Role Overview

The Civil Engineer is responsible for the design, coordination, and delivery of civil and structural engineering systems for mission-critical data centre projects, working with a moderate degree of independence. The role translates project requirements into civil and structural solutions supporting resilience, scalability, and operational efficiency.

The position contributes to BIM coordination and digital engineering practices across CTS's EMEA project portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop civil and structural engineering designs from feasibility through detailed design and IFC documentation.

• Ensure civil solutions support structural loads for critical equipment, cooling systems, and power infrastructure.

• Produce drawings, specifications, and technical documentation aligned with CTS and Eurocode standards.

• Ensure civil and structural designs account for constructability and fabrication requirements.

• Coordinate civil design with MEP, architectural, and specialist disciplines; work closely with BIM Coordinators for clash-free models.

• Apply BIM methodology and BIM authoring software to develop and coordinate civil and structural models and project information.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of BIM workflows and digital engineering practices.

• Review and respond to RFIs, design changes, and site queries.

• Support client presentations, design reviews, and coordination with local authorities and licensing bodies.

• Provide civil engineering support during construction, including site inspections and shop drawing reviews.

• Ensure compliance with local codes, Eurocode standards, and licensing requirements; support sustainability strategies (BREEAM/LEED).

• Prepare design packages within assigned scope and support QA/QC and as-built documentation.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline; Integrated Master's degree is a plus.

• 4–7 years of experience in critical infrastructure, data centre, or high-complexity industrial projects.

• Working proficiency in Tekla Structures for steel connection detailing.

• Experience with civil drainage and site-services design.

• Experience with modular/prefabrication construction is a plus.

• Proficiency in structural calculation and civil modelling tools (e.g., SAP2000, ETABS, AutoCAD, Revit).

• Good knowledge of BIM workflows, applicable Eurocode standards, and BIM authoring software.

• Coordination experience with multidisciplinary project teams and authority filings.

• Registration with the Ordem dos Engenheiros preferred.

• Availability to travel to project locations as required.

• Intermediate or advanced English required.

• Detail-oriented with strong technical understanding; structured, solution-focused, and delivery-driven; strong communication and coordination skills.

• Strong interest in digitalization and applying technology to improve engineering and construction processes.
