Civil Technical Lead

Overall Objective:

Provide comprehensive civil engineering design, review, coordination and assurance services to support the client's project lifecycle for mission-critical data centre developments.

Key Service Activities:

• Develop, review and provide technical assurance for civil engineering designs associated with data centre campuses, including site infrastructure, roads, drainage, grading, earthworks, utilities and external works.

• Review civil engineering calculations, specifications, reports, drawings and technical documentation to ensure compliance with applicable standards, codes and client requirements.

• Develop and review site grading, storm water drainage, surface water management, utility infrastructure and civil site development solutions.

• Review civil infrastructure interfaces with buildings, electrical yards, mechanical yards, substations and wider campus infrastructure.

• Demonstrate familiarity with relevant local and international civil engineering standards, codes and regulations.

• Review and assess proposed civil engineering solutions for constructability, cost efficiency, programme impact, operational performance and long-term maintainability.

Design Review & Coordination:

• Review and comment on civil drawings and design documentation using Google Workspace, BIM360, ACC and 3Dx cloud platforms
• Assess technical content, coordination and quality, identifying and escalating critical items affecting schedule, cost, constructability or project delivery to client consultants and contractors during design meetings.
• Ensure civil designs comply with all client Standards, Guidelines, OPRs and Narratives.

Site Development & Infrastructure Coordination:

• Provide technical input into site development and civil infrastructure strategies, ensuring effective coordination between civil works and architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical systems.
• Review site logistics, access arrangements, drainage, utilities, levels and interfaces between external and internal infrastructure.

System Optimization & Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify, suggest and document improvements to civil engineering systems and design solutions, focusing on technology adoption, cost efficiency, time savings, constructability, sustainability, resilience and operational performance.

Defect Resolution & Project Closure:

• Support the management of civil engineering defects, punch-list items, site observations and outstanding works through to resolution.
• Participate in final inspections and provide technical input required for formal project closure.

Reporting & Communication:

• Provide regular updates and maintain comprehensive trackers of issues, risks, design actions and mitigation measures related to civil engineering.
• Report issues, progress and blocking items to the client's Technical Program Manager and Technical Lead.

Meeting Participation & Strategic Direction:

• Attend design, coordination and technical meetings, providing continual civil engineering input to optimise design and minimise unnecessary work.
• Provide clear technical direction to consultants, contractors and project partners when addressing civil engineering problems or problem statements.

Technical Liaison: Act as a key technical liaison between the client team, dedicated resources, external vendors, civil engineering consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders for all civil engineering aspects.

Documentation Management & Standards Enhancement:

• Update owner-standard documentation, specifications and technical guidance as civil engineering design improvements are implemented.
• Provide administrative assistance on project documentation, including revision control, deliverable tracking and final upload to the AODocs cloud database system.
