Profile:
S Venkatesan
Planning Expert


Commercial Management | Project Management
With over 30 years of experience in Civil Engineering, I specialize in deep foundation systems, industrial infrastructure, and large-scale building projects. My career began in field execution, where I gained extensive expertise in pile foundations, bridges, machine foundations, and residential and commercial buildings. This solid technical foundation has enabled me to handle complex construction challenges with precision and efficiency.
In the later part of my career, I moved into project planning, quantity surveying, budgeting, cost control, and corporate-level project coordination. I have successfully managed projects through their entire lifecycle, from contract review and execution to billing, audits, and claims management. My expertise in ISO 9001:2015 Quality Auditing and QMS implementation has helped ensure compliance, improve efficiency, and drive continual improvement across multiple project sites.
My core specialization lies in foundation engineering, industrial civil works (power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical projects), and the construction of commercial and residential buildings. By combining field execution knowledge with strategic project management skills, I deliver projects that achieve technical excellence, cost efficiency, and long-term sustainability. With proven leadership and problem-solving abilities, I continue to contribute as a trusted expert in infrastructure development.
