Minimum Qualification


GRADUATE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

1. Operations Planning & Coordination

Oversee TBM procurement, assembly, commissioning, and launch sequences. Develop daily and weekly work plans, coordinating with civil, mechanical, electrical, slurry, and survey teams. Liaise with subcontractors, OEMs, geotechnical experts, and project engineers.

2.

Technical Oversight

Monitor all TBM components: cutter head, main drive, slurry pumps, screw conveyors, segment erector, gantries. Ensure cutter head interventions in hyperbaric and standard conditions. Supervise slurry circuit--pressure, flow, pipelines, mucking--and manage surface slurry treatment.

3.

Performance & Maintenance

Implement preventive and corrective maintenance regimes to maximize TBM uptime. Maintain critical spares, consumables, and liaise with OEM support for troubleshooting. Track KPIs: advance rate, downtime, slurry consumption, cutter wear.

4.

Safety & Quality Compliance

Enforce safety protocols (e.g., lockout/tagout, confined space, slurry pressure safety). Conduct regular safety inspections, toolbox talks; handle emergencies and evacuations. Ensure excavation quality--for cutter alignment, over-excavation control, slurry pressure--to protect tunnel face integrity.

5.

Team Leadership & Training

Manage, mentor, and supervise multidisciplinary crews including engineers, foremen, pump/electric/mechanical operators. Recruit and train TBM team members; supervise performance, coordinate tasks, and ensure efficiency.

6.

Reporting & Documentation

Maintain daily logs: progress, breakdowns, maintenance, safety incidents, slurry metrics. * Prepare weekly summaries, technical evaluations, deviation notices, and liaise with senior management.
