Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Project Manager with proven expertise in large-scale civil infrastructure projects, particularly embankment strengthening, flood protection works, and blacktopping of long-length embankments. The candidate will be responsible for end-to-end project planning, execution, monitoring, and stakeholder management, ensuring strict adherence to BIS codes, hydrological study recommendations, and government compliance standards.

This role requires technical leadership, resource optimization, and on-ground supervision of multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-quality, durable infrastructure in challenging flood-prone environments.

Key Responsibilities

Project Planning & Execution

- Develop, review, and implement Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), BOQs, rate analysis, and cost estimates.

- Plan, schedule, and execute embankment raising, strengthening, and blacktopping as per BIS codes and High Flood Level (HFL) benchmarks.

- Ensure compliance with hydraulic and hydrological study findings for flood management and river training measures.

- Monitor project progress using project management tools (MS Project/Primavera/ERP systems) and ensure timely delivery.

Technical Supervision & Quality Assurance

- Supervise execution of earthwork operations (filling, compaction, borrow pit management) across large-scale projects (2080 km embankments).

- Oversee technical works including stone revetment, geo-textile laying, pitching, aprons, and spurs.

- Ensure blacktopping/bituminous road works meet MoRTH and IRC specifications.

- Implement strict Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols including laboratory and field testing for materials (soil, aggregates, bitumen, geo-textiles).

- Enforce compliance with ISO standards, safety protocols, and environmental regulations.

Stakeholder & Coordination

- Act as the primary liaison with Water Resources Department (WRD), Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), NHAI, consultants, and funding agencies.

- Engage with local communities for land use, flood-prone area access, and socio-environmental considerations.

- Prepare and present progress reports, compliance documentation, and technical presentations for government and regulatory bodies.

Team & Resource Management

- Lead multi-disciplinary teams including civil engineers, hydrologists, surveyors, QA/QC engineers, and contractors.

- Ensure optimal utilization of manpower, heavy machinery (excavators, compactors, pavers), and construction materials.

- Monitor contractor/vendor performance, ensuring timely procurement and supply chain efficiency.

- Uphold workplace safety standards, risk assessments, and environmental safeguards during project execution.

Required Skills & Competencies

- Strong technical expertise in hydraulic structures, embankments, flood protection, and blacktopping works.

- Proficiency in AutoCAD, STAAD Pro (preferred), MS Project/Primavera, and project cost control tools.

- In-depth knowledge of BIS codes, MoRTH guidelines, IRC specifications, and flood management standards.

- Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in dynamic project environments.

- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, especially with government agencies.

Qualifications

- Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering (mandatory).

- Masters in Water Resources / Structural / Geotechnical Engineering (preferred).

- PMP / PRINCE2 / IPMA certification (preferred).

- Minimum 8 - 15 years of experience in project management of large-scale infrastructure/water resource projects.
