We are seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented engineer to support the execution of multiple ongoing projects across our company.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Understand overall project objectives and convert them into a clear, step-by-step execution plan
  • Break down projects into tasks and sub-tasks, identify dependencies (serial vs parallel), and prepare project timelines
  • Develop specifications in consultation with internal and external experts for various elements of the project
  • Estimate costs for each task and prepare a task-wise budget
  • Identify and shortlist competent vendors and help management negotiate competitive rates with them.
  • Develop and maintain project schedules using spreadsheets or basic project planning tools
  • Based on cash flow and vendor payment terms, work out a funding requirement plan for the duration of the project
  • Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and internal teams to execute tasks as per plan
  • Track progress, flag delays or risks, and take proactive follow-up actions
  • Periodically report project status, cost, and timelines to management
  • Maintain organized documentation for each project phase

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Education: Degree/Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Industrial Engineering (or related)
  • Experience: 2–5 years in a project execution/planning role, preferably in manufacturing, construction, industrial setup, or capital equipment deployment
  • Strong analytical and organizational skills – able to break down complex projects into manageable steps
  • Comfortable working with Excel or project management tools to track schedules and budgets
  • Exposure to vendor or contractor coordination and practical site execution is a plus
  • Good written and verbal communication skills for reporting and follow-ups
  • Self-driven, structured, and reliable

Preferred Skills (not mandatory):

  • Familiarity with tools like MS Project, Trello, or Gantt chart-based scheduling
  • Understanding of basic budgeting or financial planning principles
  • Prior experience working with cross-functional teams
