TL - Transmission Line Design Engineer

·       Act as
the overall technical authority for Transmission Line (TL) engineering,
responsible for defining, governing and approving all technical aspects of
transmission line projects across the complete project lifecycle.

·       Establish,
implement and maintain the Transmission Line Design Basis, engineering
philosophies, calculation methodologies and standard practices, ensuring
alignment with national and international standards, regulations and
client -specific technical requirements.

·       Provide
technical leadership for route alignment and survey interface, including review
and validation of topographical surveys, longitudinal profiles and plan
drawings, ensuring routing decisions adequately address electrical clearances,
ROW constraints, environmental considerations, access, constructability and
lifecycle risks.

·       Govern
the electrical design of transmission lines, including selection and approval
of conductors, ground wire / OPGW, phase configuration, insulation strings and
geometry, and ensuring sag–tension philosophy adequately considers temperature
effects, creep behaviour and code -mandated reliability conditions.

·       Lead
and approve PLS -CADD based tower spotting and span optimisation, ensuring
appropriate tower type selection, sectioning philosophy and angle distribution,
while balancing structural safety, foundation feasibility, constructability and
overall project cost optimisation.

·       Define
and approve tower structural design criteria, including reliability levels,
governing load cases and load combinations covering normal, maximum wind,
minimum temperature, broken wire (phase -wise and ground wire), angle deviation
and security conditions.

·       Review
and approve tower structural analysis and design outputs, including results
from PLS -Tower, PLS -Pole or equivalent tools, member sizing, slenderness
checks, utilisation ratios, connection philosophy and detailing approach,
ensuring readiness for prototype tower testing where applicable.

·       Coordinate
and govern foundation design approach in conjunction with geotechnical inputs,
including interpretation of soil investigation reports, selection of appropriate
foundation types (pad & chimney, pile, rock or special foundations), and
validation of foundation loads derived from tower analysis.

·       Oversee
preparation, review and approval of engineering deliverables and documentation,
including design calculation reports, plan & profile drawings, tower
schedules, foundation drawings, stringing charts, erection drawings and
construction -ready documentation, ensuring accuracy, clarity, revision control
and traceability.

·       Lead
internal and external design reviews, technical workshops and risk assessments,
identifying design, constructability and execution risks at early stages and
defining appropriate mitigation measures.

·       Drive
value engineering and optimisation initiatives across line routing, tower
spotting, tower and foundation design, without compromising safety, reliability
or statutory compliance.

·       Act as
the technical escalation point for execution -stage support, including
resolution of site -driven design changes, non -conformances, deviations,
construction -stage technical queries, and finalisation of as -built engineering
documentation.

·       Interface
effectively with clients, utilities, EPC contractors, PMCs and internal
multidisciplinary teams, ensuring technical alignment, timely resolution of
comments and smooth progression of engineering deliverables.

·       Support
bid and tender -stage engineering activities, including review of technical
specifications, definition of engineering scope and assumptions, estimation of
engineering effort and identification of technical risks impacting cost and
schedule.
