Sector / Field: Batteries / Industry / EPC Projects
Location: Haut de France, France
Context
Strengthening engineering teams for the construction and expansion of battery gigafactories. Fast-paced projects featuring complex industrial buildings including dry rooms, sensitive process areas, laboratories, utility buildings, outdoor infrastructures, and special foundations.
Main Responsibilities
Design and Studies
-
Perform or review civil engineering (CE) studies: preliminary design, calculation notes, reinforced concrete structure plans, steel framework plans, formwork and rebar drawings.
-
Verify process loads, heavy machinery loads, and vibrations.
-
Consider specific constraints: dry rooms, heavy process equipment, high permanent/dynamic loads, strict flatness and stability tolerances.
-
Contribute to civil engineering technical decisions in coordination with architecture, utilities, process, and HVAC teams.
Technical Coordination
-
Ensure coordination of civil engineering with process, HVAC, electrical, fire protection systems, and external utilities.
-
Verify BIM model consistency and participate in interdisciplinary reviews (clash detection, openings, load interactions).
Contractor Follow-up and On-Site Support
-
Analyze contractor execution studies, issue technical approvals (VISA), and verify compliance with standards and project execution documentation.
-
Respond to RFIs and address non-conformities.
-
Provide technical support on site: validate construction methods, ensure quality control, manage interfaces with other trades.
Documentation and Reporting
-
Prepare technical notes, specifications, tender documents (CCTP), and bid packages.
-
Monitor design schedules and deliverables related to civil engineering.
-
Provide regular updates to the Project Manager or Lead Civil Engineer.
Profile
-
Civil/Structural Engineering degree (ESTP, INSA, Arts & Métiers, Polytech, etc.).
-
3 to 10 years of experience in civil engineering for industrial or complex building projects.
-
Strong understanding of interfaces with electrical, HVAC, and process systems.
-
Professional English required.
Skills / Tools
-
Proficiency in civil engineering design and calculation software (AutoCAD, Revit Structure, etc.).
-
Knowledge of EN standards, ISO, Eurocodes.
-
BIM coordination and multi-discipline interface management.
-
Ability to work on international EPC projects.
