Site supervisor / CAD technician
₹2.5–8 LPA
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically Diploma in Engineering (Polytechnic).
What the work involves
Day to day
Supporting delivery from the technical end - preparing and revising drawings, taking measurements, checking work against specification, and coordinating labour and materials on site day to day.
Who this suits
Fit
Diploma holders and ITI-trained technicians who want to enter construction immediately. Hiring is steady and not exam-gated, and site experience gained here is exactly what makes later progression to supervisor or contractor possible.
The honest reality
Read this one
Pay at entry is low and the ceiling stays low without upgrading the qualification - lateral entry to a diploma or degree is the usual escape. Site conditions are hot, dusty and long-houred. Contractor employment is often informal, with weak job security and irregular payment. You take instructions from engineers and pressure from both directions.
