The Design Engineer shall review and coordinate all civil & structural design documents and drawings, ensuring seamless integration with other disciplines such as Electrical, Mechanical, Geotechnical, and Survey teams.
The role requires working closely with a team of draftsmen to deliver engineering outputs within budget, on schedule, and with high engineering quality.
Key Responsibilities
• Allocation of work to Draftsmen and monitoring deliverables
• Analysis, design, and detailing of Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) foundations (gravity, piled, rock-anchored, hybrid foundations as applicable)
• Design and detailing of crane hardstands, access roads, internal roads, culverts, drainage systems, and platforms
• Design and detailing of control room buildings, substation buildings, and auxiliary RCC/steel structures
• Design and detailing of equipment foundations (transformers, GIS/AIS equipment, HT panels, outdoor structures)
• Review of geotechnical investigation reports and incorporation into foundation design
• Preparation and submission of design calculations, drawings, and documents for client/consultant approval
• Awareness and application of Indian and International design standards relevant to wind projects
• Coordination with Site Execution Teams and Clients to resolve design and constructability issues
• Checking BOQs and material quantities with reference to previous wind projects
• Preparation of DBR (Design Basis Report) and scope of work for Project Engineering
• Interaction with Clients for drawing approvals and technical clarifications
• Interaction with Site Teams for resolving drawing-related queries
• Interaction with SCM for vendor queries, technical clarifications, and material approvals
• Review of Vendor Engineering Documents related to civil & structural works
• Site visits as and when required to support engineering and resolve field issues
