I am founder- Director of three companies which are into MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing), Systems Integration and Software. Currently we have a labour force of around 500 people and majority of our projects are in south India, some sub-contracted from companies like Voltas, Bluestar, Fujitsu et.al. We are working on projects in Tirunelveli for Tata Power, Ola’s plant in Pochampalli, TVS plant in Hosur, IISC Bengaluru, CMRL, BMRCL etc etc. My company and the big ones that I just mentioned are all searching for good mechanical and production engineers. There are hundreds of vacancies that I know. None of us are able to find suitable candidates because of one simple reason. These engineers will have to slog. Slog in heat and dust. The work is challenging, exciting and you will have to use your brains to innovate and manage daily. |
Humbly agree. You are way closer to the action than most engineers will ever be.
Infact, I resonate with all of this personally. I worked at Tata Motors CVBU (Pimpri) when I was around 19, with the production team (including IITians) on the assembly line. But all the young blood were in their fancy design department, and the ones I worked with on the floor were the type who'd been working there for decades, and probably still are, if not retired from TML.
I did dread the assembly line discomfort (coming from a modern air conditioned college campus) and walking in the hot sun, comparing notes of the production crew across the vast campus. While I loved my work, I was envious of the comfort the design guys got - working out of their elite EDC building - churning out Xenon and Aria back in those years. They had the luxuries of life, relatively speaking.
Maybe that's why I'm here, on this thread, subconsciously recommending design as a possibile stream of education to OP, influenced by some minor roughness from my early career ![Cold Sweat](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/coldsweat.png) |
