Tata Projects, an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, plans to hire more than 1,000 people in FY2024 to drive ongoing tasks and prepare for expansion, an official said.

The Tata Group company planned to hire about 1,300 candidates across roles in various projects this year and has already recruited 1,100 people. In the next financial year, the target is 1,000 new hires. However, this figure may fluctuate, depending on attrition.

Moneycontrol reported earlier that although attrition levels are higher than in previous years at Tata Projects, it is still lower than the industry average. The war for talent is intense as investments in infrastructure continue to be high with many large projects announced across the country.

As an EPC company, Tata Projects needs a mix of freshers and lateral talent. The company also needs people for HR, finance, and administration.
“Recently, we launched our ERP (enterprise resource planning) implementation project, so we are also recruiting around 200-250 IT and ERP experts this year,” Ganesh Chandan, CHRO of Tata Projects, told Moneycontrol.
