ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are a Kolkata-based infrastructure project integration and execution management company focused on road and highway construction, earthwork, subgrade preparation, open-cast mining and overburden removal (OBR).

The company operates through an asset-light, back-to-back contracting model, executing project packages through established subcontractors, equipment owners and JV partners rather than relying on its own large machinery fleet or permanent labour gangs.

The Directors lead client relationships and business development. The General Manager will take primary responsibility for converting awarded work orders into successful, timely and profitable execution through effective subcontractor mobilisation, project monitoring, commercial management, billing and collections.

COMPENSATION & PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE

Initial Phase

- Monthly retainership: 50,000
- Approved business travel and site expenses reimbursed separately on actuals, as per company policy.

Performance-Based Progression

- Monthly retainership may increase up to 1,00,000 based on demonstrated execution capability, project control, commercial performance and profitability against mutually agreed milestones.

Performance Incentive

- 10% share of eligible project net profit, subject to a mutually agreed written formula, project-accounting verification and applicable payment conditions.

The incentive structure is designed to reward professionals who deliver measurable project results and protect the company's profitability.
