5 reasons to pursue a civil engineering job in Bengaluru, India
Of all of India’s market sectors, engineering is the largest—accounting for 27% of the country’s industrial factories and making up 63% of foreign partnerships. AtkinsRéalis opened its Mumbai office in 2022 with an eye for the future developments of the engineering sector in the coming years.
The thriving engineering industry in India is forecasted to grow even more in the next decade, thanks to ever-increasing market demands, high levels of foreign direct investment (FDI), and favorable budgets set out by the national government.
Industry leaders feel confident about the future of the engineering sector in India, and Bangalore is at the forefront of exciting new developments.
For qualified professionals who value opportunities to travel, culturally diverse experiences, and a career with growth potential, pursuing a civil engineering career in India is a worthwhile endeavor.
Let’s look at some of the most exciting, important reasons to consider civil engineering jobs in Bangalore.
Why consider civil engineering jobs in Bengaluru
1.Cutting edge projects
Bangalore is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world and the surrounding state of Karnataka is one of the most affluent states in India. As such, the scope and budget of civil engineering projects in Bangalore rank top of the charts, as far as the national landscape is concerned.
The city is also home to a community of highly skilled professionals—in the engineering sector, as well as AI, e-commerce, and deep tech—which makes it a melting pot of innovation.
If you’re interested in projects that push the boundaries of your industry, pursuing a civil engineering job in Bangalore with AtkinsRéalis could position you in just the right place.
2.Career growth and development
Considering the rate of growth and projections for the years to come, it’s clear that a civil engineering job in Bangalore comes with immense potential for professional development.
The city also plays host to numerous global engineering conferences, such as the World Test Engineering Summit, where professionals across the sector gather to network, learn from each other, and think tank new projects.
These frequent events mean that Bangalore offers unlimited potential for civil engineers looking to develop their professional skill set and network.
As an AtkinsRéalis employee, your career advancement is of paramount importance to us. After all, your technical competencies help us gain a competitive advantage. So we'll make sure you will enjoy opportunities for niche development at every career stage.
3.Dynamic work environment
With government funding, foreign investment, and preferential policies all working in favor of Bangalore’s growth, there are opportunities abound for professionals interested in a variety of disciplines and projects.
Architects, project managers, aeronautical engineers, AI technicians, and IT specialists are all in high demand in Bangalore—and the demand is set to become only more robust in the coming decade.
For civil engineers interested in a wide scope of projects, Bangalore promises the potential to work in a dynamic, ever-changing, interesting environment.
4.Advanced technology integration
Bangalore is home to Fortune 500 companies such as TCS, Wipro, and Infosys, alongside a landscape of numerous other domestic and international tech businesses that provide millions of jobs.
Thanks to its burgeoning technology scene and reputation as an offshoring destination for global IT companies, Bangalore has been coined “the Silicon Valley of India”.
One report by KPMG India suggests that high adoption of advanced technology is the top reason industry leaders feel confident about India’s construction trajectory.
This bodes well for the future of the city’s civil engineering scene, as great strides are being taken to adopt technologies necessary to remain relevant in such a fast-paced industry.
At AtkinsRéalis, we take pride in creating cutting-edge solutions that offer increased predictability and certainty, maximise whole-life asset value, improve commercial performance, achieve sustainability goals and help reduce our environmental impact.
5.Commitment to sustainability
At the helm of India’s technological advances are concerns for the environment; decarbonization, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and more resourceful use of materials are amongst the highest priorities in this regard. This aligns Bangalore with a global community of civil engineers working to build a greener future for the industry.
In keeping with this commitment, the city is home to its own sustainability forum which presides over matters pertaining to air quality, urban biodiversity, waste management, mobility, and water systems.
While the reality of rapidly expanding cities like Bangalore sometimes leaves something to be desired in terms of sustainability, the city’s positive climate change actions certainly represent a step in the right direction.
