RITES Highway Engineering Recruitment 2026: Overview
RITES Limited, a Navratna central public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, is recruiting highway engineering and contract professionals on a regular basis. The work sits within RITES' transport and infrastructure consultancy portfolio and covers contract administration, highway geometry, bridge structures and design review. This is a mixed-seniority drive, so experienced civil engineers can choose the role that best matches their design or contract background.
Posts and Disciplines
- DGM Contract Specialist: a senior contract-management role for highway and expressway assignments, with emphasis on claims, dispute handling and major delivery models.
- Manager Structural Engineer Highway Design: bridge and highway-structure design work covering flyovers, underpasses and related assets, including structural assessment and rehabilitation.
- Manager Highway Design Engineer: geometric, pavement and junction design using Indian and international highway standards.
- Assistant Manager Highway Design Engineer: hands-on geometric design and drawing work, supported by civil design software.
- Assistant Manager Structural Engineer Highway Design: analysis and design support for bridge and highway structures, with responsibility for dependable calculations and drawings.
Post-wise Duties
DGM Contract Specialist
You will guide teams on EPC, HAM, BOT, annuity and item-rate contracts, review contractual risks, and support claim settlement and dispute resolution. Your work will connect project records with the correct MoRTH, bidding-document and FIDIC provisions.
Manager Structural Engineer Highway Design
You will lead the design and checking of bridges, ROBs, RUBs, flyovers and vehicle underpasses. You may also assess the health of existing structures and recommend practical rehabilitation measures.
Manager Highway Design Engineer
You will prepare and review highway alignments, pavement layouts, junctions and intersections. The role calls for careful use of IRC, AASHTO, British or other applicable standards and coordination with wider project teams.
Assistant Manager Highway Design Engineer
You will support geometric design, prepare AutoCAD Civil 3D drawings, check inputs and help senior engineers turn survey and traffic information into usable design packages.
Assistant Manager Structural Engineer Highway Design
You will assist with structural analysis, design calculations and drawings for highway structures. You will also help check design assumptions, revisions and coordination comments before deliverables are issued.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Regular appointment: these positions form part of RITES' regular workforce rather than a project-linked fixed-term engagement.
- Posting liability: selected professionals may be placed at RITES offices or project locations anywhere in India and may also be assigned abroad according to company needs.
- Role choice: the Manager and Assistant Manager tests are scheduled together, so you should select only the vacancy for which your qualification and experience fit.
- Experience assessment: RITES applies separate pay-scale or annual-CTC tests depending on whether your latest employer is in government, a PSU or the private sector.
