Hi,
I recently came to qatar and got my RP under my father sponsorship. My occupation mentioned on qid is student as i have recently completed graduation in civil engg.
While looking for a job, i see that most of companies require tranferable visa and NOC.
Can anybody tell me whether my visa is transferable or not? My father will give me the NOC. Can i work here as civil engr if my occupation is student on RP.
I read somewhere that females can work under their father/husband sopnsorship. What is the procedure for males?
Please advise..

And don't trust anybody. Labor contracts must be attested by the Ministry and you must get a copy!!

Yes. You can transfer your visa with ease. I had done it myself. Unlike females, it is mandatory for males to transfer their sponsorship to work legally. Regarding your profession, once your RP is transferred, your profession will change to suitable one according to your job (and company).

As a side note, only transfer your sponsorship if the company and the job you're about to join is good enough for you in a long term. There is no coming back to your father's sponsorship. Also i suggest you to wait until the new labor law implementation in December.
