My Professional Journey – Year 2000 to 2024
Shashikant Sarada MS, PE, PMP
Vice President | Offshore Engineering | Power & Energy | PE in Civil, Mech, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering | Licensed Fire Protection Engineer
It has been nearly 25 years since I graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Recently, while interacting with the bright minds at VJTI Mumbai, I was asked to reflect upon my professional journey. As a way to look back, I decided to create a list of 25 key projects and the many individuals who have influenced my career over the years—from my early days as a Civil/Structural Engineer to my current roles as a multi-discipline PE, project manager, and principal-in-charge.
As I compiled this list, one thing became abundantly clear: All of these projects would have achieved their goals without me, but I certainly would not be the same person without these experiences. Each project left an indelible mark on my career, teaching me valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, technical mastery, and perseverance.
I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with industry-leading organizations, contribute to world-record-making projects, and, most importantly, collaborate with truly remarkable individuals. Many of these projects spanned multiple years, and it was through these experiences that I gained the domain knowledge and technical depth necessary to pursue and pass multiple Professional Engineering (PE) exams.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but a glimpse into the projects and people who have helped shape my career. They continue to inspire me as I move forward in my professional journey. I cannot thank them enough!
I remain ever curious, eager to learn more, build upon my past project experiences, and contribute all I can to future successes.
