- Plumbing and pollution control systems
- End-to-end MEP infrastructure
4. Vendor, OEM & Audit Management
- Partner with OEM suppliers, external vendors, and auditors to:
- Customize solutions aligned with DPI requirements
- Ensure best-in-class quality standards
- Achieve optimal commercial outcomes at scale
- Build and sustain strategic, long-term vendor partnerships.
5. Metrics, Governance & Operating Rigor
- Define and implement clear engineering and operating metrics for project and operations teams.
- Establish strong governance frameworks for quality assurance, compliance, and audit readiness.
- Drive continuous improvement through data-driven insights and performance tracking.
6. Digital & Future-Ready Thinking
- Champion a digital-first, modern engineering approach across project lifecycles.
- Leverage technology for:
- Project dashboards and MIS
- Cost and timeline optimization
- Asset lifecycle and predictive maintenance
- Continuously evaluate emerging technologies, materials, and construction practices relevant to large-scale retail and QSR infrastructure.
Leadership & People Management
- Lead, develop, and mentor large, geographically distributed teams across India.
