He arrived in India in September 1830 and in October was posted to Delhi for duty with the Sappers and Miners; he commanded a company of S & M until late 1834. In May 1834, he was appointed Assistant to the Executive Engineer of the Allahabad Division of Public Works, continuing in that role until August 1835 when he transferred in the same capacity to the Cawnpore Division, for the purpose of superintending the construction of a bridge on the Cawnpore-Allahabad road. In April 1838, he was appointed Executive Engineer of the Mhow Division of Public Works, but never joined as he was retained (in a temporary capacity) in the Cawnpore Division and in December 1839 was posted to the force assembling for the siege of Jhansi.

In August 1840, he was appointed Executive Engineer of the Dacca Division but was also ordered to remain where he was until January 1841 and then proceeded towards Dacca. However, he was soon recalled to Allahabad and in the Spring of 1841 fell into the temporary charge of the Allahabad Division with, from May 1842, additional responsibility for the Trunk Road from Fatehpur to Allahabad, and in January 1843, he was formally appointed to the charge of the Division.

Shortly afterwards, he was appointed as Officiating Garrison Engineer at Fort William and Officiating Civil Architect for the Presidency, but at his own request this was cancelled in the following month, and he remained at Mian Meer until his death there in 1856. His major work during his time at Mian Meer (1851-56) was the design and construction of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. In June 1856, he was appointed Officiating Superintending Engineer of the First Circle of Public Works in the Punjab, which appointment he held until his death, from cholera, at Mian Meer on 17 August 1856.
