Site Engineer

This is a small setup out in Pathiputtur village, which is part of the Vadamalapet mandal in Chittoor. The pin code is 517551. It is very much a rural environment, so being a site engineer here is a bit different than in the big cities. We deal with a lot of farmhouse projects and small village homes. Most of the time, we are traveling on bumpy roads to get to the site. There isn't a formal office building. We usually just meet people at the post office or right at the plot where the work is happening. Life in Andhra Pradesh moves a bit slower in the villages, but the construction deadlines are still there. We have to watch the weather closely because a heavy rain can wash out a foundation trench in no time. We don't use a lot of high-tech gear, just the standard tools that get the job done right. It’s about knowing the local soil and how the wind blows across the fields. We’ve been around this part of Chittoor for a while, so we know most of the laborers and where to get the best stone. It is practical work. You get your hands dirty every day. There are no suits or ties here, just dusty trousers and a hat to keep the sun off. We just focus on getting the walls up straight and the client happy with the final result.
