Engineering Intern – Job Description

Why this internship exists

We want civil engineering students to see how raw land becomes an approved, developed plot layout. You will work on live land drawings and sites with our team, not on practice exercises.

About us

South Face Developers is a real estate startup based in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. We aggregate land, build on it, and sell the finished plots and units to buyers. Because we are a small, early-stage team, interns work directly with the founders and see every stage of a project, from land to construction to sales.

About the internship

You will report to our [Founder / Site Engineer] and split your time between the office and our project sites. By the end of the internship, you will have drafted real layout and site development drawings in AutoCAD, and seen at least one layout move from survey to approval to work on the ground.

- Prepare plot layout drawings in AutoCAD: divide land into plots, roads, open spaces and reserved areas as per DTCP norms.
- Turn survey data and FMB sketches into AutoCAD base maps, and combine aggregated parcels into one site plan.
- Draft site development drawings: road layouts with levels, storm water drains, culverts, water supply and street lighting.
- Prepare contour and levelling drawings, and work out cut-and-fill quantities.
- Help prepare layout approval drawings for DTCP or the local body, and sales layout maps for brochures and plot bookings.
