Following a period of training at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, Kent, In January of 1876 Constable was serving at Roorkee in Bengal, India. While serving there he was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1884 and in December of that same year he was serving as Assistant Engineer, 1st Grade, in the Department of Public Works, on the West Rajputana State Railway, Southern Section. This was his first of many assignments as an engineer on the railroads of India. In 1885 Captain Constable was posted to the command of Major-General Sir Gerald Graham, V.C. at Suakin in the Sudan. Sir Gerald's plan for operations in the Sudan called for the construction of a railway from Suakin to Berber on the Nile, a distance of about 280 miles.
