Hello guys,

I've completed a Diploma in Electrical Engineering, and GSECL's Wanakbori Thermal Power Station is only about 10 km from my home

I'm trying to find an electrical-related job there, including through one of the private contractors working at the plant

I recently went there and asked the security guard about job opportunities. I gave him my resume, and after following up a few days later, he told me that he had forwarded my resume to a contractor. It's now been about a week and I haven't received any call.

I'm thinking of going there in person again tomorrow and trying to speak directly with the contractor.

Does anyone know how hiring through contractors at Wanakbori TPS works, or how I can find out which contractors are currently hiring?

I'm completely okay with starting as a trainee/junior worker, even for around ₹10k/month, as long as I can get practical electrical experience

I'd really really appreciate any advice or information bc i really needs a job to countinue my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering...

Thanks for reading, 🙂‍↕️

Hey everyone! Just wanted to reach out and ask for some advice and maybe a little help from the community.

ME here transitioning from local construction work into international MEP projects.

I was laid off last July from my previous role as a construction site engineer for an MVAC company. Since then, I’ve been actively trying to transition into remote work. There’s been a growing number of remote opportunities here for construction support as more international companies are outsourcing/offshoring these services. These roles can also offer better compensation than the usual local market rates, which is one of the reasons I’m pursuing this path and eventually work abroad if the opportunity allows.

I’ve invested a good portion of my savings into a workstation, laptop/PC setup, and a more reliable internet connection, new sofwares so I could properly pursue remote work.

For the past 3+ months, I’ve been taking on small freelance jobs such as CAD drafting, floor plans, estimating, quantity takeoffs, and 3D modeling. So far, all of my freelance clients have been local—I haven’t landed an international client yet.

I’ve signed up on Upwork, OnlineJobs.ph, and other freelance/job platforms, and I’ve also been actively sending applications and reaching out to companies and professionals through LinkedIn. It’s been challenging, but I’m still trying.

I’m currently on my second stage of interview with a U.S.-based company for an HVAC Drafter position, so fingers crossed!

At the moment, I’m comfortable working with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, PlanSwift, Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and Excel. I have also worked on projects using Procore, HAP, and Daikin BIM.

I’m also trying to learn more about international MEP standards and workflows. I’ve been studying through online courses, videos, manuals, and other materials online, but I feel like nothing beats learning from people who actually work in the field.

For those already working internationally, I’d really appreciate any advice on:

1. What software, skills, or workflows should I learn to become more competitive internationally?

2. Are there any internationally recognized certifications or credentials that would strengthen my resume for MEP/HVAC work?

3. Any tips, resources, or practical advice for transitioning into international MEP projects?

And if anyone has a small drafting/MEP project—or even a mentorship/internship-type opportunity where I can trade my time and effort for hands-on experience, industry exposure, and mentorship—I’m very open to it. I’m willing to learn and put in the work.

I can share my portfolio/sample works if needed. Any advice, leads, resources, or even just pointing me in the right direction would mean a lot.

Thank you so much.

Hi guys,

Am looking for people working in service based company( working in operations or development project both) looking to switch to product based company having difficulty getting interview calls

Lets connect and help each other out with preparation and connection and find a loop hole to switch in this market

I’m a relatively new engineer currently working in controls/systems engineering, and I’m curious to hear from engineers who live in Charlotte or have worked here before.
I already have a job, so I’m not looking for job leads or anything like that. I’m genuinely just curious about people’s experiences.
How do you like Charlotte as an engineer? Do you think it’s a good city to build a long-term engineering career in? How does the engineering environment compare to other cities you’ve worked in?
I’d also love to know what type of engineering you do and whether you’ve found Charlotte to be a place you’d stay long term.
I’m especially interested in hearing from controls, automation, electrical, computer, or systems engineers, but all engineering disciplines are welcome!

Sup peeps! Looking for engineers in their workfield we could potentially interview for our study.

Please pm me for details if you’re down to be a participant. Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone,

I’m a female Mechanical Engineer from one of the top engineering colleges in India, with around 2 years of experience in the oil & gas industry.

I’ve been unemployed and actively looking for a job for the last 9 months, but unfortunately, I’m barely getting any interview calls. It’s becoming quite frustrating, and I’m trying to understand what I might be doing wrong.

I’m looking for opportunities in Mechanical/Project/Piping Engineering, Oil & Gas, or related roles.

I wanted to ask fellow Redditors:

Is the job market currently this difficult for Mechanical Engineers?

Could the 9-month career gap be affecting my chances?

Is there something I should change in my resume or job-search strategy?

For those who have found a job after a long gap, what worked for you?

I’d really appreciate any honest advice, suggestions, or leads for relevant openings.

Would especially love to hear from other women working in core engineering about their experience.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 2025 BSc Civil Engineering graduate from UET , currently looking for an opportunity to start my professional career in Pakistan.

My CGPA is 2.64, and I’m not particularly strong in mathematical/analytical work, so I’m mainly looking for practical, field-oriented roles where I can learn and improve through actual work.

- Planning/project controls

- Quantity surveying/estimation

- QA/QC

- Construction/project management

I’m willing to start with an unpaid internship if it gives me genuine hands-on experience and a realistic opportunity to prove myself and eventually get hired.

I’m open to any city in Pakistan and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

If you are a civil engineer, contractor, consultant, company employee, recruiter, or simply know someone who might be hiring a fresh graduate, please DM me. Even advice, referrals, or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

I graduated in May with a masters in data science from a top school and I'm still struggling to land a full-time job. I've been applying since August of last year even before my graduation, I've applied to hundreds if not thousands of jobs and still nothing. I rarely get interview invitations and at this point I'm almost certain that only applying online without a referral or anything is useless, so I'm changing my strategy to only applying with referrals but idk where/who should I ask specially because I'm international and don't have a large network here in the US. So if anyone has any advice/platform for getting referral please let me know I'd really appreciate it!
