Job Description:

General Manager- Lead Structural Design Engineer

Gurgaon

Your Job Functions

As a Lead Structural Design Engineer for our Hydropower Product, you will be responsible for leading the structural design, analysis, review, and delivery of complex hydropower and water infrastructure projects. You will provide technical leadership to project teams, ensure quality and compliance of engineering deliverables, mentor engineers, and coordinate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to deliver safe, sustainable, and cost-effective structural solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Structural Design & Analysis:

• Lead Structural Design Activities: Lead the design and review of structures such as dams, barrages, spillways, intakes, surge shafts, powerhouses, machine foundations, hydraulic tunnels, and other facilities specific to hydropower projects.
• Load Analysis: Oversee and perform detailed structural analyses considering water pressure, seismic activity, crane loads, wind loads, thermal effects, construction loads, and other operational conditions.
• Material Selection: Provide guidance on the selection of appropriate construction materials (concrete, steel, and composite materials) based on project requirements, durability, cost, and environmental conditions.
• Structural Stability: Ensure the stability, safety, strength, serviceability, and long-term durability of structures under normal and extreme loading conditions, including floods and earthquakes.
• Design Review & Verification: Review and approve structural calculations, design reports, drawings, and engineering documents prepared by team members.

2. Technical Evaluation & Review:

• Lead and perform structural analysis, modelling, and design of hydropower infrastructure, including dams, spillways, penstocks, intake structures, surge shafts, tunnels, and powerhouses.
• Guide the development and review of finite element analysis (FEA) models and advanced structural simulations.
• Conduct and review seismic, hydrodynamic, dynamic, and soil-structure interaction analyses to evaluate structural performance and safety.
• Ensure compliance with relevant international codes, client specifications, and project standards.
• Participate in technical reviews, value engineering studies, risk assessments, and design optimization initiatives.

3. Hydropower Projects:

• Lead the design of foundation systems considering geotechnical parameters and soil-structure interaction effects.
• Assess and review the structural integrity of hydraulic structures, including tunnels, surge shafts, gates, and water-retaining structures.
• Coordinate closely with hydrologists, hydraulic engineers, geotechnical engineers, BIM teams, and other disciplines to achieve integrated engineering solutions.
• Provide technical support during project execution, construction, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities.
• Ensure compliance with environmental, health & safety, and regulatory requirements throughout project delivery.
• Support proposal development and provide technical inputs for bids and tenders.

4. Team Leadership, Reporting & Documentation:

• Lead, mentor, and provide technical guidance to structural engineers and designers within the Hydropower Product team.
• Allocate and monitor engineering tasks to ensure timely and quality delivery of project milestones.
• Prepare, review, and approve technical reports, structural calculations, design basis reports, methodologies, and design justifications.
• Conduct technical presentations and represent the structural discipline in meetings with clients, contractors, consultants, and government agencies.
• Promote knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and engineering best practices across the team.

Your Profile

• You hold a Master's Degree in Structural Engineering from a reputed institute with a minimum of 12 to 18 years of professional experience.
• Proven experience leading structural design and engineering activities for hydropower and water infrastructure projects.
• Proficiency in structural design software such as STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, ANSYS, Abaqus, ETABS, and MIDAS.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, BIM tools, and GIS applications.
• Strong understanding of concrete, steel, and composite material behaviour.
• Experience with numerical modelling for dynamic, hydrodynamic, seismic, and soil-structure interaction analyses.
• Working knowledge of international design codes and standards applicable to hydropower and hydraulic structures.
• Experience in mentoring engineering teams and coordinating multidisciplinary project stakeholders.

Special Attributes

• Strong leadership and team management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to prepare, review, and present technical reports and engineering documentation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to work independently while leading multidisciplinary teams.
• Effective stakeholder management and client-facing communication skills.
• Commitment to quality, safety, innovation, and continuous improvement.
