Key Responsibilities

Works closely with Survey Teams, Civil/Structural Engineers, Environmental Specialists, and Project teams to ensure technically sound, constructible, and economical line designs.

Route Alignment Development
Review & validate survey data, GIS information, LiDAR outputs and client route corridors.
Develop optimized transmission line alignments considering technical, environmental, social, constructability, and commercial constraints.
Identify route deviations, angle points, and potential risk locations.

Plan & Profile Design
Prepare Plan & Profile drawings for overhead transmission lines.
Develop horizontal alignment and longitudinal ground profiles based on survey data.
Ensure accurate representation of terrain, land features, crossings, and utilities.
Update drawings based on route revisions and stakeholder comments.
Maintain consistency between Plan & Profile drawings and structure lists.

Structure Spotting and Optimization
Perform structure spotting using PLS-CADD or equivalent tools.




Optimize tower locations considering:
Sag and tension criteria/ Ground clearance requirements/Span limitations
Tower utilization/Construction feasibility
Generate and maintain structure schedules and spotting reports

Clearance and Crossing Analysis
Verify vertical and horizontal clearances.
Evaluate crossings with:
Existing OHTLs/Roads and highways/Railways/
