- Associate Officer Grade II – 7 posts
This takes the total number of vacancies to 109 posts.
Associate Engineer Grade II
EIL has announced 19 vacancies for Associate Engineer Grade II. The upper age limit is 37 years, with the position carrying a consolidated monthly remuneration in the range of approximately ₹72,000–₹80,000.
Candidates are required to have the prescribed engineering qualification and relevant professional experience, including experience in construction-related activities associated with refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser, power or similar major projects.
Associate Engineer Grade III
There are 47 vacancies for Associate Engineer Grade III. The upper age limit is 41 years, while the consolidated monthly remuneration is approximately ₹86,400–₹96,000.
Candidates are required to have the prescribed engineering qualification along with substantial relevant post-qualification experience.
Associate Engineer Grade IV
EIL has notified 36 vacancies for Associate Engineer Grade IV. The upper age limit is 45 years, and the consolidated monthly remuneration is approximately ₹1,00,800–₹1,12,000.
The position requires extensive relevant experience, with the notification specifying experience requirements for construction activities associated with major industrial projects.
Associate Officer Grade II
There are 7 vacancies for Associate Officer Grade II. The upper age limit is 37 years, and the consolidated monthly remuneration is approximately ₹72,000–₹80,000.
The Associate Officer position is linked to Materials Management-related experience, rather than a conventional Finance/Accounts role. Candidates should therefore carefully check the educational qualification and experience requirements in the official notification before applying.
Is This EIL Recruitment Relevant for CA/CMA Professionals?
CA/CMA candidates should note that this particular 109-post recruitment should not be presented as a Finance/Accounts recruitment.
Although EIL does recruit finance professionals from time to time, its current 109-post Advertisement No. HRD/Rectt./Advt./2026-27/11 primarily covers engineering and materials-management positions.
EIL’s general career information does indicate opportunities for finance professionals. Its career page, for example, identifies Assistant F&A Officer as a career level for candidates with CA/ICWA qualification.
Therefore, for The Worldonomics Times’ “PSU Jobs for CA/CMA” section, this recruitment should preferably be classified under “PSU Jobs – Engineering & Materials Management”, rather than “PSU Jobs for CA/CMA”.
Contract Period
The appointments under this recruitment are on a fixed-term basis. The initial engagement is for two years, with the possibility of extension by another year depending on project requirements, subject to the terms of the recruitment notification.
The selected candidates may be deployed at EIL’s foreign construction projects, including projects in Nigeria and Ethiopia. This provides an opportunity for experienced professionals to gain exposure to large-scale international project execution.
Selection Process
The selection process involves:
- Online submission of the application.
- Screening of applications by EIL.
- Shortlisting of eligible candidates.
- Personal interview/walk-in interview.
- Final selection based on the recruitment terms and applicable requirements.
The interview venues mentioned for the recruitment include Gurugram, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Candidates shortlisted for interview will receive further communication regarding the interview schedule.
Important Date
The last date for submission of the online application is 2 November 2026 at 2:00 PM.
Candidates are advised not to wait until the last day to complete the application process. They should carefully check their eligibility, experience, age and discipline requirements before submitting the application.
How to Apply
Eligible candidates should visit the official Engineers India Limited Career/Recruitment section, locate Advertisement No. HRD/Rectt./Advt./2026-27/11, read the detailed notification and complete the online application.
