Roles &

Responsibilities: Lead end-to-end structural design and engineering for GFB across all product verticals — data centres, multi-storey steel structures, railway girders & bridges, telecom towers, transmission line towers, and solar module mounting structures. Own structural analysis, connection design, drawing production, and BOM release using STAAD.Pro / ETABS / SAP2000 for analysis and Tekla Structures / AutoCAD for detailing and BIM. Ensure full code compliance across all designs — IS 800, IS 875, IS 1893, IS 802, IRS Steel Bridge Code, TIA-222, RDSO, and PGCIL specifications — and be the final technical sign-off authority for all engineering outputs. Manage customer drawing submissions, comment resolution, and approval cycles; interface with third-party inspection agencies (Lloyds, BV, TUV) and statutory bodies for design certification and drawing approvals. Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and steel weight optimisation on all projects — reducing shop-floor rework, improving fabrication efficiency, and enhancing project margins. Support BD and commercial teams with pre-bid engineering — structural scheme design, weight estimation, material take-offs (MTO), value engineering, and technical write-ups for proposals and pre-qualification submissions. Coordinate with the Plant and Production teams to resolve fabrication queries, NCRs, and design deviations on the shop floor; ensure all drawings released are fabrication-ready with complete weld symbols, fit-up sequences, and inspection

requirements. Establish and enforce engineering standards — calculation formats, drawing standards, multi-level checking workflows, document control, and KPIs including drawing release TAT, revision rate, and engineering hours per tonne. Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of 10–15 structural engineers and detailers with clear KRAs, structured performance reviews, and ongoing capability development across new codes, tools, and product categories.
