Manager - Structure Design (Transmission Tower Design)

Key Responsibilities:

1. Structural Design & Analysis

• Lead structural design and analysis of lattice towers (self-supporting, guyed, and monopole types) for EHV/UHV transmission lines (132 kV to 765 kV and above).
  
• Perform load calculations as per IS/IEC/ASCE/PGCIL standards and project-specific requirements.
  
• Finalize tower configuration, bracing system, and member sizing considering wind, seismic, and loading conditions.
  
• Review and validate design calculations using software tools (STAAD.Pro / PLS-Tower / SAP2000).
  
• Conduct optimization studies for material reduction and cost efficiency.
  

2. Design Documentation & Drawings

• Oversee preparation and checking of GA drawings, shop drawings, bill of materials (BOM), and assembly drawings.
  
• Ensure compatibility between structural design and foundation design.
  
• Approve design deliverables before issue to fabrication or client.
  
• Coordinate with drafting teams for accuracy and completeness of drawings.
  

3. Technical Coordination

• Interface with clients, consultants, and internal project teams for design approvals and clarifications.
  
• Provide technical inputs to procurement, fabrication, and construction teams during project execution.
  
• Participate in design review meetings and resolve technical queries promptly.
  

4. Standardization & Quality

• Develop and implement standard design templates, design manuals, and checklists.
  
• Ensure adherence to applicable codes, standards, and QMS procedures.
  
• Conduct design validation, peer reviews, and audit checks.
  

5. Team Management

• Guide and mentor design engineers and draftsmen in structural analysis and detailing.
  
• Allocate work, review performance, and ensure timely delivery of design outputs.
  
• Identify training needs and enhance team technical capabilities.
  

6. Support to Tendering & Proposals

• Provide preliminary designs, tower weights, and technical inputs during bid estimation and proposal preparation.
  
• Evaluate client tender specifications and highlight deviations or optimization opportunities.
