Job description

Role & responsibilities

Senior / Lead Enabling Structure Design Engineer (Coastal Road Project)

Position Title: Senior / Lead Enabling Structure Design Engineer
Project: Mumbai Coastal Road Project
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Experience Level: 10 to 15 years

Job Summary

The Senior / Lead Enabling Structure Design Engineer will spearhead the analysis, design, validation, and approval of all temporary and enabling structures required for the Mumbai Coastal Road Project. This senior role requires an expert capable of leading a engineering team to deliver safe, compliant, and cost-effective temporary engineering solutions. The responsibilities encompass complex systems such as large-scale cofferdams, marine access jetties, heavy casting yard layouts, and specialized staging systems designed to withstand Mumbais severe marine conditions and tidal variations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the engineering team responsible for designing temporary structures, including heavy shoring, complex cofferdams, guiding walls, and marine access platforms.
• Review, validate, and officially sign off on engineering calculations, finite element models, and structural drawings before submission to clients and project management consultants.
• Develop innovative structural solutions for heavy civil formwork, falsework, and high-capacity launching gantries for marine viaducts and bridge segments.
• Oversee structural analysis under extreme static, dynamic, seismic, wave, and tidal loads, ensuring absolute structural safety in a marine environment.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for geotechnical data interpretation, directing the design of temporary high-capacity pile foundations and anchoring systems.
• Mitigate engineering risks by conducting rigorous independent peer reviews of third-party designs and executing real-time structural modifications due to unexpected site conditions.
• Coordinate directly with site project directors, execution heads, and client representatives to align engineering designs with construction methodologies and schedules.
• Ensure all engineering outputs strictly comply with Indian Roads Congress codes (IRC), Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), and relevant international maritime engineering standards.
• Mentor junior and mid-level design engineers, fostering technical growth and maintaining high standards of quality assurance within the design department.

Preferred candidate profile

Qualifications and Requirements

• Education: Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering. A Master's degree or PhD in Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Ocean/Marine Structures is highly preferred.
• Experience: 10 to 15 years of core structural design experience, with at least 5 years leading design teams for mega-infrastructure projects such as sea links, major coastal highways, ports, or large-scale marine bridges.
• Technical Skills: Mastery of advanced structural analysis and finite element software like STAAD.Pro, Midas Civil, and PLAXIS. High proficiency in AutoCAD and BIM workflows is expected.
• Domain Knowledge: Expert-level command over marine engineering mechanics, coastal soil-structure interaction, tidal variations, and wave load calculations.
• Competencies: Proven leadership capabilities, exceptional risk management skills, and strong communication skills necessary to negotiate and present technical solutions to government stakeholders and project consultants.
