Administration and Facilities Head at TATA Consulting Engineers, managing a 100,000 sq. ft. facility and strengthening safety and compliance.
What I'm looking for
At TATA Consulting Engineers, I lead administration and facility management for a standalone corporate facility of approximately 100,000 sq. ft. My work spans hard and soft integrated facility management, budgeting, vendor governance, and travel services.
I implemented preventive maintenance frameworks, Emergency Response Teams, visitor management systems, and energy-conservation initiatives. I also developed SOPs, policies, and MIS dashboards, while maintaining strong audit outcomes and a zero-non-compliance culture.
At Times Group, I managed administration and facilities across corporate, project, and regional offices. I also headed travel and expatriate services, including visas, work permits, relocations, and accommodation.
Earlier, I managed security and administration across Page Industries locations and corporate office operations at Siemens Infotech Systems Limited. Before my corporate roles, I served in the Indian Army, handling administration, personnel management, and logistics, and received COAS and Army Commander commendations.
