State Bank Of Travancore

Working at the State Bank Of Travancore Premises Department means we spend a lot of time thinking about buildings and maintenance. Our office is the Head Office located in Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram. The zip code is 695012 if you’re looking for it. It’s a big old place with a lot of history, and you can feel that when you walk through the halls. The air in Thiruvananthapuram is usually heavy with humidity, so things can feel a bit sluggish in the afternoons. We handle all the behind-the-scenes stuff for the bank’s properties. It’s not the kind of work that gets a lot of attention, but it has to be done. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at floor plans and repair schedules. The Poojappura area is fairly busy, so there’s always something going on outside the windows. We’ve got a good group of people here who have been working together for years. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not, just a dedicated team making sure the bank’s physical spaces are kept in decent shape. Lunchtime usually involves sharing food and talking about local news or whatever is happening in the city. By the end of the day, we’re mostly just tired and ready to head home. It’s a lot of routine, but there’s something nice about knowing exactly what your job is every morning and having people around you that you know well.
