A global digital engineering company with operations in the United States and India and projects in 21 countries, building WisTwin, VijAI, Drona VR and the Industrial Metaverse on top of its plant engineering. You join through VB Engineering as a Project Engineer in Patna; the products come after the plants. About the group
Where you will work
Project Engineers based in Patna are deployed to operating plants across four industrial belts of Bihar: Barauni and Begusarai, Barh, Nabinagar and Kahalgaon, Muzaffarpur, Hajipur and Bihta, Patna and Fatuha. The work is power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies on plants that are running, with travel to neighbouring Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal when a project needs it.
Refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser and thermal power. Project Engineers based in Patna are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Large thermal power stations. Project Engineers based in Patna are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Pharma, food processing and manufacturing estates. Project Engineers based in Patna are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Industrial area, utilities and infrastructure. Project Engineers based in Patna are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Bihar's industrial base runs along the Ganga. Barauni carries a refinery, a petrochemical complex and a fertiliser plant within a few kilometres of each other; Begusarai, Barh, Nabinagar and Kahalgaon carry some of the largest thermal power capacity in eastern India; Muzaffarpur, Hajipur and the Bihta estate carry pharma, food processing and light manufacturing. Each of these plants has switchgear that needs an arc flash study on a five-year cycle, drawings that no longer match what is installed, and expansions that need a scan before design can start. That is the work a Project Engineer based in Patna is deployed to, and most of it is within a day's travel of the city.
Open roles · Bihar
Two Project Engineer roles are open for Bihar, one electrical and one mechanical, both based in Patna with a 0 to 3 years band, open to B.E., B.Tech and Diploma holders, with CTC starting at ₹2.4 lakh per annum. One application on the careers portal covers both.
Based in Patna, deployed to plants across Bihar and Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. First-year work: arc flash and relay coordination studies on live switchgear, plant modelling in ETAP or SKM, electrical as-built drawings.
Apply for this roleBased in Patna, deployed to plants across Bihar and Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. First-year work: 3D LiDAR scanning with the Leica RTC360, as-built P&IDs, piping and plant layout, data for simulation models.
Apply for this roleA typical first year for an electrical Project Engineer based in Patna: three months collecting switchgear and cable data at a thermal power station with a study engineer, three months building the plant model in ETAP back in the office, then a second plant where you lead the walkdown yourself. A mechanical Project Engineer typically spends the first months on a 3D LiDAR capture of a refinery unit at Barauni, then converts the point cloud into as-built P&IDs and isometrics in Patna. The pattern is the same in every state: one plant to learn on, the next to lead on. (Illustrative sequence; the actual deployment follows live projects.)
Why stay
Because the multinational comes to you. A VB Project Engineer in Patna works on Bihar's own plants to the same standards, with the same tools and the same review as the Hyderabad hub, as part of a group that delivers in 21 countries. The CV reads the same; the rent and the distance from home do not.
| Question | Plant job in Bihar | Metro move | VB Project Engineer, Patna |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plants seen in year one | One | One to three | Many, across power, steel, refinery, cement and pharma in Bihar |
| Software learnt | Plant's own systems | Depends on the employer | ETAP or SKM, ElecTwin, Leica Cyclone, AutoCAD, FlexSim |
| Standards applied | Plant procedures | Varies | NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, IEC 60909, IS 732, with a reviewing engineer |
| Home | In state | Out of state | In state, based in Patna |
| Route in | Often GATE or PSU exam | Campus or referral | Portal and technical discussion, no exam, no fee |
| Growth | Plant hierarchy | Employer dependent | Five stages to signing engineer, hub seat as study work grows |
Freshers from Bihar
Register once on careers.vbengg.com, choose Patna as your location, upload a CV that names the software you have used, and take a technical discussion with a practising VB engineer. VB Engineering welcomes applications from graduates and diploma holders of NIT Patna, IIT Patna, MIT Muzaffarpur, BCE Bhagalpur and the state government engineering colleges at Gaya, Nalanda, Darbhanga and Chapra, and from any AICTE-approved college in Bihar.
Many engineers in Bihar spend two or three years preparing for BPSC AE, SSC JE or GATE after graduation. VB Engineering offers a parallel route that starts the month you apply: a technical discussion instead of an exam, a live plant instead of a waiting list, and the same standards work that a PSU electrical department would expect you to know. Engineers who later clear a government exam leave with two years of plant studies on their CV; engineers who stay grow to signing engineer.
Name, mobile, email, batch year and Patna as preferred location. One application covers both Bihar roles.
PDF under 2 MB. List AutoCAD, ETAP, MATLAB, SolidWorks or Revit exposure, even from a college lab.
A VB engineer in your discipline talks through a plant problem: a single-line diagram, a P&ID, or what a 3D scan of a pump house must capture.
Offer from a VB Group email address. You join in Patna and start on a live project under a study engineer.
Questions engineers from Bihar ask
Yes. VB Engineering hires Project Engineers (Electrical and Mechanical) with 0 to 3 years of experience based in Patna, deployed to plants across Bihar. B.E., B.Tech and Diploma freshers of the 2024, 2025 and 2026 batches can apply; CTC starts at ₹2.4 lakh per annum.
No. Project Engineers hired in Patna work on plants in Bihar and the neighbouring states of Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Engineers who later move into study and review roles may be offered a seat at the Hyderabad hub; the move follows the work.
VB Engineering project teams work on operating plants in the Barauni and Begusarai, Barh, Nabinagar and Kahalgaon, Muzaffarpur, Hajipur and Bihta, Patna and Fatuha belts: refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser and thermal power; large thermal power stations; pharma, food processing and manufacturing estates; industrial area, utilities and infrastructure. The plant you are deployed to depends on the live project.
VB Engineering welcomes applications from graduates and diploma holders of NIT Patna, IIT Patna, MIT Muzaffarpur, BCE Bhagalpur and the state government engineering colleges at Gaya, Nalanda, Darbhanga and Chapra, and from any AICTE-approved college. Applications are read on the CV and the technical discussion, not on the college name.
A plant engineer sees one plant for years. A VB Project Engineer based in Patna sees many plants in Bihar in the first year, across power, steel, refinery, cement and pharma, and the study carries a named engineer's signature. Engineers who want a single-plant career are better served by the plant; engineers who want breadth and standards work are served here.
