Key Responsibilities Railway Formation & Earthworks (Cutting & Filling):Oversee bulk earthworks, deep rock and soil excavation, embankment construction, and high-standard compaction for railway alignments and road networks. Supervise trackbed preparation, including capping layers, sub-ballast placement, and formation level treatments per railway specifications. Manage slope stability, cut-slope protection (rockfall netting, shotcrete, berms), and cut-and-fill volume balancing (Mass Haul). Road Construction & Paving:Supervise the execution of road subgrade, aggregate base courses (ABC), asphalt binder, and wearing courses. Oversee the construction of access roads, level crossings, railway service roads, kerbstones, and road safety furniture. Railway Safety & SAR Procedures:Enforce strict railway safety measures and obtain work permits for operations within or adjacent to the Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) Right-of-Way (ROW).
