Design Head- Metro

Design Head – Metro Sector

Location: Delhi

Experience: 18+ years

About Role:

We are seeking a technically accomplished and delivery-focused Design Head – Metro Sector to lead multidisciplinary engineering design across metro rail, urban transit, and allied infrastructure projects. This role demands deep technical expertise, strong leadership, and the ability to deliver high-quality, execution-ready design outputs across DPRs, GFCs, and tender packages for PMC projects. The candidate will drive end-to-end metro design—covering alignment, stations, depots, traction, and system integration—while engaging with government authorities, metro corporations, and donor agencies. The role involves leading a cross-functional design team embedded within our infrastructure delivery ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Metro Infrastructure Design

● Lead design and engineering for elevated, at-grade, and underground metro corridors, including alignment, viaducts, tunnels, stations, and depots.

● Oversee multidisciplinary design covering civil, structural, architectural, track, electrical, signaling, telecommunications, AFC, and MEP systems.

● Ensure design integration across civil and system packages, optimizing constructability, safety, and operational efficiency.

● Deliver Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), Good for Construction (GFC) drawings, BOQs, and tender documentation in compliance with client and statutory requirements.

● Ensure designs align with standards and specifications of MoHUA, DMRC, RDSO, CMRS, and international codes where applicable.

2. Systems & Interface Coordination

● Coordinate design interfaces between civil structures, rolling stock, signaling, power supply, and trackwork disciplines.

● Integrate SCADA-readiness, BIM coordination, Digital Twin capability, and asset management data structures within design deliverables.

● Ensure design readiness for driverless metro systems (UTO/DTO) and compliance with modern transit technology requirements.

3. Team Management & Quality Assurance

● Lead and mentor a team of 20–40 engineers, architects, and CAD/BIM professionals across civil, structural, and system design disciplines.

● Institutionalize QA/QC processes, version control, interdisciplinary reviews, and technical audits.

● Build internal capability through SOPs, skill development, and adoption of advanced modeling tools. Digital Engineering & Design Tools

● Ensure use of AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks, STAAD Pro, MX Rail, OpenRail, Bentley Rail Track, and GIS platforms for design development.

● Promote BIM-based design workflows, clash detection, constructability assessments, and digital documentation compatible with company's central design hub.

● Facilitate Digital Twin readiness and lifecycle design integration for metro assets.

4. Stakeholder Coordination & Project Delivery

● Represent company's in design review meetings, technical vetting sessions, and interfaces with DMRC, state metro corporations, consultants, and contractors.

● Provide technical leadership during bidding, feasibility, and project development stages, contributing to design schedules, risk registers, and resource plans.

● Ensure designs are practical, implementable, and optimized for safety, cost, and construction timelines.

Preferred Profile:

● Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or related field from a reputed institution.

● 15+ years of experience in metro rail/urban transit design, including DPR and detailed design stages.

● Proven track record of delivering large-scale metro or urban transport projects in EPC/PMC environments.

● Strong knowledge of Indian and international codes, safety standards, and interoperability requirements. ● Experience in multidisciplinary coordination, BIM workflows, and digital engineering practices.
