Career Description

Power Engineers have about 5 levels.

A first class power engineer being considered a Chief Engineer in charge of large power plants for looking after the safety and efficient operation. He is usually equivalent to a mechanical engineer owing to the hands-on experience that he has.

A second class power engineer is on a supervisor level and is in charge of overseeing functions.

A third class power engineer usually performs a lot of maintenance work and monitor efficient operations of natural resources.

A fourth and fifth class power engineer is usually from the entry-level who are performing field work and in charge of monitoring.

The average salary range for a beginner would be 2.5-3 L and may shoot up to 50L as they extend to the managerial and supervisory roles.
