• <strong>Project Coordination Intern </strong><strong>| </strong><strong>Central Public Works Department (CPWD)</strong>
• <strong>Location: Kolkata, West Bengal</strong>
• <strong>Employment Type: Internship (Full-Time)</strong>
• <strong>Duration: May 2026 - July 2026 (9 Weeks)</strong>
• <strong>Internship Overview:</strong>
• Completed a comprehensive field-based internship at the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), gaining hands-on exposure to construction project management across major institutional and infrastructure developments such as ICAR-CIFRI and ICAR-CRIJAF. Actively supervised day-to-day site execution activities, tracking structural milestones ranging from footing excavations and RCC framing to roof slab casting and riverbank protection works. Ensured stringent quality standards through rigorous material verifications, equipment mobilization tracking, and the systematic maintenance of critical site documentation, including MAS, Cement, and Test registers. Collaborated seamlessly with contractors and project engineers to monitor physical output against established schedules, review working drawings, and streamline administrative workflows.
• <strong>Key Learnings:</strong>
• <strong>1. Strategic Planning & Progress Control:</strong> Monitored and tracked daily construction activities against baseline schedules for two concurrent high-value institutional projects—the multi-storied research wing at ICAR-CIFRI and the biotechnology laboratory expansion at ICAR-CRIJAF—proactively identifying workflow bottlenecks and reporting schedule deviations.
• <strong>2. Site Execution & Lifecycle Supervision:</strong> Provided hands-on support to site engineering teams across multiple critical construction phases, tracking milestones from foundation excavation, plinth beam placement, and column rebar erection to complex superstructure framing, brick masonry, and roof slab casting.
• <strong>3. Resource Optimization & Logistics:</strong> Coordinated the deployment of heavy equipment and site resources, including ready-mix concrete batching plants, transit-mixer trucks, and concrete pumps, ensuring optimal utilization and synchronized communication between site supervisors, labor contractors, and material vendors.
• <strong>4. Quality Assurance & Material Compliance:</strong> Implemented rigorous quality control protocols by conducting physical checks and dimensional verification of incoming construction materials (such as machine-made blocks and bricks) against strict technical specifications prior to site sign-off.
• <strong>5. Technical Documentation & Records Management:</strong> Maintained meticulous site documentation and statutory records, including measurement books (MAS), cement, steel, and test registers, site order books, and inspection logs, while efficiently managing architectural and structural drawing revisions.
