Hybrid Role: Work is split between the corporate office and active job sites.
Mobility: Must be able to walk job sites, climb temporary stairs/ladders, and wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Lifting: Occasional lifting of project documents or materials (up to 20 lbs).
Why Paryani?
Career Path: We have a clear promotion track. Successful Project Engineers are groomed to become Assistant Project Managers and Project Managers.
