Key Responsibilities

1. Design & Engineering

• Prepare and review OHE layouts, profiles, cross-sections, and technical drawings.

• Conduct route surveys, traction power studies, and feasibility assessments.

• Select OHE components such as masts, cantilevers, insulators, fittings, and conductors.

• Perform structural and mechanical calculations (SAG, tension, wind load, uplift, etc.).

• Ensure adherence to standards (IRS, RDSO, EN, IEC, IEEE or project-specific norms).

2. Installation & Execution

• Supervise erection of masts, portals, cantilevers, droppers, and registration arms.

• Ensure proper stringing of catenary and contact wires with accurate tensioning.

• Coordinate with civil, track, signaling, and power supply teams for site readiness.

• Manage subcontractors and ensure quality control during installation.

3. Testing & Commissioning

• Conduct measurements: stagger, height, uplift, electrical clearances, and contact pressure.

• Perform continuity, insulation resistance, earthing, and voltage tests.

• Prepare test reports and ensure the system is ready for energization and trial runs.

4. Safety & Compliance

• Enforce electrical and work-at-height safety protocols.

• Ensure environmental and statutory compliance for all OHE activities.

• Maintain documentation required for inspections, audits, and approvals.

5. Project Management & Coordination

• Prepare BOQs, material requirement sheets, and progress reports.

• Monitor project schedules and coordinate timely material delivery.

• Liaise with clients, consultants, and internal teams to resolve technical issues.
