What departments shall I create??

Dear Seniors,
Earlier I used to work in an IT Company. I have newly joined as a HR Manager in a construction company where there was no HR Department.None of the processes are systematic here.There are only paper records.No soft copy of any important documents.

I am in the process of constructing the HR Department and make the processes systematic.I went through many postings in Cite HR and decided to start with preparing the hierarchy chart and preparing departments and assigning designations and employee codes.I have got the consent from my boss to move ahead with this.
However I need you help in this.

Question1 : As of now there are only accounts, admin,hr (after I joined), marketing departments here. However, there are site engineers, site supervisors,project engineers also.But I am unaware of what department they will belong to. Please suggest me what departments can be created for a construction company..
I have planned about Business Development and Customer Service.
But what about those people who are on site as I mentioned above?

Question2: Also how to assign employee code?Is there any system to follow?

I am loooking forward to your help as I am completely unaware of Construction field.

Project Department would be a good option i guess.

For question no 2 - You can give number starting from one based on the date of joining.

Hi Revathi,

For contruction u have following department:

Planning - u have planning head and executives
Quality - Quality head and executives
Materials and Purchase department
Customer Service Executive (this person does dfollow up on collection and interacts with existign customers frequently)
Marketing department
The project Head may come under the projects / ops dept

Thanks a lot for your immediate responses.
But Asha I have a doubt that what about the site supervisors, store keepers etc.Which department for them?will they also be under operations?

Revathi Pillai

They wil come under projects department,.

Site Engineer, SIte supervisors.. all of them.
That is they will report to the project head.

Do u have a project dept as such?
If not they came under Operations Dept.

Thanks alot Ms.Asha for your prompt reply.I will consider your points and create departments accordingly.
