The principal responsibilities essentially includes -
- Act as the overall technical authority for Transmission Line (TL) engineering, responsible for defining, governing and approving all technical aspects of transmission line projects across the complete project lifecycle.
- Establish, implement and maintain the Transmission Line Design Basis, engineering philosophies, calculation methodologies and standard practices, ensuring alignment with national and international standards, regulations and client-specific technical requirements.
- Provide technical leadership for route alignment and survey interface, including review and validation of topographical surveys, longitudinal profiles and plan drawings, ensuring routing decisions adequately address electrical clearances, ROW constraints, environmental considerations, access, constructability and lifecycle risks.
- Govern the electrical design of transmission lines, including selection and approval of conductors, ground wire / OPGW, phase configuration, insulation strings and geometry,



and ensuring sag–tension philosophy adequately considers temperature effects, creep behaviour and code-mandated reliability conditions.
- Lead and approve PLS-CADD based tower spotting and span optimisation, ensuring appropriate tower type selection, sectioning philosophy and angle distribution, while balancing structural safety, foundation feasibility, constructability and overall project cost optimisation.
- Define and approve tower structural design criteria, including reliability levels, governing load cases and load combinations covering normal, maximum wind, minimum temperature, broken wire (phase-wise and ground wire), angle deviation and security conditions.
- Review and approve tower structural analysis and design outputs, including results from PLS-Tower, PLS-Pole or equivalent tools, member sizing, slenderness checks, utilisation ratios, connection philosophy and detailing approach, ensuring readiness for prototype tower te
