Cochin Port Authority 2026: Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer (M) Recruitment (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced and meritorious Mechanical Engineering professionals currently serving in analogous Group A positions or feeder grades within Major Port Trusts or other Central Government organizations. Candidates must have a strong academic background, proven leadership capabilities, and significant regular service in relevant executive cadres. A track record of 'Very Good' or higher performance in Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) is essential for consideration.

Individuals lacking the specified years of regular service in the requisite pay scales or grades, those without a degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Electronics & Communication Engineering from a recognized university, and candidates unable to secure necessary departmental clearances and no-objection certificates from their current employer should not apply. This is an absorption-based role, not a direct recruitment for freshers or those without substantial government/PSU experience.

As a Class-I (Group A) position in the Cochin Port Authority, a key Central Government undertaking under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, this role offers substantial prestige and responsibility. It involves managing critical mechanical engineering aspects of a major port, providing a significant platform for professional growth and impact within India's maritime infrastructure sector. The high pay scale reflects the seniority and strategic importance of the position.
