Site Engineer

Things are a bit slower out here in Prakasam district. I’m a Site Engineer based in Nallaguntla, which is under the Dornal Mandal. My main point of contact is the post office here. It’s not like working in a big city with tall glass buildings. Around here, we deal with the land we have. I spend a lot of my time traveling between different villages in the mandal to check on worksites. My setup in Nallaguntla is very basic—just a table, some chairs, and my measuring tools. Most of the people I work with are local folks who’ve known me for years. We don't have fancy brochures or a front desk. I just go where the work is. Sometimes that means being out in the sun all day in Prakasam, making sure the foundations are being dug correctly. I write all my reports by hand mostly, then get them typed up if needed. Being a Site Engineer in a rural area like Dornal means you have to be resourceful. You can't always get the materials you want right away. I’ve learned to be patient. I just focus on the task at hand, whether it's a small culvert or a house. People know where to find me if they have a problem with their construction. It’s just a steady life of site visits and paperwork. I take my tea with the workers and keep an eye on the levels.
