Track Inspector

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct daily inspections of track works, including rail alignment, gauge, levels, welds, fasteners, turnouts, and expansion gaps as per approved drawings.
  
• Verify track geometry parameters (gauge, cross level, twist, and curvature) using approved measurement instruments and record deviations.
  
• Monitor compliance with project technical specifications, RDSO / AREMA / UIC standards, and contractor quality plans.
  
• Prepare inspection reports, non-conformance records, and daily logs in coordination with the Resident Engineer.
  
• Supervise concreting and plinth work, fastening system installation, pre-stressing (if applicable), and rail welding activities.
  
• Check and verify material deliveries (rails, clips, sleepers, insulators, etc.) for type, quantity, and compliance with specifications.
  
• Participate in joint inspections with the client (CMRL), EPC contractor, and GC for pre-pour, pre-stressing, and track laying stages.
  
• Assist in checking rail weld quality, NDT test results, and maintenance of track inspection register.
  
• Monitor track interface works with structures, signalling, and traction power systems to prevent inter-discipline clashes.
  
• Ensure safety compliance at site, including track possession schedules, barricading, and communication with train operators.
