Design Engineer

Department: DevCon

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Germany

Compensation: €54,000 - €64,000 / year

Description

• During origination, you will be involved in the initial analysis of sites, assessing site suitability and creating a concept design.  Property drawings are a significant part of this stage.
• A large focus of our work is during the development stage - Field is owner and operator of all of our sites and so we do a lot of upfront assessments and design work to support our planning applications. You will use topographic surveys, intrusive ground investigations, infiltration testing and access studies to inform the designs and ensuring that they are robust, and safe to construct and operate; and 
• Once a project has received planning consent you will work with our construction team and contractors to ensure the project is built in accordance with our design standards, reviewing detailed design drawings from the contractor, and working on planning variations where needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Single-line diagrams;
• Planning application drawing packages; 
• Land and legal plans; 
• Engineering schematics and utility drawings;
• Cut & fill and levels drawings;
• Pre-construction information.

• You’re enthusiastic, curious and knowledgeable about the energy storage industry, with a particular passion to learn about the technical aspects of BESS.
• You’ve got an eye for detail. Accuracy in our designs is critical; you’ll work to a high standard and collaborate with others to ensure constructable designs.
• You’re very organised - you’ll be spinning a few plates at once, so you’ll need to have tried and tested methods for keeping on top of a varied workload at your fingertips. 
• You’re an open, clear communicator who enjoys working collaboratively - there are no ‘lone wolves’ at Field, we’re all in this together.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Excellent knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D as your primary design tools;
• Experience with 3D modelling software such as Revit or 3ds Max is desirable but not essential;
• Experience supporting or managing planning applications and an understanding of the planning process;
• Working knowledge of CDM regulations and an awareness of designer responsibilities throughout the project lifecycle;
• Experience within the renewable energy or energy storage industry is desirable but not essential;
• Business level German is highly desirable;
• Experience working internationally is desirable but not essential;
• Degree in engineering or a related discipline is desirable but not essential.

• Genuine impact: You will actually be building and operating the renewable infrastructure we need to reach net zero. This is not a green CSR initiative, but a company that is taking a leading role in building one of the critical solutions to a generational problem.
• Make things happen: We are still a relatively early stage company, and you will have significant accountability to make things happen from day one. You will have a lot of autonomy, will learn quickly, and be given a LOT of room to grow.
• Define a new industry: The energy market is in a paradigm shift right now, evolving at a breathtaking pace, and you will play a leading role in defining how that market evolves and innovates over the next few years. 
• Exceptional team: We are an eclectic team with varied backgrounds. We have experience scaling billion dollar tech start-ups and building energy companies, as well as deep specialisms in the energy markets. You will learn from and work with a bunch of fun, curious, and entrepreneurial people who really want to make an impact. 

• Move fast - We’re finishers. Doers. Pragmatists. We take responsibility. We see things through and we always deliver on our promises. We roll up our sleeves and get things done. FAST.
• Know your stuff - We’re curious and pride ourselves on always learning, adapting and improving. There are no stupid questions here. We’re self-starters. We’re all learning and growing, always. And we take accountability for our own growth
• Do it right - We do things the right way and never cut corners. We always put safety above profit. We carefully manage the impact of our work on local communities and the broader environment. We are intentional and act with integrity at all times.
• Work for the team - We are friendly and approachable. We make time for one another, we lean on each other. We learn from one another, and we value diversity of thought and experience so we learn faster and get better
