Highway Designer

Job location - Thane West

Working days - 6 days (Alternative Saturday Off ) & 10am to 6 pm

Role Summary :

• Lead 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 crosssections, 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 unitrate build-ups using CPWD/State SoR/MoRTH SoR/ DSR perform market-rate checks and quantity reconciliation.

Preparing Tender Documents:

Compile bid packagesTechnical 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. Required Qualifications & Skills

Qualification :

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.
