SME, or Lead Engineer role within 3–5 years.

What will you do?

• You will support the planning, development, and delivery of civil and structural design packages, carrying work from concept and preliminary design through detailed engineering and issued‑for‑construction drawings to enable successful project execution.

• You will review and validate substation layouts and site arrangements from early design through final approval to ensure constructability, spatial coordination, regulatory compliance, and efficient use of site constraints.

• You will perform quantity take‑offs and material estimates from design models and drawings, supporting accurate cost forecasts, procurement planning, and scope control throughout the project lifecycle.

• You will develop earthworks, grading, and drainage designs that address site conditions, constructability, environmental considerations, and long‑term operability from pre‑design through construction support.

• You will complete basic foundation and structural calculations, applying engineering principles to steel and concrete systems that ensure safety, code compliance, and durability from design development through technical review.

• You will prepare and review steel and concrete structure detailing, ensuring drawings are buildable, coordinated, and aligned with construction sequencing and field execution needs.

• You will apply company standards, project specifications, and industry codes while progressively building independent engineering judgment and technical accountability under senior engineer guidance.

• You will identify and propose opportunities for design efficiency, constructability improvements, and cost optimization, contributing to better project outcomes through collaborative technical review and implementation.

• You will participate in technical, interdisciplinary, and constructability reviews, helping identify risks early and supporting solutions that protect safety, schedule, and quality.

• You will assist with engineering effort estimates and forecasting inputs, enabling accurate resource planning and alignment between scope, schedule, and budget.

• You will collaborate with electrical, BIM, and electro‑mechanical engineers to ensure fully coordinated designs that integrate civil works seamlessly with overall substation systems.

• You will participate in hazard identification (HAZID) sessions and design coordination meetings, supporting risk mitigation and safer project delivery from design through execution.

• You will provide design clarification and technical support to construction and site teams, helping resolve issues, manage changes, and maintain progress during execution.

• You will prepare, review, and maintain engineering documentation in line with Linxon quality processes, ensuring accuracy, consistency, traceability, and audit readiness.

• You will support customer and technical assurance reviews by preparing responses, updating documentation, and ensuring design comments are closed efficiently and accurately.

• You will coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to respond to technical queries and integrate external inputs into the overall engineered solution.

• You will work under the mentorship of line managers, senior engineers, and technical specialists, translating feedback into continuous skill development and increasing technical ownership.

• You will manage assigned work packages to completion, ensuring deliverables meet agreed scope, schedule, and budget commitments.

• You will actively participate in training, technical development, and knowledge‑sharing initiatives, steadily building expertise and credibility as a future civil engineering SME.

Who you are?

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and a strong foundation in civil and structural engineering principles.

• You have 0–3 years of relevant experience through internships, graduate roles, or junior engineering positions within infrastructure, energy, power, or industrial environments.

• You have a fundamental understanding of geotechnical reports, site investigations, earthworks, grading, drainage, and basic concrete and steel design concepts.

• You have exposure to structural analysis tools such as STAAD and/or SAP2000 through academic or professional use.

• You have experience or coursework using AutoCAD, MicroStation, and/or Revit to support coordinated design development.

• You have strong analytical thinking skills and attention to detail, enabling accurate calculations, clear documentation, and reliable engineering outputs.

• You have a willingness to learn, ask questions, and take on increasing responsibility as you grow into a technical SME role.

• You have interest in developing long‑term expertise in substations, renewable energy, and grid infrastructure projects.

• You have EIT / Engineer‑in‑Training status or are actively progressing toward professional licensure.

• You have strong written and verbal communication skills in both English and Spanish, enabling effective collaboration across teams and stakeholders.

We are proud to announce that LinxonAmericas has been certified as a Great Place to Work® reflecting our commitment to fostering a diverse, inclusive environment that fuels innovation and teamwork.
