Education Qualification

The ideal candidate will possess a formal academic qualification of Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) specialising in Civil Engineering. This foundational education is essential for understanding complex structural concepts, infrastructure design principles, and construction methodologies inherent to the role.

Further qualifications such as postgraduate degrees or professional certifications in structural engineering, project management, or related disciplines will be considered advantageous and reflective of ongoing commitment to personal and professional development.

Continuous learning and adaptation to emerging construction technologies, sustainability practices, and safety standards are encouraged to enhance competency and leadership capabilities in the construction and infrastructure domain.

General Experience

The role demands between four to eight years of progressive experience within the civil infrastructure or manufacturing engineering sector, focusing on design, project execution, and facility development.

Experience should encompass hands-on involvement in multidisciplinary projects, demonstrating the ability to manage complex engineering challenges effectively while coordinating with multiple stakeholders including design teams, contractors, and procurement specialists.

Proven track record in managing end-to-end project delivery within stipulated timelines, budgets, and quality expectations is essential. Familiarity with industry-standard software tools such as AutoCAD and project management platforms enhances the ability to contribute substantively from day one.

Exposure to manufacturing settings or industrial infrastructure development is highly valued, providing practical insights into the unique requirements of plant-based structures and process integration.

Critical Experience

• Proficiency in preparing detailed plant layouts using AutoCAD or equivalent design software, enabling precise spatial planning and efficient utilisation of manufacturing space.
• Strong project management experience including scheduling, resource allocation, risk assessment, and quality control to ensure successful execution of infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrable skills in on-site supervision and site handling, encompassing coordination of construction activities, safety compliance, and managing contractor relationships.
• Experience in equipment procurement processes, including specification development, vendor evaluation, negotiation, and integration of equipment into civil infrastructure projects to meet operational goals.

Considerable experience across these critical domains is vital to delivering value and driving infrastructure projects that underpin manufacturing excellence and sustainable facility growth.
