Senior Civil Design Engineer (m/f/d) - Gigafactory Berlin - Brandenburg

As a Design Engineer in Tesla's Civil team, you will be responsible for design development of civil infrastructure projects following the HOAI phases of design / equivalent from concept to execution for all kind of infrastructure project i.e. Underground utility infrastructure such as rainwater, drinking- and sewage water, pressure lines (Gas, Hydrant lines) and traffic infrastructure such as roads, parking areas, pedestrian areas, etc.

You will be joining a team of driven engineers with a huge scope, reach, and potential impact.

Civil infrastructure is one of the key elements in the development of the Giga factory Berlin.  You will be required to apply your deep knowledge in designing in a multi-disciplinary environment, always keeping budget and timelines in mind.  
Your day-to-day tasks will involve design, coordination, reviewing and contributing to various projects. An example would be the infrastructure development of buildings on site e.g., Vehicle and pedestrian access such as utility connections (rain-, sewage – drinking water).

• Design development for underground- and traffic infrastructures
• Hydraulic modelling of the site utility networks
• Work in a team of Civil engineers, traffic simulation and drafters also with focus on priorities in the project
• Produce graphic presentations, and construction drawings
• Create technical- and permit reports (water permit + BImSchG)
• Participate in all project phases, including conceptual designs, presentations, permitting design, schematic design, design development at various stages, construction documents and production, RFI and field validation work
• Collaborate with design team, consultants, contractors, fabricators, regulatory agencies, and other vendors to meet overall project objectives
• Assist with the review of RFI’s and Submittals during the construction administration portion of the project
• Drive and obtain permits with all local authorities and departments
• Perform design option analysis for cost efficiency, constructability, creating BoQs etc.

• Master’s degree in civil or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
• Minimum of 5 years of related project experience
• Ability to work with non-clearly defined targets and minimum of information
• Strong problem-solving skills and determination as well as a highly efficient way of working
• Experience working with permitting, procurement, construction and checking engineers, coordinating multiple manufacturing, operation, and engineering disciplines
• Proficiency in 2D/3D software, such as Auto CAD, Civil3D, desirable Revit
• Knowledge of relevant German civil design related codes (DIN, FGSV, DWA, ASR, AwSV, WHG)
• German and/or English proficiency required; more is a plus
• Recent understanding of BlmSchG projects and projects in water protection zones are a plus
• Experience with complicated infrastructures with analysis of tradeoffs for a vehicle factory on tight timeline and building boundaries
