Design Engineer (Roads & Highway)

Role & 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 Design

  s

  :

  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 unitrate build-ups using CPWD/State SoR/MoRTH SoR/DSR; perform market-rate checks and quantity reconciliation.

• Preparing Tender Documents:

  Compile bid packages Technical Specs, Employers 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.

• Post Graduate should be preferred. (M.E/MTech in Transportation/Highways)
• Candidate should have minimum 10 years experience in Roads & 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.
