Intern, Data Analysis applied to geophysical and geotechnical investigations

Equans Solar & Storage will imminently launch its Lightspeed Solar Portfolio (LSP) program, a utility-scale testbed environment to trial and deploy innovation projects that help to lower the cost of constructing and operating large-scale solar and storage projects. LSP will be part of ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program, contributing to ARENA’s goals to reduce LCOE of renewables technologies in Australia.

The team you’ll be joining

Our Australian team consists of approximately 50 highly skilled engineers, and it is expanding rapidly due to the growth of large-scale hybrid projects.

You will be a part of our growing Innovations team tasked with the implementation of our LSP program, specifically in the Digital and Construction workstreams.

- Consolidate and manage large datasets from intrusive investigations (e.g. boreholes, test pits), non-intrusive investigations (e.g. geophysical surveys), and piling installation records.
- Build predictive models and data visualization tools to improve ground risk assessment, project budgeting and construction planning.
- Continue and enhance an existing preliminary model previously developed by Equans in France, adapting it to Australian ground conditions and project requirements.
- Collaborate with engineering, construction and innovation teams to translate technical findings into practical recommendations for project development and delivery.
- Prepare technical reports, presentations and documentation to communicate methodologies, assumptions and key findings to internal stakeholders.
- Liaise with consultants, performing technical analysis of consultants proposals, attend site visits/occasional travels to site
