Civil/Structural Engineer (Onshore/Offshore)

Employment Status: Full-time (Permanent Employee)
Target Vacancies: 1

Company Introduction

A renewable energy power developer that develops wind and solar power generation projects not only in Japan but also in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Our strength lies in our high ratio of overseas business, which allows us to diversify risks related to natural environments and political climates. (By operating wind farms globally, we can continuously generate power. Furthermore, differing electricity laws across countries help diversify risk and generate stable revenue).

In recent years, leveraging the expertise and experience cultivated in onshore wind power, along with the capital strength and global network of our parent company (a major trading house), we are actively expanding into new areas.

Job Description

You will be comprehensively responsible for civil and architectural engineering matters related to the construction of onshore/offshore wind power plants and solar power plants both in Japan and overseas.

Specific Duties

Civil & Architectural Engineering Management for New Domestic/Overseas Projects
- Site investigations, basic design, formulation of estimation specifications, and selection of contractors (EPC).
- Technical coordination with regulatory authorities.
- Detailed design management and construction management executed by EPC contractors.
- Technical evaluation and design supervision of wind turbines and wind turbine support structures (towers, foundations).
- Technical evaluation of acquisition projects (scrutinizing consultant reports, site investigations, etc.).
Technical Investigations and Construction Management (Domestic & Overseas)

Note: Approximately 25% of working days will involve business trips to domestic or overseas sites (construction sites, candidate locations, operating power plants), with domestic trips being the primary focus.

For the offshore wind position, the main focus will initially be supporting the development of new domestic and international projects. In Japan, this includes project planning and bid response. In the future, technical investigation, design supervision, and construction supervision for domestic/overseas projects will be added to your responsibilities.

Work Distribution / Approach

You will be expected to handle all the above duties in a well-balanced manner.

Key Attractions of This Position

Contribute directly to Japan's initiatives toward achieving carbon neutrality.
Work from the owner/operator’s perspective, allowing you to exercise high autonomy in upstream operations.
Engage in large-scale projects within a highly active and prominent industry.
Apply expertise gained from onshore wind power to the emerging field of offshore wind power.

Other Benefits:

Highly competitive compensation structure.
Remote work flexibility (up to 60% telecommuting allowed).
Flat organizational structure with proximity to executives, ensuring fast-paced decision-making.

Target Candidates

Professionals with experience working at steel manufacturers, engineering firms, general contractors, construction consulting firms, power/utility companies, heavy industry manufacturers, or heavy electrical equipment manufacturers.
