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 Bhubaneswar; the products come after the plants. About the group
Where you will work
Project Engineers based in Bhubaneswar are deployed to operating plants across four industrial belts of Odisha: Angul and Talcher, Jharsuguda and Sambalpur, Paradip, Kalinganagar, Jajpur and Rourkela. 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, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal when a project needs it.
Aluminium smelting, steel, coal and thermal power. Project Engineers based in Bhubaneswar are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Aluminium, power and ferro alloys. Project Engineers based in Bhubaneswar are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser and port. Project Engineers based in Bhubaneswar are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Integrated steel, stainless steel and ferro alloys. Project Engineers based in Bhubaneswar are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Odisha has the densest heavy-industry corridor in eastern India. Angul and Talcher hold aluminium smelting, steel and coal-fired power on one stretch of road; Jharsuguda and Sambalpur add aluminium, ferro alloys and power; Paradip holds a refinery, a petrochemical complex, fertiliser and the port; Kalinganagar, Jajpur and Rourkela hold integrated and stainless steel. Smelters and steel plants run some of the highest fault levels in Indian industry, which makes arc flash and relay coordination studies a recurring need, and their brownfield expansions make 3D LiDAR capture and as-built drawings a constant one. A Project Engineer based in Bhubaneswar is deployed to this belt by road and rail within a few hours.
Open roles · Odisha
Two Project Engineer roles are open for Odisha, one electrical and one mechanical, both based in Bhubaneswar 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 Bhubaneswar, deployed to plants across Odisha and Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh 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 Bhubaneswar, deployed to plants across Odisha and Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh 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 Bhubaneswar: switchgear data collection at an aluminium smelter in the Angul belt under a study engineer, then the ETAP model and relay coordination curves back in the office, then a steel plant in the Kalinganagar belt where you lead the walkdown. A mechanical Project Engineer typically starts on a Leica RTC360 scan of a refinery or fertiliser unit at Paradip and converts the point cloud into as-built P&IDs and plant layout drawings. 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 Bhubaneswar works on Odisha'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 Odisha | Metro move | VB Project Engineer, Bhubaneswar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plants seen in year one | One | One to three | Many, across power, steel, refinery, cement and pharma in Odisha |
| 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 Bhubaneswar |
| 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 Odisha
Register once on careers.vbengg.com, choose Bhubaneswar 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 Rourkela, IIT Bhubaneswar, VSSUT Burla, CET Bhubaneswar, IGIT Sarang, PMEC Berhampur, GCE Keonjhar, KIIT and SOA, and from any AICTE-approved college in Odisha.
Odisha's engineering graduates often sit OPSC AEE, OSSC JE or GATE for two or three years after college. VB Engineering offers a route that starts the month you apply: a technical discussion instead of an exam, a live smelter or steel plant instead of a waiting list, and the standards work (NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, IEC 60909) that any plant electrical department will test you on later. Engineers who later clear an exam leave with plant studies on their CV; engineers who stay grow to signing engineer.
Name, mobile, email, batch year and Bhubaneswar as preferred location. One application covers both Odisha 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 Bhubaneswar and start on a live project under a study engineer.
Questions engineers from Odisha ask
Yes. VB Engineering hires Project Engineers (Electrical and Mechanical) with 0 to 3 years of experience based in Bhubaneswar, deployed to plants across Odisha. 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 Bhubaneswar work on plants in Odisha and the neighbouring states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh 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 Angul and Talcher, Jharsuguda and Sambalpur, Paradip, Kalinganagar, Jajpur and Rourkela belts: aluminium smelting, steel, coal and thermal power; aluminium, power and ferro alloys; refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser and port; integrated steel, stainless steel and ferro alloys. The plant you are deployed to depends on the live project.
VB Engineering welcomes applications from graduates and diploma holders of NIT Rourkela, IIT Bhubaneswar, VSSUT Burla, CET Bhubaneswar, IGIT Sarang, PMEC Berhampur, GCE Keonjhar, KIIT and SOA, 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 Bhubaneswar sees many plants in Odisha 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.
