Where you will work
Project Engineers based in Kanpur are deployed to operating plants across four industrial belts of Uttar Pradesh: Kanpur and Unnao, Mathura, Sonbhadra, Anpara and Obra, Noida, Greater Noida and Dadri. 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 Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand when a project needs it.
Engineering, defence, leather and chemicals. Project Engineers based in Kanpur are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Refinery and petrochemical. Project Engineers based in Kanpur are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Thermal power and aluminium. Project Engineers based in Kanpur are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Data centres, electronics and power. Project Engineers based in Kanpur are deployed here for power system studies, 3D LiDAR capture, as-built drawings and plant safety studies.
Uttar Pradesh's industry is large and varied, and Kanpur sits at its centre. Kanpur and Unnao hold engineering, defence, leather and chemicals; Mathura holds a refinery and petrochemical complex; Sonbhadra, Anpara and Obra hold one of the largest thermal power clusters in the country with aluminium alongside; Noida, Greater Noida and Dadri hold data centres, electronics and power. Data centres and refineries both run arc flash studies on fixed cycles and both document every change with as-built drawings; power clusters need relay coordination after every unit addition. A Project Engineer based in Kanpur reaches Lucknow, Jhansi and Prayagraj within hours and the NCR and Sonbhadra clusters by overnight travel.
Open roles · Uttar Pradesh
Two Project Engineer roles are open for Uttar Pradesh, one electrical and one mechanical, both based in Kanpur 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 Kanpur, deployed to plants across Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand. 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 Kanpur, deployed to plants across Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand. 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 Kanpur: switchgear and cable data collection at a thermal power station in the Sonbhadra belt with a study engineer, the ETAP model and relay coordination curves back in the office, then a data centre in the Noida belt where you lead the walkdown. A mechanical Project Engineer typically starts on a Leica RTC360 scan of a refinery unit or an engineering works and converts the point cloud into as-built P&IDs and plant layout. 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 Kanpur works on Uttar Pradesh'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 Uttar Pradesh | Metro move | VB Project Engineer, Kanpur |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plants seen in year one | One | One to three | Many, across power, steel, refinery, cement and pharma in Uttar Pradesh |
| 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 Kanpur |
| 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 Uttar Pradesh
Register once on careers.vbengg.com, choose Kanpur 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 IIT Kanpur, HBTU Kanpur, MNNIT Prayagraj, IIT BHU, MMMUT Gorakhpur, BIET Jhansi, KNIT Sultanpur and the AKTU network of colleges, and from any AICTE-approved college in Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh graduates often sit UPPSC AE, UPSSSC JE, UPPCL 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 plant in your own state instead of a waiting list, and the standards work (NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, IEC 60909) that any plant department tests for. 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 Kanpur as preferred location. One application covers both Uttar Pradesh 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 Kanpur and start on a live project under a study engineer.
Questions engineers from Uttar Pradesh ask
Yes. VB Engineering hires Project Engineers (Electrical and Mechanical) with 0 to 3 years of experience based in Kanpur, deployed to plants across Uttar Pradesh. 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 Kanpur work on plants in Uttar Pradesh and the neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand. 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 Kanpur and Unnao, Mathura, Sonbhadra, Anpara and Obra, Noida, Greater Noida and Dadri belts: engineering, defence, leather and chemicals; refinery and petrochemical; thermal power and aluminium; data centres, electronics and power. The plant you are deployed to depends on the live project.
VB Engineering welcomes applications from graduates and diploma holders of IIT Kanpur, HBTU Kanpur, MNNIT Prayagraj, IIT BHU, MMMUT Gorakhpur, BIET Jhansi, KNIT Sultanpur and the AKTU network of colleges, 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 Kanpur sees many plants in Uttar Pradesh 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.
