Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking a highly skilled Tunnel Design Expert to join our major railway project based in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The successful candidate must hold a Master’s Degree (M.E. / M.Tech) in a relevant civil engineering discipline and possess a minimum of 8 years of experience in underground engineering. The role involves leading or independently reviewing detailed engineering designs, alignment plans, and structural components for railway tunnels, requiring deep technical proficiency in tunnel construction methodologies (such as NATM), rock mechanics, and geotechnical assessment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Review: Undertake comprehensive technical reviews of detailed tunnel designs, checking construction calculations, rock support systems, shotcrete, rock bolts, steel ribs, and lattice girders.
• Geotechnical & Structural Integrity: Interpret complex geological and geotechnical reports to assess ground parameters, excavation sequences, and structural lining stability.
• Alignment & Profiling: Review and optimize the rail alignment plan, profiles, cross-sections, and clearances inside tunnel structures.
• Quality & Safety Assurance: Ensure that all drawings, methodologies, and engineering calculations fully comply with Indian Railways Codes (IRWM / IRCM), international engineering standards, QA/QC requirements, and strict HSE practices.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate seamlessly with client representatives (Indian Railways/RVNL/Metro authorities), general consultants, proof consultants, and on-site execution teams to resolve structural or design deficiencies quickly.
• Risk Assessment: Perform rigorous engineering risk assessments for underground works, ground control, water ingress, and slope stabilization at tunnel portals.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Master's degree (M.E. / M.Tech) in Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Tunnel Engineering is mandatory. Candidates holding only a Bachelor's degree will not be considered.
• Experience: Minimum of 8 years of core experience in the design, engineering, or design proof review of underground tunnels.
• Sector Background: Proven track record of working on large-scale infrastructure projects—ideally Railway or Metro rail tunnel projects.
• Technical Software: High proficiency in design and analysis software such as STAAD.Pro, AutoCAD, PLAXIS (2D/3D), or Rocscience suite (Dips, Slide2).
• Domain Knowledge: Expert knowledge of New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) principles, groundwater control, grouting, and tunnel waterproofing systems.
