Job Requirements

At Quest Global, it's not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.

Key Responsibilities

Define, supervise and review site surveys reports submitted by consultant / third parties (geotechnical, topographical, hydrological, environmental, permitting), evaluating suitability for linear works layout (access roads, drainage networks, platforms, cable trenches) and identifying risks with corresponding mitigation measures.

• Lead the design, optimization and review of access roads, platforms and drainage systems for renewable projects (solar PV, {wind and BESS is advantage}), ensuring constructability, cost-effectiveness and compliance with international and local standards.
• Cooperate with multidisciplinary teams (structural, electrical, environmental, permitting, CAD/BIM) to integrate linear works into the overall plant layout, including accurate earthworks estimates and construction methodologies.
• Support Project Development and Project Acquisition phases by assessing civil and hydrological risks, validating site characterization studies, and challenging engineering assumptions to secure robust and reliable designs.
• Participate in EPC tendering processes, preparing and reviewing civil works design packages (linear works), evaluating proposals, and supporting technical negotiations with contractors.
• Contribute to LCOE optimization through innovative and cost-efficient solutions in linear works design, balancing technical, environmental and commercial constraints.
• Review and approve detailed engineering designs (Owner's Engineering scope), leading technical discussions and ensuring alignment with company technical standards and best practices.
• Manage and coordinate external consultants and contractors for geotechnical, hydrological and road design studies, ensuring delivery of high-quality outputs on time and within budget.
• Conduct and review civil engineering calculations for earthworks, drainage, pavements and foundations associated with linear infrastructures.
• Ensure compliance with internal Technical Standards, international norms and local regulations applicable to linear infrastructures.
• Support Construction and Quality teams during project execution, providing technical clarifications, reviewing change requests and contributing to problem resolution on site.
• Report progress, risks and key decisions to the Central Civil Engineering Team, ensuring knowledge transfer and alignment across regions.

We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.

We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. We know embracing our unique differences makes us better, and that solving the worlds hardest engineering problems requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We shine the brightest when we tap into the many dimensions that thrive across over 21,000 difference-makers in our workplace.
