Engineer - Alignment

The Assistant Manager – Alignment Design is responsible for assisting in the planning, design, and coordination of railway alignments for new or existing lines. This includes horizontal and vertical alignment design, route optimization, and coordination with survey, geotechnical, structural, and environmental teams to ensure technically sound and cost-effective alignment solutions.

Requirements

Minimum 5 to 6 years of relevant experience in railway alignment design, specifically in the planning and geometric design of railway corridors (mainline, metro, high-speed, or freight).

Candidate Must Have Experience In

Designing horizontal and vertical alignments using software such as Bentley OpenRail, or AutoCAD Civil 3DAnalyzing topographic, LiDAR, and survey data to develop technically and economically viable alignment optionsPreparing and reviewing alignment drawings, plan & profile sheets, and design documentationWorking with cross-functional engineering teams including civil, geotechnical, structural, and signaling

Demonstrated Involvement In

Feasibility studies, detailed project reports (DPRs), or construction-ready alignment designsOptimization of alignments considering terrain, environmental constraints, land acquisition, and construction costsAdherence to national/international design standards such as Indian Railways codes (IRS), UIC, AREMA, or ENSolid understanding of railway geometric design: curve radii, cant, gradient, transition lengths, station layout.Ability to interpret large-scale maps, contour drawings, and corridor plans.Proficient in Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and digital terrain modelling.
