Senior Highway Designer

Role SummaryLead the geometric and pavement design of national/state highways and urban corridors from concept to IFC stage. Coordinate multidisciplinary inputs, ensure compliance with IRC/MoRTH/IS standards, and drive timely client/authority approvals. Mentor junior engineers and uphold our QA/QC and safety-by-design practices.Key Responsibilities- Geometric Design: Prepare optimize horizontal & vertical alignments, typical cross-sections, junctions/interchanges, service roads, access control, bus bays/lay-bys, and median & shoulder treatments as per IRC:73/86/65, MoRTH Spec (latest rev.).- Junction/Intersection Designs: Design at-grade junctions, roundabouts, signalized intersections, channelization, turning templates, pedestrian/cycle facilities, and grade-separated interchanges as per IRC:SP-41/65/99 and MoRTH.- Pavement Design: Perform new/overlay designs using traffic loading and materials data in line with IRC:37/58/81; prepare layer compositions, thickness design notes, and life-cycle considerations.- Drainage & Road Safety: Size and lay road-side drains/culverts (concept level), ensure sight distance, super-elevation, transitions, roadside safety appurtenances per IRC:SP-73/IRC:SP-84/IRC:SP-88; integrate RSA findings.- Digital Delivery: Develop plan-profile-cross-section drawings, 3D surface models, and quantities/BOQ; manage design data, model coordination, and revisions using CDEs.- Approvals & Coordination: Interface with clients/authorities (MoRTH/NHAI/PIU/ULBs), respond to RFIs, and secure DFR/DPR/Good-for-Construction approvals; coordinate with structures, traffic, utilities, environment, and land teams.- Rate Analysis & Estimate Preparation: Develop BOQs, abstract of cost, and unit-rate build-ups using CPWD/State SoR/MoRTH SoR/DSR; perform market-rate checks and quantity reconciliation.- Preparing Tender Documents: Compile bid packages—Technical Specs, Employer’s Requirements, BOQ, drawings, and addenda; support pre-bid queries and tender evaluation inputs.- Site Support: Provide shop-drawing reviews, design clarifications, and change notes during construction; resolve field non-conformities with practical, standards-compliant fixes.- Documentation: Produce design reports, method statements, design calculations, and checklists aligned to ISO 9001/14001/45001 and internal QAP.- Mentoring & QA/QC: Review/check others’ work, run peer reviews, and enforce model/drawing standards to reduce rework.Required Qualifications & Skills- Education: B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering having M.E./M.Tech in Transportation/Highways .- Experience: 10–12 years in highway/expressway design with at least 2 end-to-end DPR/IFC deliveries; exposure to EPC/HAM documentation desirable.- Codes/Standards: Strong command of IRC (73/37/58/81, SP-73/84/99, etc.), MoRTH Specifications, and BIS/IS where applicable; familiarity with AASHTO is a plus.- Software: Proficiency in any two major platforms: Autodesk Civil 3D; strong AutoCAD; basics of QGIS/ArcGIS; MS Excel for design calculation.- Technical Skills: Geometric design, pavement thickness design, quantity take-offs, BOQ/costing inputs, constructability, and utilities/interface awareness.- Soft Skills: Clear technical writing, client/stakeholder communication, planning & prioritization, and team mentoring.Preference- Experience on NH projects (NHAI/MoRTH/State PWD) and World Bank/ADB procedures.- Basic hydrology/drainage sizing (HEC-RAS/HEC-HMS familiarity is a plus).Employment Details- Location: Thane, Mumbai with travel to sites/client offices- Type: Full-time.- Reporting To: Director – HighwaysWhat We Offer- Complex, high-impact projects (NH/SH/Urban Corridors).- Strong design governance, mentoring, and growth pathways.- Competitive compensation
