Project Engineer In Airtel Broadband And Telephone Services

This is the office of the Project Engineer handling Airtel Broadband and Telephone Services up here in The Nilgiris. You can find us at School Junction in Erumad, near Konnachal. Working in the hills is a lot different than working in the plains. The terrain makes laying cables and setting up towers a real challenge for us. We have to deal with steep slopes and thick trees and narrow roads all the time. S/O K. Kumaran is usually the one overseeing things around here. We don't have a big corporate team; it’s just a few of us making sure the lines stay clear and the internet keeps working for the local folks. When there’s a storm, we’re usually the ones out there in the rain trying to find where a tree fell on a wire or where the signal got cut. It’s not a desk job most of the time. We know how important it is for people in these remote areas to stay connected, so we don't take it lightly. We don't use any fancy marketing talk about "connectivity" or "networks." We just fix the line when it breaks. The office is small and tucked away, but it’s where we coordinate everything and keep our tools. We’ve been doing this for a while and we know the landscape of Erumad like the back of our hands. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it to keep the phones ringing.
