- Experience: 5+ years of hands‑on experience in highway construction, flexible/rigid pavement execution, or heavy infrastructure projects. (Must)
- Instrumentation & Software: High proficiency in operating Total Station, Auto-Level, AutoCAD, and MS Office (Excel for measurement sheets).
- Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of pavement layer depth calculations, compaction mechanics, concrete mix behavior, and aggregate gradations.
- Site Management: Proven ability to manage subcontractors, resolve field challenges, and coordinate heavy machinery operations (graders, rollers, slipform pavers).
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Highway & Pavement Engineer to lead on‑site execution, material quality control, and field operations for major highway, pavement, and municipal infrastructure projects. The ideal candidate will possess a strong mix of technical civil engineering knowledge, hands‑on survey capabilities, and subcontractor billing management skills to ensure timely delivery and strict compliance with alignment and structural standards.
Key Responsibilities
- 1. Site Execution & Technical Supervision
- Supervise day-to-day operations for flexible and rigid pavement construction, including granular layers (WBM/WMM), bituminous macadam, and paver block installations.
- Oversee slipform paving operations, groove cutting schedules, and joint sealing for concrete road stretches.
- Conduct precise structural and alignment surveys using Total Stations, auto-levels, and digital measuring tools to ensure strict adherence to design profiles and grades.
- 2. Quality Assurance & Material Optimization
- Coordinate with batching plants and aggregate crushers to monitor mix designs, volumetric properties, and material gradations (aggregates, crush sand, and superplasticizer admixtures).
- Conduct field quality tests including compaction factors, field density tests, trial cube casting, and slump tests.
- Ensure compliance with MoRTH, IRC, and municipal development standards across all structural and paving layers.
- 3. Subcontractor Management & Billing
- Track section measurements, calculate area coverage, and verify daily progress sheets for specialized labor crews (paver block fitting, formwork, and groove cutting).
- Prepare, verify, and process subcontractor running account (R.A.) bills and measurement books (MB) in alignment with site execution schedules.
- Manage labor gang mobilization and resource allocation across multiple active road work zones and retaining/drainage structures.
- 4. Project Planning & Quantity Surveying
- Perform quantity estimations, material consumption tracking, and density verification to control wastage and project yield.
- Maintain daily site logs, structural measurement sheets, and lift‑by‑lift execution records.
- Work closely with project leadership to align site delivery with broader company financial and completion timelines.
