Context

Systra India's design business line is the leading design team for metros, highways, special bridges, Urban Planning and water projects in India. The team has designed over 900 kms of viaduct & Bridges along with 43 kms of tunnels and 82 underground stations, 345 Elevated & at-grade Stations, 19 Depots besides 300 plus stations being designed currently. The team has also completed 3,165 km of highways detail design projects and 22,506 km of design / feasibility projects. The team has also worked on detailed design for Drainage and Utilities, design of WTP and STP etc.

We are also very proud to have designed the first monopile in India for the Mumbai Coastal Road project. We have the distinction of designing the fastest implemented metro project in the country with Lucknow and now have broken the record in Kanpur Metro. Apart from Indian projects the team also provides design services to projects as far as Philippines in the east to Columbia in the West.

We are also conversant with BIM (Building Information Modelling) which enhances all stages of the infrastructure life cycle, from design to construction and maintenance, which is why we integrate it into our projects and offer it to our clients. Our design team has extensive exposure to both domestic and international markets, contracts, codes and specification.

Missions / Main Duties

• Lead the collection, compilation, processing, and management of geospatial data from diverse sources, including satellite imagery, surveys, governmental databases, and field data, ensuring high accuracy and integrity for urban planning applications.
• Perform advanced spatial analyses (e.g., buffer-overlay, suitability modelling, accessibility analysis, and change detection, Land Suitability) to support urban infill development, redevelopment planning, master / zonal plans, and infrastructure feasibility studies.
• Develop and maintain GIS databases, models, and dashboards using tools like ArcGIS, QGIS, and Spatial Analyst to visualize land use patterns, environmental impacts, and urban growth scenarios.
• Collaborate with urban planners, transport engineers, and stakeholders to integrate GIS outputs into project proposals, reports, and presentations, providing visualizations for placemaking, public realm enhancements, and sustainability assessments.
• Mentor junior GIS team members, conduct quality assurance on deliverables, and optimize workflows for efficiency in multi-phase projects.
• Conduct environmental and risk assessments using GIS for urban projects, including flood modelling, green space planning, and transport corridor optimization.
• Prepare technical reports, thematic maps, and 3D visualizations to communicate findings to clients, authorities, and internal teams.
• Ensure compliance with Indian regulations (e.g., town planning acts, environmental clearances) and international best practices in geospatial data handling.
