Lead Design- CHP

Key Responsibilities:

1. Leadership & Team Management

• Independently lead and manage a team of design engineers and draftsmen engaged in bulk material handling and utility system design.
• Allocate design tasks, monitor progress, and ensure timely and quality deliverables.
• Mentor and guide team members for technical competence and professional growth.

2. Design Ownership & Core Engineering

• Overall responsibility for the core design, detailing, and engineering activities for bulk material handling projects.
• Develop and validate process flow diagrams (PFDs), system layouts, and general arrangement (GA) drawings.
• Ensure design conformance with project specifications, standards, and functional requirements.

3. Technical Documentation & Specification Development

• Prepare and review material specification sheets, equipment datasheets, and technical requisitions for bought-out items and key mechanical components.
• Ensure accurate and comprehensive Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for all designed systems and subsystems.
• Maintain standardization and consistency in engineering documentation and deliverables.

4. Design Review & Coordination

• Review and approve vendor/sub-vendor drawings and technical documents.
• Provide detailed technical comments and coordinate resolution of discrepancies.
• Liaise with internal departments (Projects, Procurement, Quality, and Site) and external stakeholders (Clients, Consultants, Vendors) for seamless design execution.
• Participate in internal and client design review meetings, ensuring continuous improvement and compliance with feedback.

5. Project & Site Interface

• Visit project sites to collect design inputs, verify feasibility, and resolve design-related issues during project execution.
• Provide technical support to project and commissioning teams as required.
• Incorporate site feedback into future designs for optimization and reliability improvement.

6. Quality & Compliance

• Ensure adherence to relevant national/international design codes and standards (such as IS, CEMA, DIN, etc.).
• Implement internal quality checks and validation processes for all engineering outputs.
• Drive continual improvement initiatives in design methodology, tools, and templates.

7. Reporting & Communication

• Provide regular progress updates, technical status reports, and design-related feedback to the Project Head and senior management.
• Support in client presentations, technical discussions, and documentation required for approvals.

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong knowledge of bulk material handling systems, conveyors, crushers, feeders, hoppers, chutes, silos, and related utilities.
• Hands-on experience with AutoCAD / SolidWorks / Creo or other 3D design tools.
• Familiarity with material flow analysis, mechanical design calculations, and equipment selection criteria.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines under pressure.

Preferred Experience:

• Design and engineering experience in Coal Handling Systems, or similar bulk material handling applications in power or process industries.
• Exposure to EPC projects and interaction with clients, consultants, and third-party vendors.
