The Engineering Procurement Construction Management Group, (EPCM) has recently completed the design, fabrication, and installation of a 1.5 km conveyor system for a large Government project in South East Asia. It was led by entrepreneur Rahul Thottiyil, and EPCM is now ready to offer its mechanical, electrical, and civil contract services all over the world.

Multi Award-Winner Rahul Thottiyil has been involved in major mining, port, and powerplant projects from Australia to Europe, and he is now aiming to become one of the world’s most competitive and sustainable engineering services providers in the world.

A mechanical engineer by profession, after completing his master’s degree in business and international marketing, he began analyzing gaps in the global engineering industry. His analysis led him towards a major gap in wear products and services and the handling of bulk materials.

He is keen not to focus on just one or two singular projects. Rahul said, “I enjoy working on larger business concepts and areas that can strengthen the mining process. Mainly I am focused on three areas - entire conveyor system projects for mining, port & power plants - entire engineering procurement construction management projects, plus service and maintenance contracts.”

He added, “I want to offer the most cost-effective engineering services anywhere in the world, and crucially these need to be sustainable solutions.”

To achieve such ambitious goals, Rahul is clear about what is required. “Undoubtedly, employees are the most important asset in any organisation. Proper investment in your staff is essential, as are procedures for career development. These are critical to success.”

Rahul is equally clear in what he looks for when interviewing potential staff. “I look for answers that feel personal and authentic, and are more than just ‘career development.’ Once I feel I have a good candidate in front of me, this question lets me think about the projects he or she might enjoy. If people are happy at work and love what they do, they are more productive, they will stay longer, and they will help recruit other passionate people they know."

But it isn’t all work and no play for Rahul. In his spare time, he loves nothing more than racing cars!
