Site Engineer

Our base is at No.109 in Hormavu Agara, which falls under the Kalyan Nagar post in Bangalore-43. I work as a site engineer, which mostly means I’m the guy wearing a helmet and dusty shoes all day. I don’t really do the corporate office thing. My workplace is usually a pile of bricks or a half-finished floor. I’ve been in this part of Bangalore for a while now, watching the area grow. There are always new layouts being marked out and foundations being dug. My role is to make sure the contractors are following the structural drawings. I spend a lot of time arguing about the quality of the sand or how much water is going into the mix. It’s not always fun, but it’s necessary if you want a building to stay up. The address in Hormavu Agara is where I handle the administrative stuff and meet with clients to show them the progress photos. I try to keep things down to earth. I don’t use a lot of technical jargon unless I’m talking to another engineer. To most people, I just explain what needs to be done and why it’s taking that much time. Building a house or an apartment is a big deal for anyone, and I take that seriously. I just focus on the day-to-day progress, making sure the work keeps moving and the quality doesn't drop when I’m not looking.
