Senior Manager - Structural Design

Dear Candidate

Greetings from KCC Buildcon Group!

We are hiring a Bridge Design / Structural Design Engineering professional for our corporate Office.

• Position: Senior Manager / Assistant general manager (Structural Design)
• Functional expertise: Bridge Structural Design / Major & Important Bridges
• Industry: Infrastructure / Highways / Bridges / EPC / Transportation
• Qualification: B. Tech / B.E. in Civil Engineering from a recognized university / institution.
• Preferred: M. Tech / M.E. in Structural Engineering / Bridge Engineering.
• Experience: Min.12 yrs of relevant experience in structural/bridge design, with substantial experience in the design and engineering of Major Bridges and Important Bridges for highway, expressway, railway, or other large-scale infrastructure projects.

The role requires strong technical expertise in bridge structural analysis, design, detailing, design review, constructability, seismic and wind considerations, foundation systems, and construction-stage engineering, along with the ability to coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, design consultants, contractors, and project authorities.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bridge Structural Design

• Lead structural design activities for Major Bridges, Important Bridges, Viaducts, Flyovers, ROBs/RUBs, elevated corridors, and complex bridge structures.

• Develop and review concept, preliminary, detailed and construction-stage structural designs.

• Design and review bridge components including:

• Deck slabs and superstructures

• PSC/RCC/steel girders

• Box girders and segmental bridges

• Piers, pier caps and abutments

• Foundations, pile foundations and pile caps

• Bearings and expansion joints

• Retaining and approach structures

• Wing walls and return walls

• Temporary and construction-stage structures

• Evaluate alternative structural systems considering safety, durability, constructability, construction methodology, time and cost optimization.

2. Structural Analysis & Engineering

• Review and undertake structural analysis for bridge structures subjected to:

• Dead and live loads

• Impact and braking forces

• Wind loads

• Seismic forces

• Temperature and shrinkage effects

• Creep and shrinkage

• Earth pressure

• Water/current forces, where applicable

• Construction-stage and erection loads

• Other project-specific loading conditions

• Review structural modelling, load combinations, design parameters, analysis results, and design assumptions.

• Conduct/review global and local structural analysis as required for complex bridge structures.

• Review serviceability, strength, stability, fatigue, durability, and ultimate limit-state requirements.

3. Major & Important Bridge Design

• Demonstrated experience in the design of long-span, high-level, major river bridges and other technically complex bridge structures will be preferred.

• Experience with bridges involving deep foundations, difficult geotechnical conditions, high seismic zones, waterways, navigational requirements, or challenging construction conditions will be an advantage.

• Review structural concepts for different bridge construction methods such as:

• Cast-in-situ construction

• Precast/segmental construction

• Precast prestressed girders

• Incremental launching

• Balanced cantilever construction

• Span-by-span construction

• Steel/composite bridge erection

• Coordinate structural design with the proposed construction methodology and erection sequence.

4. Foundation & Substructure Engineering

• Review design of bridge foundations considering geotechnical investigation, soil parameters, scour, seismic effects, settlement, lateral loads, and foundation capacity.
• Review pile, pile-cap, open/well/other foundation systems as applicable to the project.
• Coordinate with geotechnical and hydrology experts for foundation and river-crossing design.
• Review scour protection and foundation safety for bridges across rivers and water bodies.

5. Design Codes & Standards

• Ensure bridge designs comply with applicable Indian Standards, IRC codes, MoRTH specifications, relevant IS codes, project specifications, and authority requirements.
• Working knowledge of applicable international standards such as AASHTO, Eurocodes, BS/EN or other project-specific standards will be an advantage.
• Maintain awareness of revisions and updates to relevant bridge design standards and specifications.

6. Drawings & Detailing

• Review and approve structural drawings, reinforcement detailing, bar bending schedules, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, and construction details.
• Ensure design drawings are clear, coordinated, constructible, and consistent with design calculations.
• Review design deliverables prepared by internal teams and external structural consultants.

7. Design Review & Consultant Management

• Lead technical review of structural designs submitted by design consultants, EPC contractors, and specialist agencies.
• Check structural calculations, design reports, drawings, specifications, and technical submissions.
• Coordinate with consultants for timely resolution of design comments, RFIs, technical queries, and design changes.
• Monitor design deliverables, quality, schedule, and compliance with project requirements.
• Participate in technical/design review meetings with the Client, Authority, Independent Engineer, PMC, contractors, and consultants.

8. Construction Support

• Provide technical support to site teams during bridge construction.
• Resolve structural issues arising during execution and provide technically sound solutions.
• Review proposed construction changes, temporary works, erection schemes, and method statements from a structural perspective.
• Support investigation and resolution of site deviations, structural defects, construction constraints, and unforeseen conditions.
• Ensure that construction activities remain consistent with approved structural designs.

9. Value Engineering & Optimization

• Identify opportunities for structural optimization, material savings, constructability improvement, and reduction in construction time without compromising safety, durability, or performance.
• Evaluate alternative bridge configurations, spans, foundation systems, construction methods, and materials.
• Provide technical inputs for cost optimization and lifecycle considerations.

Software Skills: Strong working knowledge of STAAD. Pro or relevant structural engineering software.

Candidates should preferably have experience in:

• Major and Important Highway Bridges
• Major River Bridges
• Long-span Bridges
• PSC / RCC Bridges
• Steel and Composite Bridges
• Segmental Bridges
• Flyovers and Viaducts
• Elevated Highway Corridors
• ROBs/RUBs
• Bridges in Seismic Zones
• Bridges with deep foundations
• Bridges involving complex construction/erection methodologies
• Large-scale Highway / Expressway / EPC projects
