What the work involves
Day to day
Delivering a project - programme and sequencing, contractors and labour, materials, cost control, quality and safety, and resolving the daily collisions between drawings and site reality.
Who this suits
Fit
Organised, assertive engineers who would rather run a site than sit at a desk. India's infrastructure and real estate pipeline is large, the role pays well relative to design, and experience transfers straight into overseas project work.
The honest reality
Read this one
Site life means long hours, remote locations and living away from family for the duration of a project. You are accountable for delays caused by clients, weather, approvals and payment failures upstream. Construction safety standards in India are poor in places and you may be responsible for people working in conditions you would not choose. Payment disputes are constant and stressful.
