• Prepare and review designs, GA drawings, and fabrication drawings for monopoles, high mast poles, and other structures.
• Ensure designs meet client specifications, project requirements, and relevant standards (IS, ASTM, IEC, AISC, BS, etc.).
• Optimize designs for structural strength, weight reduction, and manufacturability.
• Review and approve detailed Bill of Materials (BOMs) and ensure accuracy for procurement and production.
- 2. Team Leadership & Resource Management
• Lead and mentor a team of design engineers and draftsmen.
• Allocate design workload and ensure timely completion of deliverables.
• Conduct technical training to enhance team capability in design tools and industry standards.
- 3. Coordination & Cross-Functional Support
• Collaborate with Sales, PPC, Procurement, and Production teams to provide design clarifications.
• Support proposal and tender teams with design inputs, drawings, and BOQs.
• Resolve design-related issues during fabrication, galvanizing, and installation stages.
- 4. Standards, Compliance & Documentation
• Ensure compliance with ISO, OSHA, and other relevant industry norms.
• Maintain engineering documentation, revision control, and design records.
• Drive standardization of designs, templates, and processes to improve efficiency.
- 5. Innovation & Continuous Improvement
• Introduce innovative design solutions to improve product performance and reduce cost.
• Evaluate and implement new design software, analysis tools, and best practices.
• Participate in R&D initiatives for new products and improved structural solutions.
